Windows Authentication issue in JMeter - jmeter

I am currently doing a Load Testing of a website using Jmeter. This website uses Windows authentication. Because of this, I need to pass login credentials to the server.
How do I configure JMeter to login to the server using windows authentication?
I came to know that for windows authentication we need to use Http Authorization manager above the Http Request element.
This is the input I have given in Http Authorization manager
Base url: Website URL
username: Username
password: password
I am still not able to resolve the issue. I would be great if someone could help me in resolving the above issue in JMeter.

For Windows authentication types you need to provide at least:
for NTLM: Domain
for Kerberos:
Realm
Kerberos mechanism
Perform JAAS configuration in krb5.conf and jaas.conf files (both in /bin folder of your JMeter installation)
See Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter guide for configuration details.

Add the sql_auth dll into the JRE\bin folder. This solves the problem and makes JMeter run the SQL Queries with integrated security

Jmeter Script recorder with Firefox not letting user bypass Authentication

I have an issue I'm facing which Jmeter Script recorder and Firefox browser in Windows 10.
I have managed to add a project in Jmeter with the Recorder template and imported the generated
Certificate into the Firefox browser and also changed the proxy settings to point to the port
I have in Jmeter Test script recorder (8888) by changing the proxy to manual configuration.
But when I start recording I get to a point in where I need to authenticate myself at a certain point in a webpage (a prompt showing up) and I also enter the correct credentials but it just keeps redirecting back to the prompt all over again so I can't bypass it.
Are there settings I should change in some of the Jmeter properties files?
I need to say that the computer I'm trying this with has proxy settings which are fixed and cant be changed when looking into wifi settings in control panel
JMeter provides HTTP Authorization Manager to deal with external authentication types like
basic HTTP
NTLM
Kerberos
So if you want to record the end-to-end flow you need to add properly configured HTTP Authorization Manager to your recording template test plan. The configuration details will differ depending on the server configuration, see Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter article for more details (you will need this setup in any case for replaying the recorded scripts)
Alternative solutions:
Disable proxy for this particular login request like:
Record all the steps including login - it will produce relevant HTTP Request samplers
Disable proxy
Perform login
Enable proxy
Continue recording
Use a 3rd-party recording solution like JMeter Chrome Extension

How to configure Jmeter to handle www-authenticate: Negotiate header 'kerberos'

I need to performance test a SSO based application which uses Kerberos authentication.
In my jmeter tool I have added Http Authorization manager and configured krb5 and jaas config files in bin folder.
While re-playing I am getting '401' and the response header contains 'www-authenticate: Negotiate'.
This was handled by the browser and the Load runner tool.
In load runner, after configuring krb5.ini file, I was able to get the access token.
Can anyone tell me how to generate this Negotiate token in jmeter
Make sure to select KERBEROS as the "Mechanism" in the HTTP Authorization Manager
Provide all other values like username, password, domain and realm
Make sure to use HttpClient4 implementation under HTTP Request Defaults
krb5.conf and jaas.conf settings must match your application setup
You might also want to set sun.security.krb5.debug property to true under system.properties file of JMeter installation and inspect messages in the console

Setup authorizers.xml for secured Nifi server

I am trying to setup a simple https security using certificates for my Nifi server. I am able to setup the secure connection by setting
nifi.security.keystore=.../nifiuser.jks and installing certifcates etc.
When I access through Web UI , i get :
No applicable policies could be found. Contact the system administrator.
I think i need to configure "authorizers.xml" but I dont know how. I just want "nifiuser" to have all admin rights.
Please help! Thank you
There are a lot of docs and posts that describe how to do this:

Failure authenticating with NTLM <any realm> in jmeter

While Replaying my Jmeter script I am getting the above NTLM and negotiate Authentication kind of errors. Help me to resolve the issue
I have used Authentication Manager . there I have entered my domain and realm details
Please confirm in Authentication manager , I need to give my server name in REALM configuration.
Please share sample krb5.conf details. in the conf file I need to give server details or client details.
No one will be able to help you unless you provide your HTTP Authorization Manager and HTTP Request configuration.
No one will be able to provide krb5.conf and jaas.conf files as there are to many ways of configuring Kerberos so client configuration will be very different.
I would suggest getting familiarized with Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter article and if you will be still experiencing problems enable some extra logging by setting the following properties:
JMeter Property:
log_level.org.apache.commons.httpclient.Authenticator=trace
Java System Property:
sun.security.krb5.debug
Also you can add debug=true line to the jaas.conf file

Secure Oozie Web Console not working from my Windows machine

I have setup a secure(Kerberos) Oozie environment in CentOS 6.3 using CDH 4.1.2. I am able to view the Oozie web console from CentOS machine which is hosted in server. But is there a way to view the webconsole from my local Windows machine.
I have tried creating a HTTP principal with my windows machine as hostname. I am able to get a valid ticket for HTTP principal. But when I open the Oozie Web Console, I get the following error
org.apache.hadoop.security.authentication.client.AuthenticationException: GSSException: Defective token detected (Mechanism level: GSSHeader did not find the right tag)
Am I missing something. Help me guys.
Thanks,
Vishnu Ganth
This error occurs because your browser sends request for NTLM authentication instead of kerberos.
In internet explorer follow below steps,
go to Internet Options
In security tab, select Local intranet.
Click Custom Level in the below, Make sure Automatic logon only in intranet zone under the User Authentication section.
In the Internet Options, select Advanced tab and make sure enable Integrated Windows Authentication selected under security section.
Once the above steps done, it will work on both internet explorer and google chrome.
If you are accesing it from the Cross realm, your widows-based clients should know the KDC location to create proper SPNEGO token. You need either create a separate policy in your AD for that type of users or you can manually from command line add mappings in client machine's registeries so that they would know about your Hadoop realm KDC:
ksetup /addkdc HADOOP.DOMAIN.COM hadoop.nodewithkdc.com
ksetup /addhosttorealmmap hadoop.nodewithkdc.com HADOOP.DOMAIN.COM
