example, the new test script is called checkOpenPorts.py, and it fails if any of the
specified ports are open on the target host being tested. Before examining the code, consider
the following information about the test scripts:
All test scripts contain a self.inputParams hash table that has all input parameters
configured through the policy properties HTML. For example, if the testConfig
variable for the test is set to:
<input id="myparam" name="myparam" value="">
Then, the self inputParams contains a myparams key that is set to the value of the
HTML input element set in the policy editor.
All test scripts contain a self.session member variable that is set by Novell
ZENworks Network Access Control when the test class is instantiated. It contains a
reference to a Session object, which is a built-in Python class defined by Novell
ZENworks Network Access Control and is used internally by the BasicTests class
described later in this section. However, to retrieve the host name or IP address, use
host() method:
self.session.host()
when developing scripts.
All tests contain a reference to the BasicTests class called self.bt. The self.bt
class gives you access to commonly used functions for testing endpoints including registry
operations and service operations. See
more information on the BasicTests API. This example does not use this API.
