HTTP Form Login is incapable of performing a basic log in function by today's standard. You can do a very basic log in but most web sites have moved past these fundamentals. We have hundreds of web site monitors that need to be migrated from our current solution to SAM. SAM is where I would like to put them and quite honestly were they belong. The monitors require only that they log in and match content. Our current tool has performed this flawlessly for the past 8 years with minimal config. After several tickets we have confirmed [with the help of SW staff] that the HTTP Form Login template is not capable of doing anything beyond a primitive log in.
We have been told time and time again that the solution for this is SEUM. Even though we own an unlimited license for SEUM I find this to be disappointing at minimum. One, SEUM is absolute overkill for this type of monitor. We think that placing these monitors in SEUM is wasting resources on multiple levels. Two, if I was a customer of yours and only owned SAM it would shock me that you guys don't have a canned [beyond basic] HTTP Login monitor. Here is the last case we had open regarding this monitor type , 367532 - HTTP Form Login inconsistencies. Thanks for any consideration.
