Hi,

I'm trying to use AB to benchmark a site within a IIS, but I'm having
problems with authentication.

I'm currently using 

ab2 -A domain\user:password url 

but I can't get through the 401 error page.

I've tried some variations:
ab2 -A "domain\user:password" url
ab2 -A domain\user,password url
etc.

When using wget, it works:
wget --http-user="domain\user" --http-passwd="password"  url

The server is IIS with integrated authentication.

Any ideas?

IIS on a client OS (workstation/home/etc) authenticates 10 users and
then surrenders; your ELUA permits only 10 "connections" which MS has
for years interpreted as authenticated clients.
