Web login with jmeter

[stlukesjg <ge...@slhn.org>]

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to create a request that would simulate a
user logging in?  I want to load test something that i built but there is a
login screen before you get to the meat of the application.

I tried using the HTTP Request and setting the Method to POST and adding in
my form parameter values but it just goes to the login page and that's it.

Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

John

Learn the things that are mentioned in the links below:

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/build-web-test-plan.html

The above link shows you an example on how to login into your 
application and then do the desired tasks.

Then , other useful thing that i use for the similar purpose is:

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Proxy_Server

It will make your job a lot easier. It will record the tasks that you 
normally do using your web browser and create samples for it. Copy the 
recorded samples into your test plan and you are ready to go. Also make 
sure to add cookie managers if your session tracking is done using cookies.

Thanks
Jatin

Yes it should be possible.
a. Common source of problem is not adding a Cookie manager since most
systems manage session ids using cookies.
b. You have redirect automatically on your samplers, you should change to
follow redirects
If that doesnt work use a tool that can tell you what the browser sends and
receives , Live HTTPHeaders in FF or Fiddler in IE and compare with what
your jmeter test sends (using View results tree listener)

Also search the archives for Jmeter, this comes up many times
