Load testing Sharepoint site - 401 Unauthorized HTTP response code
824563Aug 16 2012 — edited Aug 21 2012Hi,
I am fairly new to scripting load tests and have come across an issue while scripting for Sharepoint logins. I have no problem recording the process (currently have my personal username/password saved - which isn't ideal but I'm attempting some troubleshooting), but when I play it back, I always receive "HTTP response code: 401 Unauthorized". For some reason, on playback, the saved login credentials are not recognized. So, I have a couple questions that I'm hoping someone might be able shed some light on:
1. Is sharepoint testing possible with OATS (via HTTP recording) or is this a lost cause? I feel that the login procedure with a separate window opening up causes issues.
2. Is there an alternate way to pass the login credentials (ie java code)?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
