I was making a request through my browser console to my MS Dynamics instance to retrieve some information. I downloaded the network request made and converted it into a curl request. Then, imported that curl request into postman and made a GET request. I got the same results in both cases. But, in the request, there is a parameter called "CrmOwinAuth".
I want to get the value of this parameter. I made another POST request to get my access token of MS Dynamics and compared the value of it with this "CrmOwinAuth" but, they were different.
Can anyone please tell me how can I get the value of this CrmOwinAuth? I need this value to make my curl request for some other user and retrieve its information from ms dynamics.

Is there any way to get the response body in Azure Logic App even when we get 500 Internal Server Error?
I have made the Logic App in a way that I'm setting the response code to 500 on an issue, and I'm adding some error related information in the response body. I tried returning 504 Gateway timeout as well, in case of a timeout issue I could face, but I'm always receiving a null response body in case of non-200 response codes.
If we are not able to see the response body in case of an error by design, is there a better way to set and fetch error related information from the response object?
Yes you can get the response body in Azure Logic App by adding the response action. According to this Add a Response action section of the Microsoft document.
When you use the Request trigger to handle inbound requests, you can model the response and send the payload results back to the caller by using the built-in Response action.
Following steps would help you to get the response body.
In the Logic App Designer, under the step where you want to add a Response action, select New step.
The under Choose an action, in the search box, enter response as your filter, and select the Response action.
Now add any values that are required for the response message. For the Body, you can select the trigger body output from the dynamic content list.
I would suggest to read the Receive and respond to inbound HTTPS requests in Azure Logic Apps document for more information.
Alternatively you can also create alerts whenever HTTP 500 errors occur in your App and use Application Insights to view it using Azure Monitor. I would also suggest to read this Handle errors and exceptions in Azure Logic Apps Microsoft document for more information.
I am developing a simple website using MEAN stack that gives a logged-in user a task to complete and sends a score to the backend corresponding to their performance on that task. User can skip to next task in which case no score is sent. Problem is: How can I differentiate between a user cheating and sending score via a POST request on POSTMAN (by changing POST values to increase score) and a POST request created by my frontend code. How to work around this problem?
Welcome to Stackoverflow, to check if the request is made by POSTMAN (so locally) or by your backend (called by your front end) you just have to check if the request IP is your server or not.
This is a WhiteList solution
MEAN Stack use NodeJS, so you can use :
request.connection.remoteAddress
EDIT :
You can put a special parameter in your header when send a request with your front OR your Postman, and you check it when you receive it
I setup a GET scripted rest API. However, when I try to send a GET request with a body, ServiceNow (before it hits my code) complains that GET is not allowed to have a body.
Is there a way to disable this restriction? For now as a temporary workaround, I converted the request into a POST. However, this request does not change any state, so I believe it should be a GET. The request only searches for existing items.
GET is used without body, any configuration of a GET is in the URL and header. A query URL looks like this:
https://instance.service-now.com/api/now/table/problem?sysparm_query=active=true^ORDERBYnumber^ORDERBYDESCcategory&sysparm_limit=1
See the documentation here:
https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/rest_api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_TableAPI-GET
Generally it's OK to use a POST to get data, graphQL does this for example, but i think SNOW is configured for GETs only.
I want to do performance testing of my site which uses the Azure AD authentication. In order to login to the site 3 requests are called.
in first request the clientid is passed
in the second request in the URL it is creating one parameter 'tx' and it has some value. Rest it creates the csrf token which I am extracting successfully.
But I am facing problem in extracting the value of 'tx'
I am checking the value in the previous requests response but I am not able to find it. Is there anything that I am missing? I checked it on Fidler too somehow I am not getting the value of the tx.
I would suggest that you perform the login action in Chrome (say) with Developer Tools > Network open - and on the second request (sending 'tx') get the value that is sent by the browser, then search for that value in the previous response - and find how that is represented as parameters in the downloaded data.
I had a similar requirement and ended up Writing PostProcessor (to extract a value and save in a variable) and PreProcessor (to inject the variable value into the posted parameter) - you may need to process HTML, javascript or embedded JSON in the initial response.
The fact is that (more-and-more) Web Applications are embedding functionality in client-side javascript and you need to set JMeter up to emulate this.
In my script, I'm using a JSESSIONID instead of a cookie; the JSESSIONID is extracted using a HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier and I can confirm that the correct value (the one which appears in the response data from the login page) is being applied in the Request.
e.g. POST https://qa67.ososinfo.org:446/Staff/staffdetail.xhtml;JSESSIONID=0655ca5420354753ae413984d34cfc27
I'm also using a VIEWSTATE, which I'm extracting prior to running the remainder of the test steps by using a Regular Expression Extractor and setting the resulting variable as a parameter in the HTTP Request,
e.g. javax.faces.ViewState=8d2%2BgOIseczB2FWSo74DqQfkmiYVaK73D8bnLTNWCx%2FB8EtE
The problem is that I'm hitting a Response code: 500 | Response message: Internal Server Error every time I attempt a post with all of the applicable data.
I tried running through the steps manually in a Firefox browser. I copied the contents of the Request tab from the failing page into a REST client, logged in using a separate tab of the same browser and grabbed the appropriate JSESSIONID and VIEWSTATE information, then posted with that info in place - and the manual post was successful.
Am I missing something? Is JMeter requiring something to accomplish this POST that a I'm not seeing in a manual attempt? Please note that I can verify the test is working through the point of login - I can manually see the jmeter user logged in from an admin screen.
Happy to share any/all of what I'm seeing if it might be helpful in helping to troubleshoot.
