Component

Details

1. Apptimized Portal

The platform where Apptimized customer manages projects portfolios.

 

Technical requirement for working in Apptimized:

1. Browsers:

  • Google Chrome (version 75.0 or above);
  • Mozilla Firefox with (version 60.0 or above;above);
  • Apple Safari with (version 12.0 or above;above);
  • Internet Explorer with (version 11.0.0).

2. Enabled Java-script in browser;

3. Speed of internet connections – min 50 Mb/s.

4. Enabled firewall white list: 195.201.82.88; 195.201.170.90; https://app.apptimized.com/; https://rdproxy.apptimized.com/; https://cdn.apptimized.com; *.zoho.eu; *.chatlio.com

2. Customer Environment

Information technology environment, including software, hardware, and systems (e.g., endpoint PCs, VMs, servers, networks).

 

The access of endpoint PC or VM to the 80 and 443 port of the app.apptimized.com host is a prerequisite.

2.1. Proxy server

This component is optional.

A proxy server is a third party between the customer and the service (the Apptimized Portal). A proxy server manages the requests sent by the customer and completes them depending on the system's preferences.

2.2. Apptimized TO GO agent

Apptimized TO GO agent allows a customer to turn a local machine, PC's or VM's into Apptimized VM so that they can be used for discovery and testing.

The Apptimized TO GO agent must be installed and launched on a local PC by the local administrator.

 

Communication process and methods

The Apptimized Portal communicates to the Customer environment via API.

To integrate the Apptimized Portal, the Apptimized TO GO agent must be installed to the endpoint PC.

To identify the customer, a deployment code (i.e. 3D6-111DC-1) or TO GO file
(i.e. 11321.Apptimized.togo) from Apptimized is used. Any other identifications from the customer will not be requested.

When data is received from the Apptimized Portal, the Apptimized TO GO agent mounts a network share with source files and prerequisites using Command Promt commands.

UI automation is used for capturing user interactions while discovery and testing. Screenshots are sent every 500 milliseconds.

UI automation is used to play backplayback the recorded actions in Echo.

 

The TO GO agent is configured to communicate with the Apptimized Portal using HTTPS protocol. The text box below provides the certificate details:

Issued by – K Software certificate Authority (DV) 2 https://sectigo.com/legal


Version – V3


Signature algorithm – sha256RSA


Signature hash algorithm – sha256


Public key – RSA (2048 Bits)


TLS – 1.2

 

 

The information flow content depends on the type of customer activity (see
Cases 1-2).

 

Case 1.

A customer discovers/ tests TimKosse_FileZilla_3.46.3_English(United States) via Apptimized TO GO agent. To run the Apptimized TO GO agent a deployment code is used.

Case 2.

A customer discovers/ tests TimKosse_FileZilla_3.46.3_English(United States) via Apptimized TO GO agent. To run the Apptimized TO GO agent a TO GO file is used.
