Configuring Silk Central Integration

In the Silk Performer menu, click Settings > System . The System Settings display.

Click the Silk Central tab.

In the URL field, specify the URL of the host on which Silk Central's front-end server is running. Make sure to specify the full URL including the port and the Silk Central instance.

Click Use credentials and type valid credentials for Silk Central in the fields Username and Password.

Alternatively, click Use token and type or paste the web-service token into the field. To obtain the web-service token, login to Silk Central and open the User Settings. Here you can also regenerate and delete the token.

Note: A web-service token is similar to a password and should be protected as such. The token-based authentication offers increased security and convenience, because your Silk Central credentials will not be distributed outside Silk Central and the authentication will not break due to password update policies.

Click Test Connection to verify the URL and the credentials or the token.

Click OK. These are now the default settings for all tasks that require a connection to Silk Central, which includes opening projects from Silk Central, importing projects from Silk Central, and uploading projects to Silk Central.
