We have specified user agent strings for Chrome and Safari under Project > Settings > Desired Capabilities > Web UI. When running the scripts on macOS the user agent string viewed in Splunk is not the same string we specified in Katalon. What was specified in Katalon: -User-Agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Wi…

We have specified the following User Agent string in Katalon for Safari: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.5060.114 Safari/537.36 DejaClick [image] We log all activity on our website in Splunk. The activity coming in from my mac …

@abecker , given that Katalon does not have someone who specializes in Splunk so can you provide documentation and the steps for us to reproduce the situation on Splunk? If you are an Enterprise user, you can submit a ticket and get professional support here . Also, in your 1st post, you specified -U…

I did change the user agent string to be Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/103.0.5060.114 Safari/537.36 DejaClick in Katalon Project > Settings > Desired Capabilities > Web UI. The user agent string for the activity hitting the web site …

In Splunk I search for activity from my IP address by using: message.cliIP={my ip address} [image] I look at the message.UA field in Splunk which shows the user agent string for the browser hitting our web site https://uat.famousfootwear.com .. In my case, when I hit https://uat.famousfootwear.c…

@abecker , try following this post , and instead of Katalon Project > Settings > Desired Capabilities > Web UI, configure the user agent in Katalon Project > Settings > Desired Capabilities > Custom and see what happen.

I replaced my user agent setting using the instructions on http://forum.katalon.com/t/adding-user-agent/9318/3 . My Safari browser, when running from Katalon, is not using the agent provided. I removed the user agent string that we had originally setup under Desired Capabilities > Web UI > Safari. …

@abecker , after checking again with Customer Support, we assume this might be Katalon’s problem. If you are an Enterprise user, can you submit a ticket here so we can bring it up to the Product Team about this problem?

Was this issue ever resolved by Katalon, we are having the same problem… in Chrome browser it worked that user agent are being passed on the browser BUT on the other browser we are not seeing it is being passed.
