BrowserSetAuthentication Function

Action

Sets username and password for a subsequent authentication attempt. Usually the username and password must be typed into an authentication dialog for authentication purposes. This function stores both strings temporarily so that they can be used for authentication with the following API call. The password string is never visible in the replay pane of the browser application nor shown by TrueLog Explorer.

Note: This function only works with Internet Explorer.
