Hi Anushri Sharma, Please try the following.
Edit the login script like below, this will invoke the IE browser, I have configured the setup to login to forum, please replace those with your appian instance url along with username and password. Let us know if this is worked.
/* lOGIN TEST*/

!3 Please fill out the following before testing
* If your TESTING_HOME is located somewhere other than ${automated.testing.home}, update the custom.properties file in TESTING_HOME/configs.
          * For more information look at [[Changing ''!-FitNesse-! for Appian'' Installation Location][.FitNesseForAppianDocumentation.ChangeFitNesseForAppianHome]].
* Update the following
          * REPLACE_APPIAN_URL with Appian URL including /suite (ex: forum.appian.com/suite)
          * APPIAN_LOCALE with (en_US or en_GB) to handle differences in how dates are displayed
          * APPIAN_VERSION with (7.10, 7.11, 16.1, or 16.2)
          * REPLACE_USERNAME with username for Appian URL above
