Issue with Jmeter while using a proxy server authentication using http requests - proxy

I am trying to send the http request using our proxy server (hitting requests to access some content that should go through our proxy server) through JMeter for which I'm using HTTP Recording Controller, but I'm unable to get the response code 200
I have tried the test script recorder in Jmeter, but couldn't get a proper response code(200)

If you're trying to record the test script and your organization is using a proxy server which is required to access the system under test - you need to make JMeter aware of this proxy server by either providing proxy details as command-line arguments:
jmeter -H your-proxy-host -P your-proxy-port -u username -a password
or via corresponding JMeter system properties
http.proxyHost=your-proxy-host
http.proxyPort=your-proxy-port
https.proxyHost=your-proxy-host
https.proxyPort=your-proxy-port
additionally you might need to specify http.proxyDomain property in case of domain authentication

How to bypass proxy for JMeter recording?

I am not able to record the JMeter script because the Organization's proxy settings in the browsers blocking the JMeter to record the network calls. I am not allowed to change the Organizations default proxy settings in the browsers.
How can I bypass this proxy settings and record the JMeter script?
Also when I manually add the API calls in the JMeter and execute, it gives me the response of Organizations default proxy html message page. I added the Organizations proxy details in the Http request Proxy Server tab which is also failing.
You can use a browser which have its own proxy configuration like Firefox, a fresh installation should not be impacted with your organization policies. Alternatively if you're allowed to install browser extensions you can use i.e. JMeter Chrome Extension. And finally it's possible to export recorded requests from the "Network" tab of your browser developer tools in form of .HAR file and convert this file into a JMeter test script using BlazeMeter Converter
In order to replay the requests via proxy you need to configure JMeter to use this proxy, see Using JMeter behind a proxy for detailed instructions, the easiest way is providing proxy details via command-line arguments like:
jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password

How to manage Proxy in Jmeter

I have to do performance test of a web based application through Jmeter. To connect to the application , I have to be in Client VPN and it has specific proxy to connect. The application will NOT work in Local host..
How to perform this? I tried by running Jmeter from command prompt . Please help .
You can configure JMeter to use proxy in 2 ways:
Command-line
jmeter -H your_proxy_host -P your_proxy_port
Using system.properties (the file lives under "bin" folder of your JMeter installation, add the next lines to it:
http.proxyHost=your_proxy_host
http.proxyPort=your_proxy_port
https.proxyHost=your_proxy_host
https.proxyPort=your_proxy_port
JMeter restart will be required to pick the properties up.
First check that you have the correct proxy parameters like Proxy Server IP/address,port no,username and password.
Then, in the first HTTP Request, click on advanced tab and there you find Proxy server section.
Fill the required information and run the jmeter. Based on the response you can judge where you are able to send the request via proxy or not.
I have used it with proxy server name with username and pwd. For me it worked, by that I means you can try by whatever information you have.
Then, you can set the properties permanently as suggested by Dmitri. Also, it can be set in HTTP Request Default Config.

I am trying to record an application on the intranet using Jmeter, but i keep getting DNS failure message

I am trying to record my application under test which is on the intranet using the Jmeter recording controller. It manages to capture the URL but then starts showing DNS failure and response code 503.There seems to be some authorization issue. Any ideas on how I can provide authorization details (username/password) at the time of recording ?
For application authorization you can try adding HTTP Authorization Manager, it should be able to deal with at least Basic HTTP Authentication
For proxy authorization (if your machine is using proxy for intranet/internet access) you can specify username and password via -u and -a command-line arguments correspondingly like
jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password -N localhost
HTTP 503 status code indicates that a server is temporarily unable to handle the request.
So it would be a temporary failure of one of the intermediate components between JMeter and the server:
DNS Server
Proxy
Firewall
Load Balancer
Web server (Apache HTTP, Nginx, NodeJS...)
Application Server (J2EE, PHP, ASP servers)
An authentication error related to proxy would trigger a 4XX response code.
Checks the logs of each of the intermediate components , if you don't reproduce issue when using browser then have a look at:

Jmeter Recording using company proxy

I am facing proxy problems (no issue with certificate unidentification found yet) as working on client company proxy. Can you explain what are the things are required to make the proxy with JMeter.
I have the following error:
"java.net.UnknownHostException: jmeter.apache.org" in jmeter request response and Authentication error 401 in firefox.
enter image description here
How are you opening Jmeter? If you are accessing the application using company proxy, you need to launch JMeter throguh proxy as below:
Jmeter -H your proxy -P Port -u username -a password.

using JMeter proxy recorder behind company proxy with SSL manager

Hi I am facing following issue when try to use JMeter proxy recorder behind company proxy
There are two environments one is not using company proxy(QA env) other is using company proxy(UAT env)
Also both sites are using client side certificate to identify user(saml2).
When recording in the QA environment I only need to use ssl manager and when I start the jmeter proxy jmeter will ask for browser certificate password. After providing that I can successfully record the requests.
But when access the UAT env directly I have to set the browser proxy setting (webprox.corp.net and port 2212)
So to record the same application I started JMeter using following command
jmeter.bat -H webprox.corp.net -P 2212
also set the browser proxy settings to localhost and 8080(same as jmeter proxy server settings)
Jmetr recording start fine and requests are captured but it does not evaluate the browser certificate which is loaded in SSL manager. Therefore I am unable to recorded correct scenario as connection says not authorized due to browser certificate unidentification.
Any suggestions on this pls
I have found out the solution for above issue
As stated we can start the JMeter using jmeter.bat -H webprox.corp.net -P 2212 -N localhost (you can use other parameters as required like username and password for the proxy)
Load the valid browser side certificate(not the JMeter root CA) in to the SSL manager(Assume you are not loading certificates from java Keystore)
The main point I have missed was the value in JMter Work Bench > HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder > HTTP Sampler Setting > Type
Had to use Java implementation as Type (or you can change the value and check)
After completing above configurations I have successfully recorded the script from behind the cooperate proxy.
