How to bypass proxy for JMeter recording? - jmeter

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

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

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

"UnknownHostException" in Jmeter

I just started learning JMeter today. Wrote a simple web test - 10 user, 1 iteration to hit a webpage,
but in the "view result tree" I get "JMeter Response code: Non HTTP response code: java.net.UnknownHostException"
Thanks in advance for helpers
Most probably you're behind a corporate proxy, your computer is not connected directly to the Internet, it is connected via special machine which grants Internet access to other computers over the network.
You need to make JMeter aware of this proxy, it can be specified at
"Advanced" tab of the HTTP Request sampler (or even better HTTP Request Defaults)
Via command-line arguments like:
jmeter -H your-proxy-host -P your-proxy-port
Via system.properties file like:
https.proxyHost=your-proxy-host
https.proxyPort=your-proxy-port

You might give a try using Chrome Plugin of Blazemeter.
Add Blazemeter Plugin to Chrome (You need to create free account on Blazemeter)
Record sample script
Download Script as .JMX
Try executing the script from your local version of JMeter
This helps with automatically recording browser proxies.

Jmeter Script recorder with Firefox not letting user bypass Authentication

I have an issue I'm facing which Jmeter Script recorder and Firefox browser in Windows 10.
I have managed to add a project in Jmeter with the Recorder template and imported the generated
Certificate into the Firefox browser and also changed the proxy settings to point to the port
I have in Jmeter Test script recorder (8888) by changing the proxy to manual configuration.
But when I start recording I get to a point in where I need to authenticate myself at a certain point in a webpage (a prompt showing up) and I also enter the correct credentials but it just keeps redirecting back to the prompt all over again so I can't bypass it.
Are there settings I should change in some of the Jmeter properties files?
I need to say that the computer I'm trying this with has proxy settings which are fixed and cant be changed when looking into wifi settings in control panel
JMeter provides HTTP Authorization Manager to deal with external authentication types like
basic HTTP
NTLM
Kerberos
So if you want to record the end-to-end flow you need to add properly configured HTTP Authorization Manager to your recording template test plan. The configuration details will differ depending on the server configuration, see Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter article for more details (you will need this setup in any case for replaying the recorded scripts)
Alternative solutions:
Disable proxy for this particular login request like:
Record all the steps including login - it will produce relevant HTTP Request samplers
Disable proxy
Perform login
Enable proxy
Continue recording
Use a 3rd-party recording solution like JMeter Chrome Extension

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.

How to record using jmeter Http proxy server with "Automatic proxy configuration URL" (i.e .pac file )in proxy in browser

In Jmeter, I am not able to record any external website from our company proxy server.
I have to use option "Automatic proxy configuration URL" (i.e one .pac file )in to browser if I dont know how to configure it in Jmeter to do successful recording.
Any idea?
PAC fiels contain javascript which is executed by the browser to decide which proxy URL they want to use. JMeter is not a browser so it does not run this code. The solution is simply to resolve which proxy this script returns and input this value into JMeter directly, you can do this using the dev tools on most browsers, or just ask the IT dept. that maintains the thing to tell you the direct address.
Same question with solution in Jmeter mailing archive.
