problem with jmeter & session id's
i'm trying to connect from one site to another. The 2nd site assigns a
session id to the header, however it's responding with with "session
expired". I've added a reg exp extractor under the http request that looks
like this. The session id comes after 2000, but it doesn't work. How do i
get and supply my session id to all http requests in my script?

+1
Additionally: The link to the oracle apex docs states, that the session
id as parameter is one of a few places the session id can be given. A
cookie is mentioned, so adding a cookie manager should be the easiest
solution for managing the session. You will still have to get rid of
recorded static ids and managing other (probably) needed state variables.
I have found a few links regarding JMeter (recorded scripts) and Oracle
APEX:
*
https://community.oracle.com/tech/developers/discussion/4476826/apex-with-jmeter-again
* https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50251882/login-test-with-jmeter
The page
https://krisrice.io/2017-06-29-parameterizing-jmeter-for-testing-apex/ a
page is mentioned, that is used to get the initial session. That page is
used with a PostProcessor to get the corresponding state variables
p_instance, p_flow_id, ... Those values (JMeter variables) have then to
be used in the following requests everywhere, where static values were
recorded.
In your first picture, the variables would have to be placed in the
column value. For example the first row should look like
p_flow_id | ${p_flow_id} | [ ] | text/plain | [/]
(If you extracted the flow id into the variable p_flow_id as done in the
blog entry (the extraction can probably be done by other extractors, too))

I don't think, that you extract the password from the request. You
should know it upfront. Provide it directly using a user defined
variable or by a csv file and use a csv data set config.

Re: problem with jmeter & session id's
Posted by Troy Conner <co...@gmail.com>.
Hello, according to Oracle Jmeter will needs session id, page submission
id, page items protected. It will also need username & password in json
field. When I put a debugger sampler on the request it shows me the
username and password, but I can't tell which parameter is retrieving this.
According the video the username and password are hidden in the "p_json"
value field, how do I extract that. I added the other parameters to the
http request, except "p-debug."

Re: problem with jmeter & session id's
Posted by Mariusz W <ma...@gmail.com>.
Hi,
Troy, is this Test Plan created from recording proxy in JMeter? Maybe
session Id is not enough to make another steps in application? Have You
checked all constant values in request headers/bodies?

Hello Felix,
Thanks for the response. These screenshots may be able to help you to see
my problem better. Can you let me know what I need to do to resolve this?
pic 1 - This is the http request. Do I add the "sess" from the reg exp ext
to this list? if so, can you send me an example of how that should look
when done?

That depends on your server implementation.
(I think you meant Request/Response) The Response header is filled by
the servers answer to your request. The Request header is filled by the
client (in this case JMeter).
If the session id is in the Response header, that usually means, that
the server has "approved" the value, that the client sent. Can you show
both headers?
Have you talked to the developers of the server software? Can they tell
you, how to correctly send the session id?

Re: problem with jmeter & session id's
Posted by Troy Conner <co...@gmail.com>.
Also, the session id is contained in the Request/Request Headers. Do you
think that's right?

I don's see the http request. Have you included it here somewhere?
If you still use the same values in the regex extractor for the
template, the newly created JMeter variable should have the correct part
of the header as value.
Apart from that. Do you know, how to give the session id to your server?
You are extracting the id from the referer header, which is set
automatically by a browser with the URL, from which your request
originated (that refer(r)ed you to the new page). Maybe you don't have
to set a header, but rather give the parameter p with the value of the
complete value?

Re: problem with jmeter & session id's
Posted by Troy Conner <co...@gmail.com>.
when i put p=2000:24\:([^:]+) into the reg exp extractor the session id is
part of the response data/response body for the debugger. Does this mean
it's successfully extracting the session id? Below is the http request. Is
this where I put the variable to point to the reg exp extractor?

Re: problem with jmeter & session id's

Is the session ID in the Request header or the Response header?
You can try adding more of the surrounding context to minimise matching
content that is not the target value. eg. "p=2000:24\:([^:]+)", assuming
the "2000:24" prefix is constant.
To use the captured value, you would insert a variable reference in the
desired location, "${sess}" in this case.
JMeter will expand this reference with the value contained in the variable.

Owen

so i entered the below and now it's returning a lot of data, none of which
seem to be the session id. Yes, the session id is in the header. what do i
put in the other requests to have them use that extracted info?
24\:([^:]+) and now it's returning a lot.

Re: problem with jmeter & session id's

You are missing a quantifier on the regex so it only matches the first
digit but that is not followed by a colon so the entire match fails
(although you appear to have one in the screen shot in your first email).
Try this regex "24\:([^:]+)". I find https://regex101.com to be very useful
in debugging/optimising regex's.
Also in the screen shot you have the extractor set to get the value from
the request headers. Is that correct?

When I add debug sampler after the Reg Exp extractor it doesn't return any

Hi Troy,
Are you using the captured value in the 2nd request?
Have you confirmed the value is being captured correctly?
Adding a Debug Sampler to your test after the 1st request will let you see
what value is being captured.
Then you'll need to add the value to your second request, the specifics
will depend on the nature of your request but in general will either be
added as a header via the Header Manager or a GET/POST parameter on the
sampler directly.
