Logging into Microsoft Passport using JMeter

[Alan Chan <al...@messagecast.net>]

Hi everyone,

 

Does anyone know if I can use JMeter to login to Microsoft Passport?

I am trying to create a test plan that involves having to login to
Microsoft Passport.

 

Here are the steps that I'm having trouble automating using JMeter:

 

1.) Go to http://alerts.passport.com <http://alerts.passport.com/>
<http://alerts.passport.com/>

 

2.) Click on MSN Autos link -- I will be taken to 

http://login.passport.net/uilogin.srf?id=6677

 

3.) Then I would type in a Passport ID and password, then hit Sign 

In button. I should be able to successfully sign into Passport, but this
is where I am having trouble, because if I use JMeter I am unable to
sign in. I know that I am unable to sign in because I am unable to get
to the next page, and the Sign In button does not turn into a Sign Out
button. I suspect there is an issue here with cookies, but I am not
sure. 

 

How can I use JMeter to do these three steps?

 

I tried looking for answers in the JMeter-user mailing list archives,
but could not find any. The only thing I can think of trying is to get
BadBoy software and see if it can record the whole process for me and
then convert it into JMeter script/XML.

 

I am using JMeter 1.9.1.

 

Thanks,

Alan Chan
