I've got session expired due to inactivity error on jmeter script execution.
Could anyone please tell me what will be causing the problem.
In case of Java or .NET web application it may be cause by incorrect VIEWSTATE value - dynamic mandatory parameter reflecting current state of things on the webpage or something like this.
If it is the case you need to correlate the variable. See ASP.NET Login Testing with JMeter guide for detailed explanation on the domain.

I have a JMeter test script that performs logon to a website. I can see the POST request with the appropriate information, but it seems the session is lost after that point, as the next step goes to the homepage expecting to be authenticated but isn't. Any ideas? I can post the code if necessary. I do have a cookie manager configured.
Most probably it's due to missing or improperly implemented correlation, cookies might be not the only one dynamic parameter which you need to take care of, modern web applications widely use others for i.e. client-side state tracking or security purposes.
So inspect your test script and check for parameters which are dynamic, the easiest way is recording the same scenario once again and comparing resulting .jmx scripts. Everything which differs is a subject to correlation.

I am new to JMetet and I am having a lot of difficulties in understanding how it works.
I created a TC to add an object to my system using Blaze meter. Then, I imported the TC in Jmeter.
This TC fails when it should not (at least thats what I think) because whenever I use the system it works correctly:
This is the thread group if you need it to help me:
Am I doing something wrong? AM I missing something?
IMPORTANT: Should I be able to see my object added to the system if the TC passes?
As per HTTP Status Code 403 Forbidden description:
The HTTP 403 Forbidden client error status response code indicates that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.
This status is similar to 401, but in this case, re-authenticating will make no difference. The access is permanently forbidden and tied to the application logic, such as insufficient rights to a resource.
If your script assumes authentication most probably it fails somewhere somehow due to missing or improperly working correlation, for example this eedd968fe... bit
looks utterly suspicious, most probably you need to replace it with a some form of dynamic parameter extracted from the previous request using a suitable JMeter Post-Processor
Normally the flow looks like:
Open login page
Identify and extract all dynamic parameters and save them into JMeter Variables
Send the parameters along with credentials in the 2nd request

While doing performance testing for Oracle Application, facing the Insufficient Privilege error on submitting one of the form from Jmeter. There is no issue manually in application not any error in debug logs. This is happening only from Jmeter. Have checked with Fiddler no requests are getting missed and also all the correlations are in place.
JMeter error :
You have insufficient privileges for the current operation. Please contact your System Administrator.
Most probably you're simply not getting logged in. Double check the following:
HTTP Cookie Manager is added to your Test Plan. In some cases you will need to add CookieManager.check.cookies=false line to user.properties file or amend Cookie Policy to something less-restrictive, i.e. netscape. Check out HTTP Cookie Manager Advanced Usage - A Guide
Make sure that you perform correlation of dynamic request parameters. Pay attention to literally everything as parameters may be present as a part of the URL, or it may be a HTTP Header
Run your test with 1 user and monitor the request and response details using View Results Tree listener. Check Response Data tab for each request to ensure that your test is doing what it is supposed to be doing
Make sure to compare the requests originating from JMeter and from the real browser, normally if you're sending the same requests - you should be receiving the same responses. Pay attention to redirects
i am using the govt site.
after correlation facing the issue as "HTTP Status 500 - Unable to do Single Sign On or Federation" facing this while replaying the script in Jmeter. suggest me how to handle this. your suggestion so valuable for me.
It appears that you are trying to load test application which uses Federated identity, most likely SAML .
It means you won't be able to record and replay your test scenario without performing advance correlation of dynamic parameters. Correlation stands for process of extracting the dynamic parameter from previous response using Post-Processor, saving it into a JMeter Variable and adding as a parameter to the next request so your Test Plan should look like:
See How to Load Test SAML SSO Secured Websites with JMeter article for detailed JMeter configuration of the extractors and variables.
I am trying to automate testing of a web application.
I have recorded the test using JMeter proxy template (JMeter version is 3.2) and couple of times when I ran the test in the JMeter it ran properly but after sometime only some part runs properly.
Following are the steps I am doing:
Hitting the URL
Logging into the application
changing some feature in the application
and so on.
All the steps ran perfectly first few times but then after that only till login everything runs properly.
Just to be sure I tried passing the jsessionid from the first request to the next requests using the Regular "Expression Extractor". I can see in the View Results Tree that jsessionid is passed properly but next page after the step two still takes me into the login screen.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
I have attached screenshot for better understanding:
The response header of logged in page includes a sessionid which is used by another request while logging in.
All the sessionID are properly maintained still after logging in the next page takes me to the login page instead displaying what was done next in the recording.
When it comes to load testing of JSF-based web applications you need to take care at least of the following dynamic parameters:
JSESSIONID
javax.faces.Viewstate
JSESSIONID is a normal HTTP cookie so it is quite enough to add a HTTP Cookie Manager to deal with it
javax.faces.Viewstate is client state management mechanism which also acts as a security token to verify user's origin. So you will need to properly correlate it, i.e. extract from previous response using one of JMeter PostProcessors, store into a JMeter Variable and add as a parameter to the next request. Remember to do this for each and every request.
There might be more application specific dynamic parameters, the easiest way of detecting them is recording the same request (or scenario) 2 times, compare the recorded scripts, detect and work around the differences.
