    Hi there,

    I am using an Alpha version of Mitre's Benchmark Editor and in their tutorials it says to open your tracker via path C:\BDCTools\rt\RTClient.jar

    I could not get this to open..even after updating Java. A message saying "Recommendation Tracker Could not Start"

    I downloaded the newest tracker from your website (following the link on the tutorial) and I can open it, but the tutorial only gives me a test name and password and the new tracker also asks for database host and database name. I am not sure what to put in there or what to do to get tothe next step of being able to "add the new minimum password length rule to the ‘Microsoft Windows XP’ guide" as the tutorial says.

    Could you please help? the goal is to populate the following fields on above guide:
    Title
    Recommendation
    Rationale
    Impact if not followed

    Thank you,

    Ariel K. Stewart

      Ariel,

      If you would like to run the RT you need to download the latest version from here:

      https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=226513

      Simply unzip the latest version to th location of your choice. THen navigate tot eh <RT install directory>/docs/ directory. There you will find "install.README" This will guide you through a full installation of the RT.

      At this point we do not have sample data for the RT in the official installation bundles. We plan to in the near future.

      The CD you have that contains the Benchmark Development Tools in now a bit out of date. The installs on that CD were crafted specifically for the course. If you plan on attending the course on Monday i am happy to help yuo get things running there.

      Let us know if you need additional help.

      Jon

        Alright. I downloaded the latest version but it won't let me open the jar (it gives this message: Could not find the main class: org.mitre.rt.client.core.rtCLIENT. Program will end). and the install README will not open... it brings me to a windows search for program to open the file. What program DO I meed to open the readme docand what am i doing wrong.

        Thanks for all the help and sorry for all the questions!

        Ariel

          In the same directory that your are double clicking the RTCLient.jar file you should find a file named rtclient.log. Can you attach that log file to a response to this posting? 

          If you do not have a log file there you should open a command window and navigate to the directory that contains the RTClient.jar. Then at the command prompt type:

          java -jar RTClient.jar

          Does that get the recommendation tracker started for you? Does it produce an error message? If you have an error message there please paste it into a response to this message.

          You should be able to open the readme with any text editor of your choice. I would try notepad.
