Sign in to Leapwork Performance

Before you can use Performance, there are 3 steps that must be completed before you can get started. You need to:

1. Import and authorize a certificate

2. Check that you can log on to Performance successfully

3. Download and configure a browser proxy extension

Enterprise Login (SSO) Support

We support enterprise login (Single Sign-On) via Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and Google Workspace. This allows your users to securely access the platform using your organization’s existing identity provider.

If your organization uses a different SSO provider, we may still be able to support your setup. Please reach out to your Leapwork Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Leapwork Support to discuss your requirements.

Step 1: Import and authorize a certificate

A certificate must be installed on your machine to access Performance. During Early Access, this certificate is signed by Leapwork. Note that, once Performance is launched in the market, this certificate must be replaced by one signed by your organization.

The required certificate can be downloaded from your user profile within Leapwork Performance. This ensures you always use the latest version.

Go to the download location, locate the downloaded file Rush-Certificate

Type Win+S and enter certmgr.msc:

Locate the Certificates folder as above, then right-click on it:

Choose All Tasks > Import and click Import:

Click Next:

Click Browse to locate and choose the downloaded certificate file, then click Next:

Click Next:

Click Finish. The import will start and prompt for permission; click Yes:

Once successful, the following prompt is shown:

Now, navigate to Trusted Root Certification Authorities > Certificates: Leapwork Performance should be visible similar to below:

Step 2: Log on to Performance

Now go to Leapwork Performance and try to login

Login is via SSO. If you have the required user privileges on your machine, the window below will show. Click Accept and you should be logged in to Performance.

Error: “Email does not match any enterprise directory”

In the event, that your user account is restricted you may see the window below instead:

Once successfully logged in, locate your avatar in the top right corner, and click on it:

Click on the string, as shown in the above image (Note: The string is unique for each user, so your will not have the same value as the one shown) - this copies the string for later. Note: You can always come back and copy this string again. The string will be needed for the final step, setting up the proxy.

Troubleshooting: Microsoft Entra SSO consent (User.Read)

In this case, you are unable to proceed. Leapwork Performance requires permission to sign in and read your user profile (User.Read), which normally does not require admin consent.
However, your organization’s security policy may prevent users from granting consent to any application even for standard permissions like this one.
If you see this message, please contact your Security or IT team to review the requested permissions and grant admin consent for the application on behalf of the organization.

Step 3: Download and configure a browser proxy extension

Leapwork Performance uses a proxy to capture all network traffic during recording.
We recommend using the SmartProxy Chrome extension:

You may use other proxy extensions, but the steps below are specific to SmartProxy.

Install and pin the extension

1. Install SmartProxy from the Chrome Web Store.

2. Click the Extensions (puzzle icon) in Chrome.

3. Locate SmartProxy and click the pin icon so it is always visible.

Open SmartProxy settings

1. Click the SmartProxy icon in the Chrome toolbar.

2. Click the Settings (gear icon).

Add the Leapwork proxy server

1. In the left sidebar, click Proxy Servers (or Proxies).

2. Click Add.

Enter the following details:

• Name: Performance (or any preferred name)

• Protocol: HTTP

• Host / Domain: perfrecorder.leapwork.ai

• Port: 8080

• Username: Leave blank (or enter a dummy value such as leapwork if required by the extension)

• Password: Paste your Leapwork Performance token

3. Click Save

Enable proxy usage (required)

After adding the proxy, you must enable it. Simply adding the proxy is not sufficient.

Recommended method (quick setup)

1. Open the web application you want to record.

2. Click the SmartProxy icon.

3. Under Enable proxy on this domain, select the domain.
   

   

This automatically creates a rule and activates the proxy for that site.

Enable SmartProxy during recording

Before recording:

1. Click the SmartProxy icon.

2. Ensure SmartProxy is enabled.
