I think you are confusing the User Parameter config element and the HTTP User
Parameter
Modifier. The former is only available in the latest nightlies. To use the Modifier
(which uses
the users.xml file), your HTTP Request needs to use the same parameter name as in the
file.
The value of the parameter will be replaced, so it doesn't matter what you put there.
So, if your parameter's are called "user_id" and "password" in the xml file, then your
HTTP
Request needs to have parameters such as
Name Value
user_id *
password *
Make sense?
Now, having said all that, the newer User Parameter config element (only available in
the
nightlies, but have no fear, the nightlies are in all ways an improvement on 1.7.3) is
easier to
use and more powerful. It allows you to set up values, such as ${user_id} that you
can then
use as you tried to do.
Read about them:

er_Modifier (Hmmm, this one could use some more detail I see)
and
