I would like to start by saying that I have gone through several answers on related topics here and none seems to fix my issue.
I have created a new thread group and added a new header manager and cookie manager to it. I have 3 https requests in the thread group. The first call is an authentication call which needs no cookies. This call returns 3 cookies in response headers that I need to pass for further requests.
Authentication call is working fine. But the calls after authentication is not working since the cookies are not set. I have added 'CookieManager.check.cookies=false' to the user.properties file and still seeing '[no cookies]' in all requests. I have also tried adding a dummy cookie to the cookie manager under 'User-Defined Cookies' section as shown in the screenshot and even that cookie is not added to the requests.I am getting '[no cookies]' in all requests.
I have also tried all options under policy manager like standard, compatible etc without any success. Also tried this in Jmeter 3.1 and 3.3 (latest version) and the same issue observed.
Any suggestions or solutions are highly appreciated.
To add a custom cookie you must set its Domain to your application domain, otherwise it will not be picked up
Your Path should start with a forward slash / and need to match the request URL path , however it is better to remove anything from that input
It might be the case you're suffering from Bug 56358 so consider upgrading to JMeter 3.3, it can resolve your issue
As a last resort you can always fetch cookies you need from the Set-Cookie response header using Regular Expression Extractor
You could also try going the dirty way and get the cookies values from the previous response and use them in the following parameters or store it. You can do this using a Post processor - Regular Expression Extractor that you put in the first Authentication request. Here is a site that explains how to use RegEx https://octoperf.com/blog/2017/09/07/jmeter-regular-expression-extractor/

We are installing a nextcloud server in my organization and i would like to load test it before we deploy more broadly.
I have managed to do some testing with jmeter...(see answer below)
Now i would like to load test other features of nextcloud. I have found this repo but it seems it is not updated anymore : https://github.com/owncloud/smashbox
Anyone know if it is still working? (i dont have yet access to the nexcloud server os).
Apparently smashbox is designed for owncloud and not nextcloud...any hint on tools for nextcloud?
Thank you
If you "dont have yet access to the nexcloud server" then how do you know that "doesnt log in with http authorization manager"?
Whatever. Given Nextcloud doesn't ask your credentials most probably it's configured for Single-Sign-On and most probably it's Kerberos
If this is the case you will need to not only to add the HTTP Authorization Manager but also perform the relevant configuration in krb5.conf and jaas.conf files (live in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation).
You can check out Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter article for example setup and more comprehensive explanations.
So here is the answer :
You have to create two sampler http request.
the first request is a get request on the login page.
the second request is a post request on the login page.
You have to create a regular expression extractor to extract data-requesttoken:
data-requesttoken="(.+)"
You can reuse it in the post request (name : requesttoken) with the variable set in the extractor.
You also need to add a http cookie manager to the thread group and leave it blank so it handles the cookies set in the get request and in the post request.
Then the login works properly and you can tune in the loop, number of threads and ramp up
There is only one problem on my machine: the request randomly succeed or fail because the cookie manager sometimes set the proper cookies in the redirect after post request and sometimes not... (see here : JMeter randomly setting proper cookies so my request succeed )
I'm having trouble with getting my site normally loaded during the performance testing in Apache JMeter. Firstly I recorded the script (by BadBoy), containing authorization and visiting some pages, unavailable without login. Next, I exported it to JMeter, configured Regular Expression Extractor to get the csrftoken from the request right before the authorization request and it looks like it works just fine:
no errors in http-requests
But if to look at the tab "Response data" of every post-authorized request, the content isn't like correctly loaded page, it just starts page with the empty authorization form, i.e. in some way session is new though all the requests have the same session id and csrftoken in Cookie Data and in Set-Cookie (Sample result), appeared in authorization request result.
HTTP Cookie Manager is added.
Did anyone face this trouble?
UPDATE: I've conducted an experiment with transferring cookies from Chrome to Mozilla Firefox, copied 'csrftoken' and 'session id', and - voila! - it worked, I got the same authorized session in two browsers. Still have no idea what's wrong with JMeter
JMeter automatically treats HTTP Response Codes below 400 as successful, it doesn't perform any checks of response body. Most likely your Regular Expression Extractor failed, add a Debug Sampler and double check resulting variable value.
There could be also the following possible reasons:
You might need to send CSRF token in encoded/escaped form so using i.e. __urlEncode() function will be required. Or vice versa.
Application may expect the token in multiple locations, i.e. not only as a form parameter, but as an extra HTTP Header. In that case you will need to pass it via HTTP Header Manager
You might also want to try the new step-by-step debugger for JMeter to get to the bottom of the issue.
This is the default behavior of this token. 1. make sure where these tokens are passed. It might be passed multiple times. Check the header. Generally, "xref-token" is again passed.
It should be in exact format, decode it if required, also remove , or ; or /. You can also use fiddler.
The solution was found after recording a script by Blazemeter plugin in Chrome and further exporting it in '.JMX' format. Adding an HTTP Header Manager like this (with its special fields, of course) to each HTTP Request solved the problem.
I am testing particular application using JMeter 2.9.There My test plan is Thread group--> Transaction Controller.Inside that various recorded requests are there.I am using HTTP request defaults,HTTP Cookie manager and HTTP header manager,and a view result tree for validation.I found one token i.e. CSRF token to be correlated and I did correlation.But for a particular request I am finding "Session expired..Login again" response much before the logout request.My transaction flow is to Login--> Search a content-->Logout.
Please help me finding a solution.
Try put the element: HTTP Cookie Manager in Thread Group, first item.
the problem can be in the following areas:
-you were redirected automatically instead of following redirects
-login hasn't succeeded
-the session id has not been successfully passed on to the request after login
The JMeter documentation states this:
I've set up JMeter to sample the same URLs as my browser, why is JMeter not seeing the same responses?
There are various different reasons for this:
Cookies - make sure you added a Cookie Manager. Browsers process cookies unless you set them up otherwise, but JMeter does not process cookies unless you add a Cookie Manager.
User-Agent - the User-Agent is a header that is sent by browsers; it identifies the browser type. Some servers are sensitive to this setting and generate different results for what they think are different browsers. The Header Manager is used to add headers such as User-Agent.
Hidden fields - if you did not use the JMeter Proxy (or other application) to record the test plan, then it is easy to miss hidden fields from forms.
Dynamic field names/content - some servers use varying names for fields. So although the test plan may be correct at the time of creation, it does not work when replayed.
URL rewriting - TBA

Cookies support - Problem?
Original Issue/Background:
We have API based on servlet / JSON running in Openshift, the web server used in openshift is Tomcat.
We store information to httpsession and everything works fine when used directly against openshift / tomcat (POST / GET). But when we configured apigee against existing methods the session is lost. Stuff is stored correctly in the session in server side, but when second request comes from apigee into the tomcat the session is "lost"
Piece of java code to get the session is plain httpsession.getRequest(). As said this works fine when using backend directly. Is there some additional steps (cookies etc) needed to maintain the session when requests are used through apigee?
Update Findings;
With short debug an traffic monitoring the reason of the error in apigee is confirmed to be that it does not pass JSessionId to requests. This means that cookies support should be enabled somehow in the API proxy settings / Configuration.
Anyone have an idea where or if this can be resolved?
First off, cookies aren't part of a proper RESTful payload -- if you grabbed the headers you could store them with an access_token as part of the generate token policies.
That aside, you should be able to pass the cookies back to the requesting App and then let the app pass them back to the API -- my jokeindex API lets you do this.
Make sure you don't have any AssignMessage policies in the flow that are stripping out the headers accidentally -- something like this:
<Set>
<Headers />
</Set>
as that will remove ALL headers. Also, you can look at the Trace tool in Apigee to check each policy step along the way to see if you're stripping the Cookie: header from the requesting payload.
When you have your resource on address "http://yourdomain.com/somewhere/", and you redirect to that resource from apigee API, for instance by url: http://yourapi.apigee.net/v0/myresource" what you get back from your server is cookie for /somewhere/ not v0/resource/somewhere, so basically when browser gets cookie back, it does not put it into correct place and discards it. At least that was/is my case.
You should ping #bissell about this but I did find this article that might be helpful:
http://community.apigee.com/groups/learn-create-and-manage-apis/some-basic-questions-new
Also, you might be able to fix your issue by adding an "extract variable" policy to the request that captures the JSessionId and then adding an "assign message" policy to add it back to the request.
You can assign policies from API Platform>Dashboard>API Proxies>YOUR API>Develop
A web app that I'm trying to login with htmlunit is expecting all cookie key/value on a single Cookie request header.
All searches on this topic ends with a link that supposedly has a workaround. http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/SingleCookieHeader but the link is now dead.
Anyone know how to solve this problem? Or has a cached copy of the above mentioned link?
Also found a patch here http://sourceforge.net/p/htmlunit/feature-requests/72/ describing the problem but the patch itself never made it into htmlunit's build.
You can extract the cookies you need by calling
Set<Cookie> cookies = webClient.getCookieManager().getCookies();
and you can construct a custom request and send the cookies as a single request header.
