Configuring the Open Agent to Run Remotely in a NAT Environment

To remotely run the Open Agent in a network address translation (NAT) environment, for example a virtual machine (VM), configure the agent to include a VM argument.
  1. Navigate to the agent.properties.sample file and open it. By default, this file is located at: %APPDATA%\Silk\SilkTest\conf, which is typically C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application Data\Silk\SilkTest\conf.
  2. Add the following property:
    java.rmi.server.hostname=<external IP of VM>
    
  3. Save the file as agent.properties .
