• http://server.edu/test1.tp2
  
  
• http://server.edu/math101/mytest.tp2

Typically these URL's would be entered as links on a web page so the participant would not need to type in a long URL.

Note that the file mytest.tp2 is accompanied by a mytest.tpj file. This is a file automatically created by Test Pilot which is used to store all of your participants' responses. There alos appear to be two accompanying graphics files which may be associated with questions in the assessment: picture1.gif and picture2.jpg.

Accessing either of these URL's should result in a Test Pilot login screen as shown below:

The user may enter an authorized id in the user id box and hit return or click on the Request button to access the assessment. If you have enabled such an option, the participant may review their previous responses and score to this assessment by clicking on the Review Your Score button.

If this assessment was set up as an anonymous assessment, this login dialog would be bypassed and the assessment itself would have been displayed.

A Word about Server File Permissions

The methods of file security vary greatly between operating systems but two general rules apply:

1. The .tp2 file must be able to be read and written by the web server. That is, it cannot be marked read-only or secured in such a manner that the web server software cannot read or write it.
   
   
   • For MacOS, this means the file shouldn't be locked.
     
     
   • For NT, this means that the security permissions properties must be set to allow the SYSTEM account to read and write the file.
     
     
   • For UNIX, this means the server process must be permitted to read and write the file.
     
     
2. the directory where the .tp2 file resides must permit the server to create and modify files.
   
   

• This is the norm for MacOS.
  
  
• For NT, this means that the SYSTEM account must be able to read and write in the directory.
  
  
• For UNIX, this means the server process must be permitted to read and write in the directory.
