Is it possible to use digest auth in jmeter.
When server answers 401 with auth header
(etc: WWW_Authenticate :SP Digest realm="SD Digest Authentication Realm", qop="auth", nonce="MTYyNTE2Mjc5MDE4NDo0ZTQ0NWJjM2Y0MWQ4OGFlMzQyODRmMjEzNWViMTYwNQ==")
on the first request from client and then client must resend original request with properly formed auth headers?
I try to use HTTP Authorization Manager with http client 4, but no luck.
Jmeter does not send any auth header and does not repeat original request.
Try removing this / from "Domain" section, I don't think it's applicable for Digest authentication, it's more for NTLM and/or Kerberos. But given server sends proper WWW-Authenticate header even given wrong HTTP Authorization Manager configuration you should be seeing the Authorization request header
Apart from this I cannot reproduce your issue using simple Apache web server with mod_auth_digest

When performing a curl with --ntlm, what is happening between the WWW-Authenticate header being sent back, and then then the second NTLM Authorization header being sent to finally return a 200?
Authorization: NTLM xxxxxxxx
< HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
< WWW-Authenticate: NTLM xxxxxxxx
Authorization: NTLM xxxxxxxxxx
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
I want to be able to take the first NTLM header (this stays constant with the username/password I believe), and build it into a script, take the returned header, and send the second NTLM one back to authenticate. What I don't understand is how the challenge (WWW-Authenticate header?) is taken in, and then sent back as another NTLM header.
I have tried using the WWW-Auth header as the second NTLM-Auth header, I didnt expect it to work but tried.
NTLM authentication is a multi-step process, which is achieved over HTTP as follows:
Client makes an HTTP request (no authentication data provided).
Server responds with a 401 Unauthorized, and advertises that it supports NTLM authentication via the WWW-Authenticate: NTLM header.
The client generates its first authentication token using InitializeSecurityContext and sends it to the server in the Authorization: NTLM <base64 encoded client token #1> header.
The server takes the client's token and passes it to AcceptSecurityContext, which generates the server's token. The server again responds with 401 Unauthorized, but this time includes its token in the WWW-Authenticate: NTLM <base64 encoded server token> header.
The client takes the server's token, and passes it to InitializeSecurityContext to generate its second token that it sends back to the server in the Authorization: NTLM <base64 encoded client token #2> header.
The server takes the client's second token and passes it to AcceptSecurityContext, which (assuming the authentication is successful) completes the process, and the server returns the normal 200 OK response.
Both InitializeSecurityContext and AcceptSecurityContext return some additional data on the initial call that must be included in the subsequent calls, making the authentication process stateful, so all of the above steps must occur over the same connection to the server.
NTLM is actually a three-request handshake, where the client doesn't send any credentials the first time a resource is requested. This means that the first request is anonymous, even though credentials have been configured for the resource. When Windows authentication is enabled and anonymous authentication is disabled, this anonymous request results in an HTTP 401 status.
The second request will be an NTLM challenge, in which the client resends the original request with an additional "Authorization" header containing NTLM (Type-1 message). The server then sends an NTLM challenge (Type-2 message) back to the client with an HTTP 401 status.
The third request will be the original request that the client sends again by adding a challenge-response (NTLM Type-3 message) to the Authorization header. The server then authenticates the user and returns a response with an HTTP 200 status if successful.
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

What I want to do
Calling an URL which is proxied by the oauth2 proxy. The oauth2 proxy should perform an authorization code flow in case no authentication is available. In case there is already an authentication available, the access token should be set to the Authorization Header in the request which is forwarded to the upstream.
What I tried
According to the documentation I'd expect that, when setting --pass-authorization-header the token which is requested should be added to the authorization header.
I also experimented with --pass-access-token which should set an X-Forwarded-Access-Token header.
I couldn't see this header at my service either.
Could someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?
I found the solution.
This post on a github issue lead me to my mistake.
I did misunderstand what the request is and what the response is and how to handle them using nginx ingresses.
If you are using OAuth2-Proxy with a Kubernetes ingress using nginx subrequests (https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/examples/auth/oauth-external-auth/) the data that comes back to nginx is actually an HTTP response, so you will need to use HTTP Response headers (the --pass-* options configure request headers to the upstream).
Try --set-authorization-header and then you need to use this annotation to have the Kubernetes take the subrequest response header and add it to the proxied request header: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-response-headers
https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/user-guide/nginx-configuration/annotations/#external-authentication
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.
I am trying to do Basic Authentication for protected endpoints. I tried the following :
In the HTTP Header Manager, add an entry with the name "Authorization" and the value "Basic [encoded credentials from above]" as suggested in JMeter Basic Authentication
Added Http Authorization manager and added the
base url as https://shopping-qa.myproject.mydomain.comalong with the username and password. The url of the endpoint is https://shopping-qa.myproject.mydomain.com/api/v3/profile/summary.
While it works when I use the option 1, it does not work when I use option 2. I also uncommented httpclient.parameters.file=httpclient.parameters in jmeter.Properties and http.authentication.preemptive$Boolean=true in httpclient.parameters. But I still do not get the authentication to work.
Any suggestions on where I am going wrong?
Thank you!
If you use httpclient.parameters - make sure that you have HTTPClient3 implementation of the HTTP Request Sampler(s).
Double check that HTTP Authorization Manager really adds "Authorization" header and credentials are correct.
