Hi We are getting below error on accessing one of the applications hosted in the test environments:
You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied because your Web browser is sending a WWW-Authenticate header field that the Web server is not configured to accept.
Please try the following:
Contact the Web site administrator if you believe you should be able to view this directory or page.
Click the Refresh button to try again with different credentials.
HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to server configuration.

1.) Is this one of the Sahi limitations regarding 401 becuase of which we are getting this message.
2.) Other can we change the mode of authentication for this site, if yes then what change is needed to be done.

Here's a workaround for 401 Authentication... you'll need to chain proxies
1. Download and install CCProxy. Get it here: http://www.youngzsoft.net/ccproxy/
2. Point CCProxy to your corporate proxy and set CCProxy to send the authentication information.
3. Modify Sahi\config\sahi.properties to point to CCProxy
4. Point your browser to point to Sahi as usual.
Try it out and let us know how it works.
