How to send authentication parameters in PUT request - Jmeter - jmeter

Trying to perform a load testing using Jmeter tool however can not pass authentication.
The following curl works well
curl -u <USERNAME>:<PASSWORD> -X PUT "http://server-url/artifactory/my-repository/my/new/artifact/directory/file.txt" -T Desktop/myNewFile.txt
I need to upload file via PUT method based on the curl sample above and can not do it because do not understand where username and password values should be placed in the HTTP Request sampler, in the parameters part, Post Body or somewhere else.
Thanks you


You need to add a HTTP Authorisation Manager to your Test Plan and configure it as follows:
Base URL: http://server-url
Username: USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
JMeter will generate relevant Authorization header and add it to the request. See How to Use HTTP Basic Authentication in JMeter article for more details.


Guessing, but you probably add the HTTP header
Authentication: basic [base64 of username:password]
Google "HTTP Basic Authentication"

407 authenticationrequired in JMeter

I work in a company where we use a proxy to access any browser website.
We would like to start API testing with JMeter, but have a problem.
Whenever I try to add an API call to petstore.swagger.io/v2/pet/10, for example, and put in the proxy details in the "Advanced" section of the HTTP request + adding an HTTP authorization manager with Username + Password, it still gives me a "407 Authenticationrequired" error back.
Request headers:
Response headers:
In the information I have also it's that the proxy is "Ruleset Name: Authentication with Kerberos and NTLM Fallback".
This is quite a problem if I'd like to test internal APIs with any authorization on it.

HTTP Status code 407 means that proxy authentication required, it seems that you're using a corporate proxy to access the application under test and this proxy requires credentials.
You have 2 options of passing the proxy credentials to JMeter:
Command-line arguments like:
jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password
JMeter System properties (you can put these lines to system.properties file
http.proxyUser=username
http.proxyPass=password

Is there anywhere i can get support with JMeter?

Apparently not here.
Is there any forum, community or something where i can get help with JMeter?
I have installed JMeter for the first time today. I am trying to do a simple SOAP request. When i run a method the error:
"An error occurred when verifying security for the message"
shows in the Result tree.
Makes sense. In Soap UI (What i normally use) i have to give the following credentials in the request property:
Username: <username>
Password: <password>
Domain: empty
Authentication type: No authorization
WSS-Password Type: "PasswordText"
In SOAPUI this works. When i execute this method i get my results
So i tried in JMeter to add "HTTP Authorization Manager" with:
Base URL: Same url as i use in the test request
Username: <username>
Password: <password>
domain: empty
realm: empty
Mechanism: tried both options
When i run in again no change. It doesn't seem like JMeter even looks are the values in the HTTP Authorization manager. I tried to add it in the root of the Thread group and i tried to make it a child of the request
Can anyone please help me?

Switch Http Request Implementation to HttpClient3.1 in all your requests or use Http Request Defaults and do it there only once.

How to authenticate user when testing REST API using Jmeter

I am trying to make a script to test REST services using Jmeter.
Till now I was using Chrome’s Advanced REST Client.
My authentication request was GET and it was something like this in Advanced REST:
https://username:password#URL:portnumber
its a GET request
Now when I am using Jmeter. I tried following ways:
I added HTTP Authorization Manager and mentioned Base URL and Username/password inside it.
When I am trying to do a request then its showing me “Unauthorized”
I also tried to login using normal https request but no success.
When accessed manually, a authorization popup window appears and username and password is submitted inside this window.
Please suggest me a way for how to login using Jmeter.

Few suggestions:
Most likely you have mismatch in URL you're trying hit and the one, specified in HTTP Authorization Manager, double check it.
Add View Results Tree listener and make sure that the header like:
Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxx=
is being sent along with the request and compare it with the one, sent by the real browser.
Try switching "Implementation" of your HTTP Request samplers to HttpClient3.1, the easiest way of doing this is using HTTP Request Defaults
And finally, you can use HTTP Header Manager to send the relevant header, it's name should be Authorization and value Basic and username:password encoded in Base64. There is base64Encode function available via JMeter Plugins.

JMeter Basic Authentication with HTTP Authorization Manager

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.
See How to use HTTP Basic Authentication in JMeter for example of bypassing basic HTTP authentication in phpmyadmin.

JMeter Basic Authentication

I am trying to imply the basic authentication process for a web service using JMeter. But everytime it throws out an error 401:Unauthorized. I tried using the HTTP Header manager to add a header Authorization and value to it. Still it does not work. I have also tried using the HTTP Authorization manager. Still no luck. Can someone help.

I've found through debugging requests coming in from JMeter that the HTTP Authorization Manager module doesn't encode the username and password correctly. It puts a newline character after the username.
To run a JMeter test against a Basic Auth protected endpoint, include the HTTP Header Manager and add the Basic Auth header yourself:
Manually Encoding Credentials
From MacOS or Linux:
echo -n "username:password" | base64
From Windows:
Go here and encode your "username:password" string
Adding the Authorization Header
In the HTTP Header Manager, add an entry with the name "Authorization" and the value "Basic [encoded credentials from above]"

Edit 19 august 2017 for JMeter 3.2:
Use answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/12563623/460802
Basically to bypass a Basic Authorization you need to add the Authorization header with the value Basic base64(username:password). The problem is that JMeter has no base64 function embedded.
The solution is :
Step1 Add BeanShell PreProcessor (PreProcessor --> BeanShell Preprocessor)
Step2 Add the following script to the PreProcessor
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
byte[] encodedUsernamePassword = Base64.encodeBase64("neo4j:1234".getBytes());
vars.put("base64HeaderValue",new String(encodedUsernamePassword));
Step3 Add HTTP Header Manager
Step4 Add Authorization header with correct value
header name Authorization
header value Basic ${base64HeaderValue} (base64HeaderValue variable is initialized by the BeanShell Preprocessor)
So in the end when you create a http request Authorization header will be passed to the server with base64 encoded string

Do the following:
1/ Configure HTTP Authorization Manager correctly with all required fields
2/
Option 1 : Using HTTP 4 : (default)
it is possible since JMeter 3.2 without any further configuration using Authorization Manager
Option 2 : Using HTTP 3.1 : (deprecated)
in jmeter.properties , uncomment:
httpclient.parameters.file=httpclient.parameters
in httpclient.parameters, uncomment:
http.authentication.preemptive$Boolean=true
If you're looking to learn JMeter, this book by 3 developers of the project will help you

Make sure to provide a protocol for the base URL, i.e.: "http://localhost" instead of "localhost"

Like Ryan T said, in the HTTP Header Manager, add an entry with the name "Authorization" and the value "Basic [encoded credentials from above]" but without [].

If you get Response code as 401, then add "HTTP Authorization manager" Config Element

I am using Jmeter 3.3
GO to Jmeter on User choose add then HTTP Authorization Manager
Then add ur url , userid,password
If response type is json then add HTTP Header manager

You can easily use JSON Extractor for authentication inside the auth request to store the token in a variable, then you will just need to use it whenever the token is needed, in order to use that you will need an HTTP header manager using that variable you can follow the screenshots for clear instructions.
JSON Extractor configuration:
HTTP header manager configuration:

In reference to the first answer above, the incorrect encoding problem you mention must be now fixed, as Apache 3.1 does appear to encode the username:password correctly in HTTP Auth Manager

Adding a slight variation of #yurko which uses the username & password from User defined variables. (for Jmeter prior to 3.2)
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
String username = vars.get("USERNAME");
String password = vars.get("PASSWORD");
String combineduserpass = username + ":" + password;
byte[] encodedUsernamePassword = Base64.encodeBase64(combineduserpass.getBytes());
vars.put("base64HeaderValue",new String(encodedUsernamePassword));

Updating good findings from your 2013 answers:
The HTTP4 option also works under current Jmeter version 2.13
after adding HTTP Header Manager row containing:
name="Authorization", value="Basic [base64-encoded user/password string]"
Verified on current host amazon linux having reverse proxy from apache 2.4 to tomcat8; tomcat8 recognized the user credentials instead of throwing 401 status.
