Trouble With Authenticating a website using HTTPS

Post by johnm »

Would anyone be able to offer assistance to configure URL Test for the following site? I want to use URL Test method to login to this site.

https://account.dyn.com/entrance/

I've tried passing login37_username=myusername&login37_password=mypassword

But it doesn't work.

Wrong variable names used.
This page uses the following HTTP post variables:
username
password
iov_id
multiform
submit
value for multiform variable is unique for each request, value for iov_id is dynamically generated by JavaScript.
Also this authentication scheme uses cookies that are not supported by URL test (HTTP test supports cookies, but it does not support HTTPS).
In other words, you can't parform login to this page using HostMonitor.
