  1. Set up the remote Docker host system. See Setting up a remote Docker host system or Setting up a secure remote Docker host system.
  2. Registered the remote Docker host with HCL OneTest Server. See Registering a remote Docker host with HCL OneTest Server.

      Note: You must have generated the .pem files on the remote host system and copied the files to your local drive.
    • To change from a secure mode to a non-secure mode, clear the Secure mode option.
  6. Click Test connection to test whether a connection is established between HCL OneTest Server and the remote host system:
