Configuring Security Settings

  1. In Silk Performer, expand the Profiles node in the Project tree.
  2. Right-click the profile that you want to configure and choose Edit Profile.
    Tip: Alternatively, you can choose Settings > Active Profile from the menu bar.

    The Profile - [<profile name>] dialog box opens, and the Replay category is displayed in the shortcut list on the left.

  3. In the shortcut list, click the Internet icon.
  4. Click the Security tab. Use the Protocol area to specify protocol-specific settings used for secure connections to remote servers.
  5. From the SSL version list box, select the Secure Socket Layer protocol version used when establishing a secure connection to the server.
  6. From the Encryption strength list box, select the encryption strength for data transferred to and from the server over a secure connection.
  7. From the Certificate list box in the Client certificate area, select the client certificate that Silk Performer is to present to the Web server on behalf of the actual client. To use a client certificate, you must first export it from the Web browser and place it in Silk Performer's certificate store.
  8. To view detailed information about the client certificate currently in use, click View.
  9. To import a new client certificate from a certificate file (.p12 or .pfx), click Import.
    1. Use the Open Certificate dialog box to navigate to and select the new client certificate.
    2. Click OK.
  10. To remove the currently selected client certificate from the list box, click Remove.
  11. Check the Force secure connection check box to use the Secure Socket Layer protocol for script replay. This is equivalent, for example, to replacing all the HTTP schemes with HTTPS in the URLs of low-level web functions. It can be used to simplify how tests are used to compare performance with and without the use of secure connections.
  12. Click OK to save your settings.
