appliance-test-setup

Automate Safeguard test object provisioning by orchestrating the full lifecycle of admin users, assets, and accounts, then execute deterministic reverse-dependency cleanup to remove all leftover resources. This provides repeatable setup and teardown for live appliance integration tests.

Set up A2A certificates for integration tests by generating client certificates, installing trusted certificates, linking certificate users by thumbprint, and registering A2A credential retrieval. This establishes the required certificate and A2A registration chain for testing.

The correct dependency order for Safeguard test assets requires creating a dedicated test admin, an asset, an asset account, and then the related A2A certificates and users. You must supply correct platform and partition IDs to establish this chain.

Yes, you need an authenticated safeguard-ps session to provision test objects on a live appliance. This active PowerShell module session provides the required authorization to execute resource creation and A2A registration commands.

Safeguard test object cleanup fails or leaves leftovers when teardown does not execute in reverse dependency order. Removing A2A registrations and underlying objects in the correct reverse sequence prevents leftover resources and reduces test flakiness.

Yes, appliance-test-setup targets scenarios needing repeatable provisioning of Safeguard resources. It creates and removes integration-test users, assets, accounts, certificates, and A2A registrations on a connected appliance using a dedicated admin account.
