Pass username and password in URL

Products

• CA App Synthetic Monitor

Issue/Introduction

How can we use the redacted variables on the Advanced tab to pass a password to a URL login?

Example:

URL:
https://mysite.com.com/other/check/security_check?username=(username)&password={password}

Preferable in a Full-Page monitor.

We like screenshot so I would rather not do this in JMeter.  Or, deal with the cost of using a Web Driver license. 

Environment

Release : ASM

Component :

Resolution

This is not possible in Full-Page monitor. You need to use either JMeter or Webdriver. 

Please note: Sending a password as a part of the URL is a serious security issue. See https://owasp.org/www-community/vulnerabilities/Information_exposure_through_query_strings_in_url
