Remote connection settings

To enable remote computers to run tests on the OpenText Functional Testing for Developers computer, you can configure the runtime engine connection configuration file, config.json, located in <Installdir>\lwe\lightweight\config.

You can configure the runtime engine connection settings using one of the following strategies:

  1. Local Only: The runtime engine accepts connections from the local computer only.

  2. Allow All Remote Connections: The runtime engine accepts connections from any computer.

    Note: Enabling this configuration can present a security risk, as it allows the remote computer full access to the OpenText Functional Testing for Developers computer.

  3. Allow Secure Remote Connections: The runtime engine accepts connections from a remote computer, using the WSS protocol to protect the data that is transferred between the Automation SDK/IDE tool and the runtime engine.

    4. Note: You need to configure additional settings to enable this mode. For details, see the topic about running tests remotely in the OpenText Functional Testing for Developers Help Center.
