Hi Menty666 and Mari--

To the best of my knowledge, if you enter the trusted uri's, there is nowhere to pt credentials in. My guess at this point is that it will use the credentials of the logged in user when opening the browser window.

Mari, I am glad to hear that something worked for you.

Well, it seems that with that method, the http://user:password@server:port/something/... method works!

Thanks a lot, everything works just fine here for me now!

Hi Jussi--

I *think* that if I fought hard enough, I could *probably* get it arranged to have it turned off at my current place. However, after reading about other people struggling with this issue, I felt it was worth treating as if it's not possible :)

I'd love to hear more about how these auths work. Are there different types of Windows Integrated auth -- ones that use AD, and ones that don't? How do they work? Can we work around them as test automators?

Hmm, to me that authentication method just doesn't...

Hmm, to me that authentication method just doesn't sound testable. I might raise an issue (that might get outright rejected) that a more testable auth method would be preferred.

Of course, if the auth relies on Active Directory then you are just out of lck ;-)
