Hi Sanjit, First off, ChannelSet#login and ChannelSet#logout are the preferred ways of authenticating with BlazeDS/LCDS. Producer/Consumer/RemoteObject#setCredentials would work but the problem with setCredentials method is that it doesn't return an AsyncToken and hence you can't listen for success/failure. Also, setCredentials method does not send the credentials to the server until the Channel is connected, it simply caches them and sends them along with the connect request. The problem is if there's a failure as the Channel connects (eg. RemoteObject method doesn't exist) and an authentication failure too (eg. wrong credentials), then distinguishing between the RemoteObject failure with the authentication failure becomes difficult. So, that's why you should use ChannelSet#login/logout before doing anything else, and once the authentication is successful, go ahead with what you need to do. BlazeDS source tree has an example of this here:

By default, the LCDS Edge Server requires that clients are authenticated at the edge tier before the request is forwarded to the backing LCDS app. This is for security purposes but the good news is that for testing purposes, there's a switch called "require-authentication" which is set to true by default and you can set that to false under GatewayService configuration: <service id="test-gateway" class="flex.messaging.services.GatewayService"> <properties> <gateway-endpoint> <require-authentication>false</require-authentication> ... That basically disables the requirement that clients are authenticated at the edge tier. This should enable you to test your Edge+LCDS app without needing to add authentication stuff in the load-testing-tool.
