Re: Help with authentication

Hi,

Welcome to the Grinder community.

Some recommendations:

Step 1)

I highly recommend you try configuring your browser to use an HTTP
debugging proxy.  Run the test case manually through the browser, observe
and inspect the traffic that shows up.  It is possible that Grinder is not
recording the required authentication tokens.

Step 2)

Run your script, though it is failing and compare the manual request in the
HTTP debugging proxy to the one your script generated.  I am sure you'll
find the issue, likely just a header or something similar.

HTH,

Ouray
