Multiple users proxy auth with Avalanche
Hello :),
I need an hint with Avalanche configuration. I'm creating a basic HTTP test that requires Proxy authentication. I was able to configure it by relying on Avalanche settings in the Client->Profile.
Under HTTP:User I enabled Proxy authentication and user/pwd
Under Proxy, I enabled proxy usage plus "Enable Persistence" and "Enable Proxy headers".
My test is working but I need to use different user credential in my test (~2500) and I found no option to load a file containing the username/pwd. I tried also to do authentication directly from the action list by using:
1 get http://1.1.1.1 <PROXY AUTH: BASIC USER=myUser PASSWD=myPwd>
as in this way I would be able to load a file containing user credentials...but this is not working at all (even if the traces look the same)!
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!
Alberto

Hi @acappadonia, proxy auth should work with the use of a formDB.
- Make sure you still select "Proxy Authentication" and "Force Proxy Authentication" under Client > Profiles > HTTP:User tab (while leaving the username and password empty there.)
- Action syntax should use the FormDB such as:
1 get http://www.spirent.com
(where proxyDB form contains username and password separated by comma.)
Hi
Please take a look at Forms DB as this is exactly what you need to build variables that contain usernames and passwords . @acappadonia
As said in my post, Forms DB are not available for authentication under HTTP:User! and authentication by relying on action list (where forms DB are available) is not working in my case and I'm still debugging it... @bgraham
