windows authenication popup

We are trying to monitor a Cisco CIS Cluster.

The test records fine, we are able to authenicate, login to the main page and log out.

But immediately afterwards, on playback, it fails with a authenication error.

When trying to record a test for solarwinds we get a “Windows Security” popup.

We can get past that by putting in working credentials, when we do that, we get the normal login.

BUT, after recording the test and then attempting to play it back,  we get an ‘unauthorized’.

Any ideas? 

This is what I see in the recorder logs:

  • I found for most of WPM when dealing with "pop-ups" you have to be careful in explaining if its the browser presenting the popup or the recorder. With that I learned when using cert based authentication, when presented with the WPM recorder authentication "cert selection pop-up", I'd still have to wait for the Windows popup to finish loading. From what Support and the Developers said, if memory servers it has to do with WPM interaction with the browser cert store.

    Additionally did you make sure to uncheck "Enable Integrated Windows Authentication" in IE?

  • Same issue encountered... and alrady unchecked this setting "Enable Integrated Windows Authentication"
