Jmeter - Java.Net.SocketException

Question

I am running a Jmeter script on a web-application which is hosted on IIS and using ADFS authentication mechanism. For each request in Jmeter,it fails due to "Java.Net.SocketException ".

What I have done is: Used HTTP Authentication manager to provide credentials for each user from CSV data config element.But seems like still Jmeter is not logging-in.

Followed the documentation of Jmeter HTTP authorization manager but it looks like it's not login to the application

In the Jmeter log files -I see is :

org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthChallengeProcessor: ntlm authentication scheme selected 
2014/05/22 16:34:22 INFO  - org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector: No credentials available for NTLM <any realm>@DomainName:PortNumber ..

Can above exception occur due to authentication failure ?

Please suggest to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

You may have improper configuration of your HTTP Authorization Manager

As per AD FS 2.0: How to Change the Local Authentication Type ADFS can be configured to support following authentication types:

1. Integrated Windows authentication (IWA) - NTLM or Kerberos
2. Forms-based authentication (FBA)
3. Transport layer security client authentication
4. Basic authentication

Points 1 and 4 can be handled via HTTP Authorization Manager. See Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter guide for how-to.

Point 2 can be handled via correlation (i.e. Regular Expression Extractor)

Point 3 I believe it can be handled via Keystore Configuration
