Jmeter - How to extract JSON response data and assign those to cookie? - jmeter

I want to extract json response data and assign them to next request cookies. Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks in advance.

You can extract the required value from JSON using JSON Extractor. See Jayway JsonPath - Getting Started to learn more about JSONPath.
Once you have a JMeter Variable holding the value you can use HTTP Cookie Manager to configure JMeter to send an extra cookie.

Sales force application load testing using JMeter, one of the requests has got response of invalid JSON message

We are using JMeter for salesforce application performance testing and the request information is sent using parameters and one of the parameters holds the Json message and when we execute the request we are getting as
/{"event":{"descriptor":"markup://aura:systemError","attributes":{"values":{"message":"[AuraClientInputException from server] Unexpected request input. Expected input format: "Data in a request must be a valid JSON Object and must be in the expected format."."}}
when i have validated the request using Json format validator it is valid json however when take the request sent from the view result tree it is not a valid json, something went wrong or JMeter has modified the message. anybody has faced this issue any solution is appreciated.
It's hard to say anything without seeing your HTTP Request sampler configuration
Normally if you add your JSON to the "Body Data" tab of the HTTP Request sampler:
and add a HTTP Header Manager configured to send Content-Type header with the value of application/json
the request should reach the server "as it is"
If you have doubts whether your JMeter setup is correct you can just record the relevant request using JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder

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.

Jmeter : getting 401 error

Does any one knows how to solve it with regular expression? here i am putting screen shot with valid access token and error response token.
thanks in advance.
Valid response token
invalid response token
and Regular expression exctracter
it is fine if you guys have any other solution for this unauthorized access thing.
Add JSON Extractor as a child of the authserver request and configure it as follows:
Variable Names: anything meaningful, i.e. token
JSON Path expressions: $.access_token
Add HTTP Header Manager as a child of the student request and configure it to send Authorization header with the value of Bearer ${token}
Going forward you can go for an alternative way of recording a JMeter test which is capable of exporting the recorded requests in SmartJMX mode with automatic correlation of dynamic parameters applied so you will be able to save your time for more creative work. See How to Cut Your JMeter Scripting Time by 80% article for more details.

Jmeter Login Request with cookies have wrong Response

I m new in jmeter i want to know if i send post request for login with cookies then in Response below information is displaying .
Request Error We’re sorry, there was a problem with your request.
Please make sure you have cookies enabled and try again.
What could be going wrong.?
It may be not about the missing or incorrect cookies.
You need to provide valid loginCsrfParam value as well, it needs to be extracted from previous response via one of the following PostProcessors:
Regular Expression Extractor
XPath Extractor
CSS/JQuery Extractor
converted into a JMeter Variable and used as a parameter in your login request.
See How to Load Test CSRF-Protected Web Sites guide for comprehensive information on bypassing CSRF protection in your JMeter test.

JMeter: How to use the RESTful API key for authorization of the next set of API

I am creating a jmeter load test plan for RESTful API request. I need to use the dynamic API key generated in my first sampler SignIn API in the next set of API requests I am going to create.
Can someone help out with how to pass the selected data parameters from response and input to the another api request in other required format for that post request.
Response Header
WebxxxHeader: {"UserName":"xxxxx","UserID":1,"ApiKey":"ea9a3572-de75-4a85-848a-8fed874f2269","ValidFrom":"2015-06-05 05:54:35","ValidTo":"2015-06-12 05:54:35","UserRole":null,"Password":null,"DeviceToken":null,"DeviceType":null,"IsRetina":false,"UniqueId":null}
Header to be posted in the next set of APIs
WebxxxHeader: {"UserName":"xxxxx","ApiKey":"ea9a3572-de75-4a85-848a-8fed874f2269"}
One more issue here is I have to pass the user email in the header instead of UserName.
Please share advanced JMeter blog references.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
I would suggest searching the web for something like "JMeter correlation" - that should give you the answers you're looking for.
Particular this API key bit can be handled via Regular Expression Extractor postprocessor.
Add Regular Expression Extractor as a child of the request which returns the API Key
Configure it as follows:
Field to check: Response Headers
Reference Name: anything meaningful, i.e. API_KEY
Regular Expression: "ApiKey":"(.+?)"
Template: $1$
Other fields can be left as is
Add HTTP Header Manager as a child of the second request and configure it as follows:
Name: WebxxxHeader
Value: `{"UserName":"xxxxx","ApiKey":"${API_KEY}"}
If you testing REST API I think that JSON Path Extractor available via JMeter Plugins could be extremely useful. See Using the XPath Extractor in JMeter guide (scroll to "Parsing JSON") for installation and usage instructions and some form of JSON Path language reference.
