How to configure Jmeter to handle www-authenticate: Negotiate header 'kerberos' - jmeter

I need to performance test a SSO based application which uses Kerberos authentication.
In my jmeter tool I have added Http Authorization manager and configured krb5 and jaas config files in bin folder.
While re-playing I am getting '401' and the response header contains 'www-authenticate: Negotiate'.
This was handled by the browser and the Load runner tool.
In load runner, after configuring krb5.ini file, I was able to get the access token.
Can anyone tell me how to generate this Negotiate token in jmeter

Make sure to select KERBEROS as the "Mechanism" in the HTTP Authorization Manager
Provide all other values like username, password, domain and realm
Make sure to use HttpClient4 implementation under HTTP Request Defaults
krb5.conf and jaas.conf settings must match your application setup
You might also want to set sun.security.krb5.debug property to true under system.properties file of JMeter installation and inspect messages in the console

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

Jmeter client certificate setting gives 403 error

Im using apache jmeter 5.3
My remote service requires client certificate when making calls.
I followed the steps pointed in this article[1] (Options-->SSL manager , and selected my cert, provided password)
But still I get 403. Anyone can help?
Same certificate is working when I configure it via Postman.
[1]https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#SSL_Manager
HTTP Status code 403 means "Forbidden", in other words:
The server recognizes the user as the valid one (authentication passes)
However the server doesn't allow the user to access the particular resource (authorization fails)
Also be aware that SSL Manager will work in GUI mode only, if you're running your test in command-line non-GUI mode you will need to put the path to the keystore and the password into system.properties file, see How to Set Your JMeter Load Test to Use Client Side Certificates article for more details.
In case of problems take a look at jmeter.log file, normally it contains sufficient amount of troubleshooting information, if it doesn't - your can always increase log level verbosity for the component(s) you're interested in.

SSL Handshake Exception while Load test using Jmeter in Jenkins

Hi I am integrating the Jmeter with the opeshift pipeline using Jenkins to test my API(https). When the Jmeter is trying to send the request to the API I am getting following error:
Non HTTP response code: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException - Non HTTP response message: java.security.cert.CertificateException: No name matching <> found
I have tried steps to ignore the SSL certificate verification but I am unable to bypass the process.
I have created a spring boot project to run the load test as a pipeline. I am using <groupId>com.lazerycode.jmeter</groupId> and using the the jmeter file with extension .jmx to run in jenkins.
As per SSL Encryption chapter of JMeter Documentation:
The JMeter HTTP samplers are configured to accept all certificates, whether trusted or not, regardless of validity periods, etc. This is to allow the maximum flexibility in testing servers.
If the server requires a client certificate, this can be provided.
So by default JMeter will trust all certificates no matter of their validity, incomplete chain, subject not matching dns hostname, etc.
If might be the case that your application requires JMeter to send client certificate for security reasons, it can be done either using SSL Manager or providing the relevant system properties pointing to the keystore where the certificate lives. See How to Set Your JMeter Load Test to Use Client Side Certificates article for more details

Failure authenticating with NTLM <any realm> in jmeter

While Replaying my Jmeter script I am getting the above NTLM and negotiate Authentication kind of errors. Help me to resolve the issue
I have used Authentication Manager . there I have entered my domain and realm details
Please confirm in Authentication manager , I need to give my server name in REALM configuration.
Please share sample krb5.conf details. in the conf file I need to give server details or client details.
No one will be able to help you unless you provide your HTTP Authorization Manager and HTTP Request configuration.
No one will be able to provide krb5.conf and jaas.conf files as there are to many ways of configuring Kerberos so client configuration will be very different.
I would suggest getting familiarized with Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter article and if you will be still experiencing problems enable some extra logging by setting the following properties:
JMeter Property:
log_level.org.apache.commons.httpclient.Authenticator=trace
Java System Property:
sun.security.krb5.debug
Also you can add debug=true line to the jaas.conf file

Windows Authentication issue in JMeter

I am currently doing a Load Testing of a website using Jmeter. This website uses Windows authentication. Because of this, I need to pass login credentials to the server.
How do I configure JMeter to login to the server using windows authentication?
I came to know that for windows authentication we need to use Http Authorization manager above the Http Request element.
This is the input I have given in Http Authorization manager
Base url: Website URL
username: Username
password: password
I am still not able to resolve the issue. I would be great if someone could help me in resolving the above issue in JMeter.
For Windows authentication types you need to provide at least:
for NTLM: Domain
for Kerberos:
Realm
Kerberos mechanism
Perform JAAS configuration in krb5.conf and jaas.conf files (both in /bin folder of your JMeter installation)
See Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter guide for configuration details.
Add the sql_auth dll into the JRE\bin folder. This solves the problem and makes JMeter run the SQL Queries with integrated security
