I am working on creating performance test for an application based on Windows authentication.
Test plan is designed as following :
Test Plan
HTTP Cookie Manager
HTTP Authorization Manager
Thread Group
HTTP Request 1
HTTP Request 2
In the HTTP authorization manager section I have provided the base URL, username, password and selected Mechanism as BASIC_DIGEST.
Now assume that HTTP Request 2 is a file upload scenario.
When the steps were recorded then then the file upload scenario had a Content-Type header which has the value - Multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebkitFormBoundaryxxxxxxxxxx.
Now when I execute the script boundary in the above format is not generated which probably results in script failure. I need to understand what changes I might need to implement in order to generate the Content-Type correctly.
I believe that you should rather remove Content-Type header from the HTTP Header Manager and tick "Use multipart-form/data" box in the HTTP Request sampler:
The fact you're getting HTTP Status 401 means that your configuration of HTTP Authorization Manager is not correct. If you're using your Windows domain credentials for accessing the application your "Mechanism" choice might be wrong as Kerberos is way more popular than NTLM so inspect network tab of your browser developer tools and see what are WWW-Authenticate and Authorization header value, this way you can guess what mechanism is being used exactly and properly configure the HTTP Authorization Manager

My team planned to do API Performance Testing using JMeter 5.0 for my client. My client developed the API in Kubernetes. Just wondering, they gave info such as URI, HTTP Method and Content-Type only. We never have experience using URI. Are these info sufficient to do load test in JMeter? And where do I fill in these info? Is it in Config Element: HTTP Header Manager?
Because usually I only do my enablement using sample website which already provide the URL.
Do I need to ask them to provide the specific URL for this? Or URL can be extracted from URI?
Thanks.
Normally you should put:
Protocol, server name or IP and Port Number into HTTP Request Defaults, this way you will have a single configuration element having these details and in case of change you will need to introduce the change at one place only and won't have to revisit each and every HTTP Request sampler
Individual requests are defined using individual HTTP Request samplers where you need to provide URL Path and request body (if any)
Content-Type and other Headers can be provided via HTTP Header Manager, the same Scoping Rules as for HTTP Request Defaults apply, for example if you want to send application/json for all the requests just add HTTP Header Manager on the top of your Test Plan and it will add the header to all HTTP Request samplers which are at the same level as the HTTP Header Manager or lower.
I am doing a testing
I have setup an HTTP Authorization Manager to manage my Basic Browser Authentication. This is declared before my HTTP request - making each HTTP request header contains
Authorization: SOMETHING sOmeGibber1SHCOdes...
As some point in my testing, I need to add a new entry in the Authorization header. So I created an HTTP header Manager and added something like:
Authorization: somethingElse #n0therGibber15hC0de...
and this overrides my existing header setup by my HTTP Authorization Manager
Question:
If I need both Authorization header - is there a workaround?
Additional info:
I tried extracting the values using regext extractor and concatenate the strings in the HTTP Header manager... does't seem to work. I think simply copying the header created by HTTP Authorization manager and putting it directly to the HTTP Header Manager is not being recognized as an authentication by jmeter.
Please be informed about JMeter Scoping Rules concept
If HTTP Authorization Manager lives at the same level with the HTTP Request samplers - it will be applied to all of them
If HTTP Authorization Manager (or HTTP Header Manager) is added as a child of a particular HTTP Request sampler - it will be applied to this sampler only
So you can "override" the "global" Authorization header value by adding a HTTP Header Manager as a child of the particular request and defining the header there:
I am sending a HTTPS request which needs a Bearer token. I have added a Header Manager to my HTTP request in JMeter and defined NAMEand VALUE in the Header Manager as Authorization and "Bearer xxxxyxyxyxz" respectively.
The request is running for 21 seconds each time and then its failed with below text
org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to abcd.uat.xyz.com:443 [abcd.uat.xyz.com/11.222.250.10] failed: Connection timed out: connect.
Am I sending the bearer token in right way with Header Manager or is there some other way to send this kind of requests?
Note: Its(The same request and Bearer token) working perfectly in Postman and I am getting the correct response as well.
The issue is resolved after adding Proxy Server details to the request. I have added those in Advanced section of HTTP request.
In Postman, the tool using default system proxy settings, hence working without any issues but when it comes to Jmeter we need to add Proxy Server details explicitly.
Based on the exception it seems, you are trying to access HTTP server with HTTPS request.
Make sure to confirm whether "abcd.uat.xyz.com:443" support https or not..If not simply make your request HTTP by updating Protocol field.
Im using Jmeter to write some load tests on an API secured by oAuth.
I want to be able to reuse the header manager once the bearer token has been produced from the access token call.
However when I try to move the header manager out side of the http request the call is no longer authorised. I think its because it can no longer get the bearer token.
For Post Request, when i put the header manager outside it no longer works, it only works when I put it under the request as I have done for User get request, Delete request and Put request.
How do I make the header manager reusable and therefore only manage one header manager?
Thank you.

My expectation is that this is due to clash with the HTTP Authorization Manager
Both are Configuration Elements and both obey JMeter Scoping rules
When you move HTTP Header Manager outside the HTTP Request sampler it might be the case that Authorization Header comes from the HTTP Authorization Manager
You can check which exact header value is being sent using Request -> Request Headers tab of the View Results Tree listener
Given you manually create Authorization header for your request I believe if you disable or delete the HTTP Authorization Manager your test should start working as expected as you basically don't need it.
I have a http request that auto generates '_token' value with the request(this value generated under http request only, not in the response of this request) and this '_token' value needs to be passed to the next http request header as 'authorization'. I know we can use JSON/RegEx post processor if it is in Response of the first http request. However how it be be correlated if the dynamic value is in http request.
Please suggest how can we achieve this in jmeter.
Most likely you are trying to load test an application which uses OAuth and depending on OAuth version and your application setup there could be different options. If the token is permanent - you can just put it into HTTP Header Manager, however if the token expires more or less frequently - you will need to implement OAuth flow using JMeter (in some cases you will need some extras like scripting, kick off browser to open a redirect URL or use OAuth client libraries). Check out How to Run Performance Tests on OAuth Secured Apps with JMeter article for details.
I would suggest contacting your application developers to learn about OAuth version, settings, required client id/secret, etc.
