Hello Maria,

you have to databind the test first. Otherwise the necessary field won't even appear when you're examining the separate HTTP requests (screenshot 1).

From there you have to go through the HTTP requests that make up the test and find where the user/pass are being sent. It can be difficult to find them if your test has lots of request. Try recording the Login sequence only so that there are fewer requests to go through (again remember to databind it first). Also, the user/pass queries will not necessarily be called "username" and "password".

I hope this help. Let me know how it goes.

Hi Maria,
you might have to go through some tedious exploration until you find what you're looking for.

I recorded a login Load test against our website (www.telerik.com). I found the request that sends the user/password but it took some digging. I started out at the first transaction and went through no fewer than 58 requests until I got to the one I was looking for. And it was far from obvious that it was the right one:
http://screencast.com/t/Db0DtHiN5

You state:

I don't see the user name and password fields in "Bind Unique User Info" section.

But as you can see from my example - those are not always easy to find. As you can see in my example - the words "user" and "password" are in there but they're buried in a larger string. So it comes down to knowing your app and searching. I hope this helps.

I will talk to our engineers and discuss some sort of search functionality. You usecase got me thinking that this is going to be a useful edition.

Let me know if you need additional assistance.

All the best,
Stoich

Hi Boyan,
I'm sorry being a bit slow with the response. Yes, that correct. Our .Net site is using third-party component for user authentication.
Please see attached steps of our load testing script.
1. User is redirected to auth page where after form POST is peformed he gets a sessionId in redirect URL as a parameter
2. Then sessionId is processed by another service which is returning some cookies with another sessionId
3. User is redirected to the main website where those cookies are being check for validness.

Please see attached pictures of the load test.

So are we going to have dynamic cookie support in R2? This is REALLY important for us.

Hello Wayne,

A Test Studio Load Test will accept and process cookies just like a real browser. It does not blindly echo back the cookie value that was originally recorded when the user profile was first created. The sequence you have shown in your screen shots should work perfectly find as expected.

Are you experiencing any problems with this authentication process while running your load test? If so we'll need details about this including complete Fiddler traces demonstrating the problem. I recommend you open a support ticket so we can communicate confidentially about the details of the problem. Unlike forum posts, only you and us in technical support can view the content of support tickets.
