Web application servers can
include an option to force a login. You might have recorded a test
with this option disabled but want to run the test with the option
enabled. Adding an authentication folder to the appropriate test request
lets you do this without recording the test again.
Procedure
To add an authentication folder to a request:
- In the Test Navigator, browse to the test and double-click
it. The test opens.
- Click the request that will contain the authentication
folder.
- Click Add and select Basic
Authentication. A folder named Authentication is
added to the request, and the Test Element Details area displays
the Userid, Password,
and Realm fields.
