how to pass parameters to follow redirects in jmeter? - jmeter

I'm writing performance test.
In step #1 I'm visiting url: https://example.com/oauth/authorize
Since i have selected follow-redirect, it redirects to second url - https://example.authenticate.com/login
Now when the redirect happens i need to pass the username and password in-order to get authenticate and get bearer token from the result of the second url
In my JMeter script how can i pass the parameter when redirect happens?
Could you please tell me how it can be achieved ?

If you need to "pass" the parameters you will need to create another HTTP Request sampler to "enter" the credentials.
The redirect URL can be extracted from the Location header using i.e. Regular Expression Extractor
and once you have it you can use it in the 2nd HTTP Request sampler in form of a JMeter Variable:

JMeter - Should I remove Redirect from recorded script?

I used the Blazemeter Chrome plug-in to record. When the UserID is checked, browser is redirected to another URL. This redirect is recorded in the script.
Want to ask:
I read that the redirect will occur during the UserID check if I have Follow Redirects checked ? Is this correct ? The reason I ask is that I saw some extra HTTP request generated but they are not the same URL as the redirect which was sent from the server.
So I can actually just remove the redirect URL recorded ?
Thanks.
Your JMeter test must generate the same network footpring as the real browser does
So you can use a sniffer tool like Wireshark or Fiddler to compare the number/nature of the requests which originate from JMeter and from the real browser, the requests must be exactly the same (apart from dynamic parameters which needs to be correlated)
If HTTP Request sampler redirects automatically and the next request basically duplicates the redirected one - remove the recorded one.
If automatic redirect is causing troubles and you're not able to extract dynamic elements because they're "hidden" in 2nd level of sub-results - disable redirection in the HTTP Request sampler and leave the recorded separate request which mimics redirection.

Passing data response of first request to second request

I have a GET request from where I wont extract value from SAML Request (example : https://195.168.124.124/saml/sso?SAMLRequest=jJLdTgIxEIVfZdP77i8s0LCbIMRIgoYAeuGNqd0BSnbbtdNF5ektCyRqIvGyk3PmzDfTIfKqrNmosVu1gLcG0HrTSUZeel0xGIRJh6ZJ1KOdJO7Qfj9MKQfRTboppAMREu8JDEqtMhL77jVFbGCq0HJlXSmMIxrFNA5XYZ%2fFKQuTZ%2bLNjbZa6PJGqkKqTUYao5jmKJEpXgEyK9hydD9jriN7PYmQ3a1Wc7qAQhoQlngjRDDWBY%2b1wqYCswSzlwIeF7OMbK2tkQUBwkFxa9H6TryX6O8atE7ki0NwpEa5UVIRb%2bKYpVO2HBfzjnM8Wn95AkRNvI%2bqVMjazV2fvz7Dknx4VLN2Qeab%2f7qdXzBJ%2fh%2boYTviOeSUWLMH13U6metSik%2fvVpuKu9P8FRr5UVuRBV23UtYorEHItYTCrb0s9fvYALeQEWsaIF6Qn1J%2ffqH8CwAA%2f%2f8DAA%3d%3d") and use to the another get calling enter image description here
If you want to get the SAMLRequest parameter from the previous response URL the easiest would be adding a Boundary Extractor as a child of that previous request and configure it like:
It will extract the request ID from the URL and store it into SAMLRequest JMeter Variable.

HTTP POST Request to a login form doesnt work in Jmeter

I have a login form that has form method set to POST, form-action set to a servlet, and an OnSubmit function to check the field data.I want to performance test a file download funcitonality that lies behind this login form. To acheive this i am running a parallel sampler to login and then download the file.
The first sampler is for the login and the second one is to dowload the file.
In the first sampler, I want to POST data on this form using JMeter's HTTP Reqest Sampler.
I have inspected the form and created a sampler with three parameters, the username, the password and one more non-discloseable field. I have set the path to the servlet since it is the one handling the requests for the form.
The post request doesn't do anything in this case.
What should i do or check or modify to make sure that the POST request is hitting the correct endpoint and that it actually submits the form data.
You need the samplers to be sequential, I think if you attempt to download the file without prior logging in - the request will fail somewhere somehow.
If it is not sufficient and you would like to add an extra level of checks, i.e. test that the endpoint returns anticipated response code or has certain text you could add Response Assertion as a child of the request and add pass/fail criteria there.
If you don't know how to properly build login and download requests, the easiest way is just recording them using HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, JMeter will capture the requests and generate relevant HTTP Request samplers and HTTP Header Managers

Location parameter was not display in response header for extract access token in JMeter

The location field contains the token value for the next redirecting page. But I am unable to get that token value from the response header to navigate to the next page.
But while we run the browser manually we can see the location filed in the response header.
how can I get an access token without a location parameter else how to get the location parameter in JMeter response header?
If you're not getting the same response with JMeter comparing to the real browser it means that you're not sending the same request (or requests sequence)
Try playing with Redirect automatically / Follow redirects checkboxes, it might be the case JMeter is not properly redirecting you to the proper location
You need to compare the requests originating from JMeter and real browser using:
either browser developer tools and View Results Tree listener
or using a 3rd-party sniffer tool like Fiddler or Wireshark
Once you configure JMeter to behave exactly like the real browser you should get the same response including the Location header.
For Azure B2C login we need to follow the below steps:
Need to extract CSRF and State Properties from below endpoints
.........onmicrosoft.com/b2c_1_xxx_signup_signin_v2/oauth2/v2.0/authorize
Regex Expression Main sample only : "csrf":"([^"]+)","transId":"StateProperties=([^"]+)
Pass above value in below endpoints
............/B2C_1_xxx_SignUp_SignIn_V2/client/perftrace?tx=StateProperties=${csrf_sp_g2}&p=B2C_1_xxx_SignUp_SignIn_V2
3.Extract Code value from below endpoints Main and sub sample body : code=([^"]+)
....../B2C_1_xxx_SignUp_SignIn_V2/api/CombinedSigninAndSignup/confirmed
PAss above code value in below endpoints parameter
......../b2c_1_xxx_signup_signin_v2/oauth2/v2.0/token
You will find the token value in main sample only and also you will get location parameter in sub sample

Passing an email as login to JMeter HTTP Request

Trying to create a JMeter test to login to a site where my username is my email. I've tried with encode checked and unchecked but it keeps coming back saying invalid login, and in the HTTP request i see it posting the variable with %40 instead of the # symbol. Any suggestions on what i'm doing wrong?
Actually I see 3 possibilities to pass email as login. I would recommend you to act in the following way(-s):
1) name login/password as variables and then pass them in POST login request as parameters:
2) to load login (as email) from .csv file and the pass it in POST request
3) to write jMeter script using Chrome extension without launching jMeter.
Hope this works for you.
Step 1: Check how the browser is sending your request (encoded or unencoded), you can use a recording with jmeter for that or you can use for example Fiddler.
Step 2: Base your input for the request on Step 1. So if the browser sends parameter x as encoded, your also going to have to send it encoded in Jmeter.
