I am new to jmeter. I have setup up HTTP Request sampler to send GET request to google.com. The response I get is 200. But I could not find the response header where it shows the cookies in the response. I want to use that cookie value for my next request.
You need to look into View Results Tree listener, Set-Cookie header will present in "Sampler Result" tab:
HTTP Cookie Manager should handle cookies automatically. Just in case if you need cookies to be store as JMeter Variables you can set the following property:
CookieManager.save.cookies=true
which can be done in 2 ways:
Pass it to JMeter startup script via -J command line argument as:
jmeter -JCookieManager.save.cookies=true
Add aforementioned CookieManager.save.cookies=true line to user.properties file (located in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation) to make the change permanent. Remember, JMeter restart is required to pick the property up.
This way you will be able to access i.e. NID cookie value as ${COOKIE_NID} where required
See Using the HTTP Cookie Manager in JMeter guide for more information on using HTTP Cookie manager
To handle the cookies automatically, Add HTTP Cookie Manager to the test plan by navigating to Test plan -> Add -> Config Element -> HTTP Cookie Manager.
And don’t test the applications which you don't own or have permission to test.

I recording login with jmeter. I test with 1 user but jmeter cannot login because of __VerificationToken.
I parsed token with CSS Selector Extractor
I'm sure the token has been moved in the cookie.
But I saw two __VerificationToken. Error return request:
GET data:
Cookie Data:
ASP.NET_SessionId=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx;
__RequestVerificationToken=hYTIRJryyxCBfF7vYlAnkPSM-JB0o- Zp41pqFGk30cLyPAehA22k69VOU3NhY-abVbxuEZDgZHnF-bTFHf_4g1HwkuQ1;
__RequestVerificationToken=${token}
It's impossible to say what's wrong without seeing what parameters and headers does real browser send, however it seems you're doing something weird.
You shouldn't manually create the __RequestVerificationToken cookie as it seems to be properly handled by the HTTP Cookie Manager
Given you have the token value already stored in the HTTP Cookie Manager there is no need to extract it, if you need to send it as the parameter in the HTTP Request sampler you can add the next line to user.properties file:
CookieManager.save.cookies=true
and once you restart JMeter to pick up the property you will be able to access the token value as ${COOKIE___RequestVerificationToken} where required

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 have added HTTP Cookie Manager and HTTP Authorization Manager in Test Plan. When run the script following response message I have received
Response code: 401
Response message: UNAUTHORIZED
{"message":"Access is Denied","severity":"danger"}
This is my cookie
_ga=###; _gid=###; _gat=#; accessInfo={###}; userInfo={###}; 574ae166fc51fa5bdbd8beef725e77d7={###}; session=.###
But when run script only partial session is pass from my above cookie data through header request.
I also tried using regular expression but not getting response.
Can anyone suggest me how and where I can pass my cookies dynamically?
If the next request doesn't have all the cookies which you can see in the previous response Set-Cookie header most probably it indicates problem with the cookies.
You can check what exactly JMeter does with cookies by enabling debug logging for the HTTP Cookie Manager, in order to do this add the next line to log4j2.xml file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation:
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.CookieManager" level="debug" />
JMeter restart will be required to pick up the change.
Other things to try:
Turn off JMeter built-in checks for cookies. In order to do this add the next line to user.properties file
CookieManager.check.cookies=false
Play with "Implementation" drop-down value, i.e. try choosing less restrictive implementation, for example netscape
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 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!
