## You can get the values for this from the Controller Admin Console > Controller Settings

privateClient:

    eumAccount: "<eum_account>"
    licenseKey: "<license_key>"

Configure browser proxy settings

At a clients you will probably need to login as the user which runs the agent and configure the proxy settings in each browser. In the advanced proxy settings you will also need to add exceptions so that the proxy ignores localhost and 127.0.0.1. If you don't do this jobs will fail.

In synthetic.yml you can remove the sudo line at the start of the file and run the selenium server as the logged in user.
