Integration Tests

At this point of time, InSpec is not able to pick up the token directly, therefore the integration test is semi-automatic at this point of time:

• run kitchen converge
• open https://192.168.251.2 and log in with user admin and password admin
• click on user->about and obtain the access token and the refresh token
• run kitchen verify with the required env variables:

# both token need to be set, since the test suite runs for each token type
export COMPLIANCE_ACCESSTOKEN='mycompliancetoken'
export COMPLIANCE_REFRESHTOKEN='myrefreshtoken'
kitchen verify
