JMeter - error in Load WSDL - jmeter

I was trying to test webservice on jmeter and I am using WebService(SOAP)
Request (DEPRECIATED) in Thread Group>add>sampler>WebService(SOAP)
Request (DEPRECIATED) and getting this error. I already use the WSDL URL in browser and it recognized, but why in jmeter wasn't? I am using Apache JMeter (2.9 r1437961)

Upgrade your JMeter to the latest version (2.13 as for now), it's available from the Downloads page
Don't use WebService(SOAP) Request, switch to SOAP/XML-RPC Request instead. You can even use HTTP Request sampler, but if you need to send SOAPAction - you'll need to add HTTP Header Manager to send headers like SOAPAction and Content-Type
Response code 401 means "Unauthorized", it looks like your web service needs some credentials. Add HTTP Authorization Manager to your test plan and supply credentials there.

How does JMeter generate Content-Type = Multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebkitFormBoundaryxxxxxxxxxx

I am working on creating performance test for an application based on Windows authentication.
Test plan is designed as following :
Test Plan
HTTP Cookie Manager
HTTP Authorization Manager
Thread Group
HTTP Request 1
HTTP Request 2
In the HTTP authorization manager section I have provided the base URL, username, password and selected Mechanism as BASIC_DIGEST.
Now assume that HTTP Request 2 is a file upload scenario.
When the steps were recorded then then the file upload scenario had a Content-Type header which has the value - Multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebkitFormBoundaryxxxxxxxxxx.
Now when I execute the script boundary in the above format is not generated which probably results in script failure. I need to understand what changes I might need to implement in order to generate the Content-Type correctly.
I believe that you should rather remove Content-Type header from the HTTP Header Manager and tick "Use multipart-form/data" box in the HTTP Request sampler:
The fact you're getting HTTP Status 401 means that your configuration of HTTP Authorization Manager is not correct. If you're using your Windows domain credentials for accessing the application your "Mechanism" choice might be wrong as Kerberos is way more popular than NTLM so inspect network tab of your browser developer tools and see what are WWW-Authenticate and Authorization header value, this way you can guess what mechanism is being used exactly and properly configure the HTTP Authorization Manager

Possible if want to do API Load Testing using JMeter with URI info only?

My team planned to do API Performance Testing using JMeter 5.0 for my client. My client developed the API in Kubernetes. Just wondering, they gave info such as URI, HTTP Method and Content-Type only. We never have experience using URI. Are these info sufficient to do load test in JMeter? And where do I fill in these info? Is it in Config Element: HTTP Header Manager?
Because usually I only do my enablement using sample website which already provide the URL.
Do I need to ask them to provide the specific URL for this? Or URL can be extracted from URI?
Thanks.
Normally you should put:
Protocol, server name or IP and Port Number into HTTP Request Defaults, this way you will have a single configuration element having these details and in case of change you will need to introduce the change at one place only and won't have to revisit each and every HTTP Request sampler
Individual requests are defined using individual HTTP Request samplers where you need to provide URL Path and request body (if any)
Content-Type and other Headers can be provided via HTTP Header Manager, the same Scoping Rules as for HTTP Request Defaults apply, for example if you want to send application/json for all the requests just add HTTP Header Manager on the top of your Test Plan and it will add the header to all HTTP Request samplers which are at the same level as the HTTP Header Manager or lower.

Post Request getting failed due to webkitformboundary in JMeter

We have a recorded script using Blaze Meter(HTTPS call) and run in JMeter, One POST request getting failed and shows "500 Internal Server error". In Post request, JSON passed in form of "form-Data" as parameter. When endpoint executed we observed Webkitformbounday in HTTP header, Please give some solution for
HTTPs Request
HTTP Header Manager
POST Request Body
enter image description here
It looks like the recording solution you're using isn't very suitable for building proper HTTP POST request, I would suggest the following amendments:
Untick Use multipart/form-data box in the HTTP Request sampler
Remove issueDetail parameter name and put it to the end of "path"
Change Content-Type header value to application/json
Authorization header value might need to be correlated if the token life span is short

JMeter sends request without Auth Header than retries with Auth Header

On my JMeter script I am using the HTTP Authorization Manager, I observed that JMeter sends requests without Auth-Header and than retry with Auth-Header and successful. Is any settings to avoid this. Please let me know.
Jmeter sends Request1 with out Auth-Header - tcpdump shows 401 but not on Jmeter logs
Jmeter sends Request1 with Auth-Header - tcpdump and Jmeter logs shows 200 OK
My expectation is that if you upgrade to JMeter 3.2 you should not see this issue anymore as according to the HTTP Authorization Manager documentation:
The HttpComponents (HC 4.5.X) implementation defaults to pre-emptive since 3.2 and the header will be shown
If for some reason you are not in position to upgrade to JMeter 3.2 or later (although it is highly recommended to use the most recent JMeter version) you can add the next line to user.properties file
httpclient4.auth.preemptive=true
See Preemptive Authentication stanza for more details.
Make sure you set "Implementation" of your HTTP Request sampler(s) to HttpClient4, the best way to set it is using HTTP Request Defaults and restart JMeter to pick the property up. Once done JMeter should send credentials even if it didn't receive unauthorized response. See Configuring JMeter chapter for more information.

How to pass the http request auto generated _token value (value generated under http request, not in response) to next http request in jmeter

I have a http request that auto generates '_token' value with the request(this value generated under http request only, not in the response of this request) and this '_token' value needs to be passed to the next http request header as 'authorization'. I know we can use JSON/RegEx post processor if it is in Response of the first http request. However how it be be correlated if the dynamic value is in http request.
Please suggest how can we achieve this in jmeter.
Most likely you are trying to load test an application which uses OAuth and depending on OAuth version and your application setup there could be different options. If the token is permanent - you can just put it into HTTP Header Manager, however if the token expires more or less frequently - you will need to implement OAuth flow using JMeter (in some cases you will need some extras like scripting, kick off browser to open a redirect URL or use OAuth client libraries). Check out How to Run Performance Tests on OAuth Secured Apps with JMeter article for details.
I would suggest contacting your application developers to learn about OAuth version, settings, required client id/secret, etc.
