How might I authenticate GET requests to an elasticsearch API using Jmeter GUI. I know using curl I can authenticate using something like
curl -u user:password http://www.example.com
but Jmeter only has the following options
The Authorization Manager lets you specify one or more user logins for web pages that are restricted using server authentication. You see this type of authentication when you use your browser to access a restricted page, and your browser displays a login dialog box. JMeter transmits the login information when it encounters this type of page.
Some developer posted an example of basic auth here.

I am doing performance testing. I have a URL abc.com it redirects to http://github.com for login. Because abc.com is registered in Github. What will be the approach to login into the application with Jmeter
It's called OAuth and you need to implement the required authorization flow, most probably Authorization Code Grant, however it depends on how your "abc.com" is exactly integrated with Github.
All the information on possible options and flows is listed on Github website so you either need to ask around what exact flow is being used or inspect the traffic from your browser using your browser developer tools or external sniffer tool like Fiddler or https://www.wireshark.org/
Actually it's only matter of passing correct parameters to Github https://github.com/login/oauth/authorize and https://github.com/login/oauth/access_token endpoints and correlating the dynamic values using suitable JMeter Post-Processors.
URL I am hitting for sign in is
https://accounts.google.com/signin/oauth/oauthchooseaccount?client_id=314687257509-dfk13dhtelq4o1ti0li7af1akie3ieqm.apps.googleusercontent.com&as=H_7I4EsREAQ2c6c8EejwOw&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fmetacampus-in.appspot.com&approval_state=!ChRUMEJ4bVhFcm5Sb0JxaHgwb1F3bBIfOC1uZGhOTGc1bmdSOEhuU1JuY2dubXJlQXdHdVRCWQ%E2%88%99ANKMe1QAAAAAW1gSB4OWT70lnDr525s7wW0mFo0q0uZ6&oauthgdpr=1&xsrfsig=AHgIfE_kc7fWgnNfGE6nCQu1hzZAma2qcQ&flowName=GeneralOAuthFlow
In order to be able to proceed you need to add a proper Authorization Bearer token via HTTP Header Manager.
There are several ways to obtain the token:
Perform login via real web browser using i.e. WebDriver Sampler and extract the token value from the browser
Obtain the token from the developer console
Use Google OAuth Client Library from JSR223 Sampler to perform programmatic OAuth login.
See How to Run Performance Tests on OAuth Secured Apps with JMeter article for more information on each of the approaches.
I am trying to perform load testing using JMeter on my project's web service (search web service for instance), the problem I am facing is that I am getting {"Message":"Authorization has been denied for this request."} in "Response data" tab in JMeter
This same message I also get when I try to paste the same query string (which I am using in JMeter as Path) in browser new tab without logging in first,, but if I login on my project first and then try to paste the query string in browser's new tab then it works fine.
Now the actual problem that I am facing in JMeter is that I am unable to log in to the system using "HTTP Header Manager"
I tried by adding Basic authentication in "HTTP Header Manager" but it didn't worked, then my developer told me that he is using "ASP Membership" authentication instead of Basic authentication,, now I am not sure how to use this type of authentication in JMeter.
I think I have explained my problem in detail here, can any one please help me in this as I am really stuck into it.
Thanks in advance
You need to add a cookie-manager to your Thread Group. This will preserve the cookies ( hence sessions) between requests. Next add a http request which will do a POST of your login form then another HTTP Request with your actual request. This way you are imitating the steps you do on your browser - that is - login followed by request.
Looking into ASP.NET Forms Authentication Overview article:
Forms authentication lets you authenticate users by using your own code and then maintain an authentication token in a cookie or in the page URL.
So depending on implenentation of ASP.NET Forms on server side you can use one of the following test elements:
HTTP Cookie Manager
HTTP URL Re-writing Modifier
Also you may need to perform the correlation of the mandatory dynamic parameters such as VIEWSTATE or EVENTVALIDATION. See ASP.NET Login Testing with JMeter guide for detailed explanation and walkthrough.
I'm trying to implement a oAuth login flow in a bash script.
The request I need to send to my API is:
curl -X GET 'http://account.lab.fiware.org/oauth2/authorize?response_type=token&client_id=my_client_id&redirect_uri=my_redirect_uri&state=testing'
I keep getting a 301 Moved Permanently Apache message referencing to the same address..
When trying the same url from my browser - it does work.
Is there a way that I can copy the browser behaviour with curl?
So, once the above request has been made I will be able to see the redirect location in order to get the token from?
that OAuth2 grant is thought to be used from a web browser. You have other grant types that can be user from server side. Take a look to:
http://fiware-idm.readthedocs.org/en/latest/oauth2.html#oauth2-authentication

Could anyone please help to test the login / authentication with the following scenario?
User access the site "sitaA.com" home page. In that page, there is a button "login with oauth".
Upon clicking the "login with oauth" button, "siteA.com" redirects to "siteB.com" in which the user is able to key in username and passowrd and sign in. It authenticates (oauth) the user and returns back to "siteA.com".
siteA.com will send the client id and call back url when redirects to siteB.com.
How to achieve this using JMeter?
Thanks in advance
OAuth is a basically a way of getting a token. If you're load-testing OAuth-enabled application you need to do the following:
Request temporary access token
Authorize access token
Change temporary access token to something permanent
You can do steps above manually, capture permanent access token via sniffer and add it to your requests as a separate HTTP Request parameter. If you have limited number of user logins to reuse in test it may do the trick for you.
However if you need to test end-to-end flow which assumes obtaining token process via JMeter you need to consider OAuth Sampler Plugin
So basically you need to do one of the following:
Manual 3-stepped OAuth login and capture token process followed by adding token as a parameter of HTTP Requests for each virtual user
Automated OAuth login process by means of JMeter OAuth sampler
If you have limited number of logins/users option 1 may be better
P.S. There is also an option for advanced JMeter users and/or Java developers to add OAuth java client libraries to JMeter lib/ext folder and use Beanshell Samplers to authenticate with OAuth. It's also likely that you'll have to use Selenium with JMeterto navigate to OAuth callback page and confirm authorized login from there.
