I am running version 4.5.6100 I have a test where I am using a .csv list of usernames and passwords for the Authentication source. This is working out well. My test case consists of visiting a web page with a form on it, filling in the form, and submitting the form.
What I wish to do is to use the authenticated username for one of the form field values.
I am looking at http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc45/Programming+Scriptable+Variables as a possible solution, but did not see within there how to access the authenticated username.
Or, is there a built-in means of accessing the authenticated username?

Hello Alan,
It looks like you need every VU to use its username for authentication and then again as a form entry. You do not need to use scriptable variables and programming for that because using parameterization is easier.
Do you use server authentication or web form authentcation as described here http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc45/_Authentication
If you use the server authentication then I suggest the following. Create a dataset called Users containing one field username. Load this dataset with the usernames from your csv file keeping their order. In the form request, find the username field you wish to parameterize and create a VU-Bound parameter to the Credentials.username field. Creating parameters is described here http://support.stresstimulus.com/display/doc45/Manual+Parameterization
If you use the form authentication then you already have a dataset. Use it the same way ay I described above.
Does this make sense?
Cheers,
Max

That does make sense. Being a fairly new user, I found the many options with datasets a bit confusing. I will use the VU-Bound parameter for those fields. Thank you.
