Hi Raj,

 

 

Can you change the send string to include the domain\ as part of the base64 encoded user:pass and remove the username and password field values from the monitor definition?

 

 

Send string:

 

 

GET /testpage.asp HTTP/1.0\r\nAuthorization: Basic RE9NQUlOXHRlc3R1c2VyOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA==\r\n\r\n

 

 

where RE9NQUlOXHRlc3R1c2VyOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA== is the base64 encoding of DOMAIN\testuser:testpassword

 

 

Also, here is a solution related to the \r\n's at the end of the send string:
