I am trying to do Basic Authentication for protected endpoints. I tried the following :
In the HTTP Header Manager, add an entry with the name "Authorization" and the value "Basic [encoded credentials from above]" as suggested in JMeter Basic Authentication
Added Http Authorization manager and added the
base url as https://shopping-qa.myproject.mydomain.comalong with the username and password. The url of the endpoint is https://shopping-qa.myproject.mydomain.com/api/v3/profile/summary.
While it works when I use the option 1, it does not work when I use option 2. I also uncommented httpclient.parameters.file=httpclient.parameters in jmeter.Properties and http.authentication.preemptive$Boolean=true in httpclient.parameters. But I still do not get the authentication to work.
Any suggestions on where I am going wrong?
Thank you!
If you use httpclient.parameters - make sure that you have HTTPClient3 implementation of the HTTP Request Sampler(s).
Double check that HTTP Authorization Manager really adds "Authorization" header and credentials are correct.
See How to use HTTP Basic Authentication in JMeter for example of bypassing basic HTTP authentication in phpmyadmin.

Is it possible to use digest auth in jmeter.
When server answers 401 with auth header
(etc: WWW_Authenticate :SP Digest realm="SD Digest Authentication Realm", qop="auth", nonce="MTYyNTE2Mjc5MDE4NDo0ZTQ0NWJjM2Y0MWQ4OGFlMzQyODRmMjEzNWViMTYwNQ==")
on the first request from client and then client must resend original request with properly formed auth headers?
I try to use HTTP Authorization Manager with http client 4, but no luck.
Jmeter does not send any auth header and does not repeat original request.
Try removing this / from "Domain" section, I don't think it's applicable for Digest authentication, it's more for NTLM and/or Kerberos. But given server sends proper WWW-Authenticate header even given wrong HTTP Authorization Manager configuration you should be seeing the Authorization request header
Apart from this I cannot reproduce your issue using simple Apache web server with mod_auth_digest
What I want to do
Calling an URL which is proxied by the oauth2 proxy. The oauth2 proxy should perform an authorization code flow in case no authentication is available. In case there is already an authentication available, the access token should be set to the Authorization Header in the request which is forwarded to the upstream.
What I tried
According to the documentation I'd expect that, when setting --pass-authorization-header the token which is requested should be added to the authorization header.
I also experimented with --pass-access-token which should set an X-Forwarded-Access-Token header.
I couldn't see this header at my service either.
Could someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong?
I found the solution.
This post on a github issue lead me to my mistake.
I did misunderstand what the request is and what the response is and how to handle them using nginx ingresses.
If you are using OAuth2-Proxy with a Kubernetes ingress using nginx subrequests (https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/examples/auth/oauth-external-auth/) the data that comes back to nginx is actually an HTTP response, so you will need to use HTTP Response headers (the --pass-* options configure request headers to the upstream).
Try --set-authorization-header and then you need to use this annotation to have the Kubernetes take the subrequest response header and add it to the proxied request header: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/auth-response-headers
https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/user-guide/nginx-configuration/annotations/#external-authentication
I have a test configured in Jmeter for a HTTP basic auth-protected site. I have an HTTP Authorization Manager configured at the top level with the user/pass for this auth.
There's one http request buried deep in the thread ('Get configurable product options' in the pic below) that I do not want to send the Authorization header with: it's a REST call and I'm sending a bearer Authorization header instead.
I have a HTTP Header Manager assigned to this call with the specific Authorization header defined. All I want is for the Basic Auth header not to be sent, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how.
How do I override this so that the Authorization header set by the HTTP Header Manager overrides the one set by the Authorization Manager?
As per documentation for the HTTP Authorization Manager (JMeter 5.0)
If there is more than one Authorization Manager in the scope of a Sampler, there is currently no way to specify which one is to be used.
So the only way you can override the Authorization header value is using HTTP Header Manager
Add HTTP Header Manager as a child which header you want to override
Configure it as follows:
Name: Authorization
Value: ${__base64Encode(username:password,)}
Replace username and password with your real credentials
Keep in mind that __base64Encode() is a custom JMeter function, if you don't have it already you will need to install it via JMeter Plugins Manager
I am trying to imply the basic authentication process for a web service using JMeter. But everytime it throws out an error 401:Unauthorized. I tried using the HTTP Header manager to add a header Authorization and value to it. Still it does not work. I have also tried using the HTTP Authorization manager. Still no luck. Can someone help.
I've found through debugging requests coming in from JMeter that the HTTP Authorization Manager module doesn't encode the username and password correctly. It puts a newline character after the username.
To run a JMeter test against a Basic Auth protected endpoint, include the HTTP Header Manager and add the Basic Auth header yourself:
Manually Encoding Credentials
From MacOS or Linux:
echo -n "username:password" | base64
From Windows:
Go here and encode your "username:password" string
Adding the Authorization Header
In the HTTP Header Manager, add an entry with the name "Authorization" and the value "Basic [encoded credentials from above]"

Basically to bypass a Basic Authorization you need to add the Authorization header with the value Basic base64(username:password). The problem is that JMeter has no base64 function embedded.
The solution is :
Step1 Add BeanShell PreProcessor (PreProcessor --> BeanShell Preprocessor)
Step2 Add the following script to the PreProcessor
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
byte[] encodedUsernamePassword = Base64.encodeBase64("neo4j:1234".getBytes());
vars.put("base64HeaderValue",new String(encodedUsernamePassword));
Step3 Add HTTP Header Manager
Step4 Add Authorization header with correct value
header name Authorization
header value Basic ${base64HeaderValue} (base64HeaderValue variable is initialized by the BeanShell Preprocessor)
So in the end when you create a http request Authorization header will be passed to the server with base64 encoded string
Do the following:
1/ Configure HTTP Authorization Manager correctly with all required fields
2/
Option 1 : Using HTTP 4 : (default)
it is possible since JMeter 3.2 without any further configuration using Authorization Manager
Option 2 : Using HTTP 3.1 : (deprecated)
in jmeter.properties , uncomment:
httpclient.parameters.file=httpclient.parameters
in httpclient.parameters, uncomment:
http.authentication.preemptive$Boolean=true

Make sure to provide a protocol for the base URL, i.e.: "http://localhost" instead of "localhost"
Like Ryan T said, in the HTTP Header Manager, add an entry with the name "Authorization" and the value "Basic [encoded credentials from above]" but without [].
If you get Response code as 401, then add "HTTP Authorization manager" Config Element
I am using Jmeter 3.3
GO to Jmeter on User choose add then HTTP Authorization Manager
Then add ur url , userid,password
If response type is json then add HTTP Header manager
You can easily use JSON Extractor for authentication inside the auth request to store the token in a variable, then you will just need to use it whenever the token is needed, in order to use that you will need an HTTP header manager using that variable you can follow the screenshots for clear instructions.
JSON Extractor configuration:
HTTP header manager configuration:
In reference to the first answer above, the incorrect encoding problem you mention must be now fixed, as Apache 3.1 does appear to encode the username:password correctly in HTTP Auth Manager
Adding a slight variation of #yurko which uses the username & password from User defined variables. (for Jmeter prior to 3.2)
import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;
String username = vars.get("USERNAME");
String password = vars.get("PASSWORD");
String combineduserpass = username + ":" + password;
byte[] encodedUsernamePassword = Base64.encodeBase64(combineduserpass.getBytes());
vars.put("base64HeaderValue",new String(encodedUsernamePassword));

The HTTP4 option also works under current Jmeter version 2.13
