Note: For replay, use browser authentication settings if you want all virtual users to login using the same credentials. If you
want each virtual user to connect with different login credentials, specify the credentials using project attributes. See
Project Attributes in the BDL Function Reference for detailed information or use script customization with data files.
Note: By default, the
Silk Performer Recorder acts as a blind proxy and forwards the authentication data that was generated by the browser to the server. If the
browser is missing the correct authentication information, it can prompt the user for it, also during recording. This default
behavior causes no additional overhead for the Recorder. However, the default behavior does not work if the server requires
channel binding (also known as
extended protection on IIS servers). In such a case, enable
Generate new user authentication token in recorder. The Recorder will then replace the authentication data that was generated by the browser using the credentials specified
below the check box. However, be aware of the following facts: (1) User name and password have to be configured before the
recording is started. (2) This mode causes additional overhead for the Recorder. (3) When the browser prompts you for credentials,
the credentials you enter are ignored, because the Recorder automatically replaces these with the credentials defined in the
settings. Make sure to click
OK (not
Cancel) to close the prompt.
