JMeter Issue in VLAN enabled system - performance

Once my machine is VLAN enabled, I'm neither able to prepare new scripts using JMeter-2.9 tool nor able to execute my old scripts which I used to run earlier on the same machine.
Please find below error message I got while running the old scripts:

While recording a new test plan in my Windows machine, I'm able to navigate the different pages with HTTP Proxy server enabled in JMeter tool, but no HTTP request is getting recorded in the transaction controller.
Can anyone please suggest, how to overcome this issue ?

According to me issue is related to proxy.
Jmeter sits between your machine and proxy and thats how it records all the requests coming to and going from your machine. It doesnt matter you are in VLAN or WAN if your proxy settings are correct.
Please check your proxy settings once put apply similar proxy settings (Localhost,8080) in VLAN or else you can provide seperate proxy for your Jmeter by starting it with JMeter parameters,
Jmeter.bat -H <hostname> -P <port> -u <username> -a <pwd>

Receiving Error Code 307 while running Jmeter scripts behind proxy

I have to conduct a PT on a mobile application.
The recording was done from personal laptop where we didn't face any problem.
However, when we transfer the PT scripts to the testing network, we are facing the following error every time we run it:-
Error in Sample Result:-
Response code: 307
Response message: Authentication Required
Response headers:
HTTP/1.1 307 Authentication Required
Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 09:53:21 GMT
Proxy-Connection: close

Cache-Control: no-store
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Language: en
Error in Response Data:-
Authentication Required
Kindly help us as we have very less time to provide the results.
After several round of brainstorming, I have found out the solution.
Just ensure that the HTTP Request Implementation is set to "JAVA" and the "Redirect Automatically" is set checked-in.
The Scripts will run only for this combination.
If you're running JMeter behind the proxy you can pass credentials via command-line arguments like:
-H, --proxyHost <argument>
Set a proxy server for JMeter to use
-P, --proxyPort <argument>
Set proxy server port for JMeter to use
-N, --nonProxyHosts <argument>
Set nonproxy host list (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost)
-u, --username <argument>
Set username for proxy server that JMeter is to use
-a, --password <argument>
see Full list of command-line options for other keys which might be useful
It may be internal application under test authentication challenge, for instance it expects certain HTTP Header or Cookie. The easiest way to check it is recording the same actions one more time and inspect 2 JMX files for any differences. If they are - they need to be correlated.

Unable to login into application when using jmeter's recording controller

I'm able to login into the application, when I'm NOT recording the jmeter script using jmeter's proxy server (aka Test Script Recorder). But, as soon as I setup my browser to use jmeter's proxy server (aka Test Script Recorder) for recording, I'm NOT able to login into the application itself. I have tried adding a cookie manager, cache manager, etc.., but nothing seems to make a difference.
When NOT using the proxy (i.e., when not recording script), below are the 2 calls that are made by the browser to successfully authenticate (screenshot from Chrome developer tools):
When using jmeter's proxy (i.e., when recording script), below is the call. Looks like the call is not even made from the browser to the server, as even the remote address is not resolved and the request method is not shown.
I have recorded multiple scripts for authentication, but this is the first time I'm encountering this issue. And I've followed this guide step by step. What am I missing?
Taken from Jmeter manual,
If you are testing from behind a firewall/proxy server, you may need to provide JMeter with the firewall/proxy server hostname and port number. To do so, run the jmeter[.bat] file from a command line with the following parameters:
-H [proxy server hostname or ip address]
-P [proxy server port]
-N [nonproxy hosts] (e.g. *.apache.org|localhost)
-u [username for proxy authentication - if required]
-a [password for proxy authentication - if required]
Example : jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password -N localhost
You can also use --proxyHost, --proxyPort, --username, and --password as parameter names

Is greeting or handshake required when FTP data connection established?

I'm implementing a simple FTP server. When debugging, I try to use FileZilla client to connet my server. The request and response pattern found in the command panel is listed below:
GREETING: 220 (FTP v1.0)
REQUEST: USER ***
RESPONS: 331 Password?
REQUEST: PASS ********
RESPONS: 230 login successfully.
REQUEST: PWD
RESPONS: 257 "/a/" is current directory.
REQUEST: TYPE I
RESPONS: 200 Type set to I.
REQUEST: PASV
RESPONS: 200 127,255,0,0,175,200(I specify local port 45000)
REQUEST: LIST
RESPONS: 150 here is the listing
RESPONS: 226 Transfer done.
However, there is an error followed Fail to read directroy. I think the passive connection is indeed established since I can get stream on the socket(I implement the server in C#). But I have no idea why is the error. Is it because I should send some handshake/greeting information like those in the control connection instead of sending the data directly to sync server and client? If yes, what's the status code of this information?
Thanks and Best Regards.
There is no handshake on data connection.
Maybe 'Fail to read directory' error is a result of incorrect format of the folder list your server returns?

I have a Web Hosting Server with Full Access of Settings.

I don't know what is going wrong. My other FTP accounts for different servers is working good on the same FTP Client Software..
I've recently stumbled upon this issue too. I found none of the solutions I found within the first Google searches to be of no use, but luckily found a solution of my own...
In Site Manager change Encryption to "Only use plain FTP", mine were previously "Use explicit FTP over TLS if available".
FYI, the previous fixes I tried were:
Firewall configuration on the router - not possible due to work network and found is was only my PC.
Change something on Remote server to do with ports - Again, not
possible and was only my PC having the fault.
Switching Filezilla from Passive to Active - Didn't work
Using SSH instead - rejected
This issue is caused by firewall blocks passive connection port range where pure-ftp deamon listens
This issue can be resolved by adding passive port range in pro-ftpd.conf file as shown below
PassivePorts 60000 62000
Make sure mentioned passive port range is opened in TCP_IN of firewall allowed incoming ports
There are two solutions to this problem
change transfer mode from default to active
Use SFTP - SSH file transfer Protocol.
Both are done in site manger window. I am using the latest version of FileZilla Client with Windows 10. Changing both of these did NOT solve my problem!
Check your ftp config file, there uncomment and allow to use passive ports 30000 thru 35000.
pasv_min_port=30000
pasv_max_port=35000
Also add these ports range to your firewall TCP_IN and TCP_OUT (30000:35000).
I had same error when I using FileZilla on ubuntu. I get rid of the error by the following steps:
1. on FileZilla, open the top tab "Site Manager" page, on top right, select the "Transfer Settings" tab.
2. On "Transfer Settings" page, there are three Transfer mode:
"Default", "Active", and "Passive". Select "Active".
3. Try to connect again.

JMeter (Active?) FTP to VLTrader

Situation:
I'm using JMeter to load test my communications application (Cleo VLTrader). I'm new to JMeter, and have been able to get HTTP communication working, but not FTP. When I attempt to use a JMeter FTP Request sampler, I can see on the server side that the JMeter is issuing a "PASV" command, and failing shortly thereafter due to a "502 PASV command not available" error.
Question:
How do I need to configure my JMeter FTP Request sampler to connect to my FTP server?
1. Sorry for this but just to ensure: have you ensured that FTP connection succeeds manually, i.e. not from FTP Request in jmeter script but via console/telnet connection or any FTP client utility?
2. FTP Passive mode
Possible cause:
Since your FTP Request fails during PASV command execution can suppose that the root cause is that your ftp server doesn't support passive mode while jmeter's FTP Request uses passive mode by default.
To ensure this try to switch into Passive mode after connecting to your ftp from console,
e.g.
telnet your.ftp.server.url 21
USER yourusername
PASS yourpassword
PASV
or
ftp -d your.ftp.server.url
USER yourusername
PASS yourpassword
passive
or using any ftp client utility which have option to select mode (active/passive) for connection.
If the same issue appears during this - well, the problem is that your ftp server doesn't support passive mode which is used by FTP Request.
See e.g. this for explanation of differences in both the modes.
Possible solution:
As per jmeter sources:
ftp.enterLocalPassiveMode();
switch to passive mode is used by default and there is no possibility to set mode externally in FTP Request configuration screen.
But you can implement ftp request yourself, avoiding usage of FTP Request.
You can use FTPClient realization from Apache Commons Net and script ftp connection in BeanShell Sampler.
Very simplified this may look like:
import org.apache.commons.net.ftp.*;
FTPClient client = new FTPClient();
client.setDataTimeout(3600000);
client.connect(ftpHost,ftpPort);
client.login(userName, userName);
client.setFileType(FTPClient.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
...
// FTPClient uses 'active mode' by default
if (ftp_passive_mode) {
client.enterLocalPassiveMode();
} else {
client.enterLocalActiveMode();
}
...
client.logout();
client.disconnect();
Maybe also I'm wrong and the reason of your issue hides in another place.
Hope this will help you to diagnose and solve your problem.
