5.1 Active Directory

The following table describes the details of test environment.

Load	50,000 virtual users
Directory	Active Directory
Challenge-Response Storage Location	Active Directory

The tests cover the following functional areas:

5.1.1 New User Registration

This test is to measure the performance of Self Service Password Reset while registering a new user. Perform the following steps to check the performance:

Access SSPR login page (first time) and login with the credentials.
Answer the Challenge-Response
Save the responses and logout.

Scenario: Total of 50000 users performing submitting their challenge-response for the first time in which 200 are concurrent users performing transactions simultaneously.

The following table describes how the application performs.

Number of transactions	Number of concurrent users	Time interval between each concurrent user login	Constant waitTimer between each transactions	CPU and memory usage	Number of Failed Transaction
50000	200	2seconds	10 seconds to login 10 seconds to answer challenge-response	CPU- 99% Memory- 24%	9

5.1.2 Change Password

This test is to measure the performance of Self Service Password Reset while changing the password of a existing user. Perform the following steps to check the performance:

Access SSPR login page and login.
Post authentication, click Change password.
Auto logout from the server after changing password.

Scenario: Total of 50000 users changing their password in which 180 are concurrent users performing transactions simultaneously.

The following table describes how the system performs.

Number of transactions	Number of concurrent users	Time interval between each concurrent user login	Constant waitTimer between each transactions	CPU and memory usage	Number of Failed Transaction
50000	180	1 second	20 seconds to login. 20 seconds to change password.	CPU- 56% Memory- 23%	6

5.1.3 Forgotten Password

This test is to measure the performance of Self Service Password Reset while changing the password through forgotten password module. Perform the following steps to check the performance:

NOTE:Forgotten password operation requires high CPU utilization. So, necessary resources need to be allocated before performing a higher number of concurrent user transactions.

Access SSPR login page.
Click Forgotten Password.
Enter the last name for user validation.
Answer the challenge-response.
Change the password.
Auto log out from the server after changing password.

Scenario: Total of 50000 users changing their password in which 180 are concurrent users performing transactions simultaneously.

The following table describes how the application performs.

Number of transactions	Number of concurrent users	Time interval between each concurrent user login	Constant waitTimer between each transactions	CPU and memory usage	Number of Failed Transaction
50000	180	2 seconds	10 seconds to enter the last name. 4 seconds to answer challenge-response 10 seconds to change password.	CPU- 99% Memory- 23%	6

Scenario: Total of 50000 users changing their password in which 450 are concurrent users performing transactions simultaneously.

Number of transactions	Number of concurrent users	Time interval between each concurrent user login	Constant waitTimer between each transactions	CPU and memory usage	Number of Failed Transaction
50000	450	2 seconds	10 seconds to enter the last name. 4 seconds to answer challenge-response. 10 seconds to change password.	CPU- 99% Memory- 23%	24

Scenario: Total of 50000 users changing their password in which 850 are concurrent users performing transactions simultaneously.

Number of transactions	Number of concurrent users	Time interval between each concurrent user login	Constant waitTimer between each transactions	CPU and memory usage	Number of Failed Transaction
50000	850	2 seconds	10 seconds to enter the last name. 4 seconds to answer challenge-response 10 seconds to change password.	CPU- 99% Memory- 23%	1383

Scenario: Total of 50000 users changing their password in which 1100 are concurrent users performing transactions simultaneously.

Number of transactions	Number of concurrent users	Time interval between each concurrent user login	Constant waitTimer between each transactions	CPU and memory usage	Number of Failed Transaction
50000	1100	2 seconds	10 seconds to enter the last name. 4 seconds to answer challenge-response 10 seconds to change password.	CPU- 99% Memory- 23%	24834
