I am doing load test for my application. For login i am getting set-cookie in response headers. Is it possible to append all cookies using cookie manager and sending it in request header for another request
Just add cookie manager to you thread group.
Jmeter will automatically transfer the cookies to the further request correspondingly
Add HTTP Cookie Manager to your Thread Group, it should handle cookies automatically.
If it doesn't pick up all the cookies, there should be an issue with one or more cookies, i.e. Domain or Path mismatch or expiration date is in the past or whatever. If this is the case and you still want JMeter to consider the invalid cookies you can try adding the next line to user.properties file (located in JMeter's "bin" folder)
CookieManager.check.cookies=false
Given this property set to false JMeter won't check cookies before storing them and you should see "missing" ones, however I would recommend raising a defect against your application as the fact you are not seeing the cookies added by the HTTP Cookie Manager indicates that something is wrong with them

I have placed cookie manager above the thread group.I have extracted cookie value from sampler request(request1) using regex extractor.I have placed cookie manager with extracted cookie values under the sampler(request2).
When i replayed the script the cookie is not set for request2.It shows no cookies.
NOTE:
When I removed the cookie manager placed above the thread group I am getting errors in samplers.

HTTP Cookie Manager handles incoming cookies automatically, it:
Extracts the cookies from the Set-Cookie response header
On subsequent requests if domain and path of the request matches the ones of the cookie(s) the cookie is being added to the request's Cookie header
So there is no need to use any post processors for extracting the cookies.
If the cookie manager is "not working" most probably there is a problem with the cookie, i.e. it's expired or domain of the request is different or something like this. If you want to see what's going on under the hood you can increase JMeter logging verbosity for the cookie manager by adding the next line to log4j2.xml file:
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control" level="debug" />
if there are issues with cookies and JMeter is unwilling to add the cookie you can force it by
Choosing less restrictive policy, i.e. netscape
Adding the next line to user.properties file:
CookieManager.check.cookies=false

I upgraded my JMeter from 3.0 to 5.4.3 due to log4j issue however I am now getting an issue on cookie handling:
JMeter 3.0
JMeter 5.4
As you can see in the result, the grid-sid-axxx was moved after JSESSIONID=z-dxxx which is causing session errors on my side. How can I interchanged these cookie value so I can avoid the session issue due to interchanged cookie value.
There were no change the HTTP Cookie Manager, HTTP Header Manager and HTTP Request samplers
Thanks,
As per the specification:
Although cookies are serialized linearly in the Cookie header,
servers SHOULD NOT rely upon the serialization order. In particular,
if the Cookie header contains two cookies with the same name (e.g.,
that were set with different Path or Domain attributes), servers
SHOULD NOT rely upon the order in which these cookies appear in the
header.
so my expectation is that the order of cookies which are being sent in Cookie header is not important and the request should be successful given both cookies are present.
So it may worth contacting your application developers in order to get the issue fixed on their end.
Also it's always possible to extract cookies from the response using Regular Expression Extractor and add the HTTP Header Manager configured to send the Cookie header with the values in the order your want.
I am using apache jmeter 5.2.1 with Java 8 to perform the performance test in a JSF application.
I need to send in the header of an HTTP request a parameter called "Cookie" according to the example below:
I've tried several things but none work.
I have already used the HttpHeaderManager resource but apparently the word "Cookie" is a JMeter reserved word so I can't create a parameter in the Header with the name "Cookie".
If I create a parameter in HttpHeaderManager with any name it is appended to the request header, but if I create with the name "Cookie" which is the name I need to use JMeter simply ignore it and do not add it to the request header .
I saw many posts indicating that I used the following code snippet:
CookieManager manager = sampler.getCookieManager();
Cookie cookie = new Cookie("JSESSIONID",vars.get("jSessionId"),"${serveraddress}",false,0);
manager.add(cookie);
I've tested it but it doesn't work either, it returns the following error whenever I try to use it:
I also have an Http Cookie Manager but its value is sent in the request body and not in the header.
I also tried to use the Http Autorization Manager as I saw in some posts but it only works when the login is done at a prompt in the browser.
Can someone help me?
Just add a HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan and it will automatically "manage" cookies for you (the HTTP Request samplers must be in the HTTP Cookie Manager's scope)
You can double check that JMeter sends correct Cookie header using a 3rd-party sniffer tool like Wireshark or Fiddler
If you added the HTTP Cookie Manager but JMeter still doesn't send the JSESSIONID cookie it might be the case there is a problem with the cookie itself, i.e. it doesn't match domain/path or expired or your HTTP Request sampler configuration is not correct.
If you absolutely sure that your application behaves as expected you can configure JMeter to be less restrictive by:
Choosing a more "relaxed" cookie policy, i.e. netscape
Adding the next line to user.properties file:
CookieManager.check.cookies=false
You can also add the next line to log4j2.xml file:
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control" level="debug" />
this way you will get comprehensive information of the Cookie Manager's behaviour in the jmeter.log file

I can able to get the "set-cookie" data by regular expression extractor/ by setting it in the JMeter user properties file but I can't get the following cookie data to use it in the "Request Header" as like defining user-agent.
Cookie info displayed in the browser as follows:
connection keep-alive
User-Agent xxxxxx
Cookie _ga=GA1.2.1710658689.1468689932
Where do I find the "_ga" Value such that I will use it.
What is the regular expression for it.
Kindly help me it is blocking.
The easiest way of automatically handling cookies is using HTTP Cookie Manager. If for some reason you need to use cookie value somewhere else - you can extract it as follows:
Add the next line to user.properties file (lives in JMeter's "bin" folder)
CookieManager.save.cookies=true
Restart JMeter to pick the property change up
Add HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan
Refer extracted cookies as ${COOKIE_YOUR_COOKIE_NAME_HERE} where required i.e. ${Cookie__ga} in your case
User-Agent and any other headers can be specified via HTTP Header Manager.
In my scenario it got worked without posting the above mentioned cookie. It worked by posting the set-cookie info and Location value in the header manager. Thanks!
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.
