# Providing authentication information for multi-protocol scripts

When recording a web session that uses NTLM authentication, your server may require you to enter details such as a user name and password.

## Generating a web_set_user function

When performing NTLM authentication, a web_set_user function is added to the script.

- If authentication succeeds, VuGen generates a web_set_user function with your user name, masked password, and host.

      web_set_user("domain1\\dashwood",
                lr_unmask("4042e3e7c8bbbcfde0f737f91f"),
               "sussex:8080");

- If you cancel the Web Recorder NTLM Authentication dialog box without entering information, VuGen generates a web_set_user function for you to edit manually.

      web_set_user("domain1\\dashwood,
              "Enter NTLM Password Here",
              "sussex:8080");

  If you enter a password manually, it appears in the script as-is, presenting a security issue.

  To mask a password:

  Right-click the password and select Mask String. VuGen masks the string and generates an lr_unmask function, used to decode the password during replay. For more information about masking strings, see Encode passwords and text.
