Authentication Error with Load Runner.

I am the one who installed Load Runner and the test team using the product have run across authentication errors. I am of the opinion it has something to do with theMicrosoft Distributed Password Authentication (DPA).

I hid the name of the server, but here is the error the Virtual User Script threw:

Action.c(66): Error -26547: Authentication required, please use web_set_user, e.g.
web_set_user("domain\\user", "password", "host:port");      [MsgId: MERR-26547]
Action.c(66): Warning -26630: HTTP Status-Code=401 (Unauthorized) for
"http://servername.domain.local:8000/OA_HTML/RF.jsp?function_id=MAINMENUREST&
security_group_id=0"      [MsgId: MWAR-26630]

I have also included a screen shot showing a security banner that keeps on popping up when the script is run.

After scrubbing the server name, I have included the script as well in a pdf document.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Respectfully,

James
