I try to conduct load tests of a web application. I am having problem with authorization when I hit api request i got 401 even though I am logged in/authorized.
I know that problem is that when I hit API in request headers there are being send some cookies. There is user.id and my HTTP cookie manager is not grabbing it. It grabs only one another cookie. The user.id is being generated by Warden manager.
JMeter requests
Real request
I have been trying setting CookieManager.save.cookies=true and CookieManager.check.cookies=false in user.properties.
Script was generated by Blazemeter.
Your screenshots don't tell the full story.
What HTTP Cookie Manager is doing is:
Extracting cookies from Set-Cookie response header and stores them internally
On subsequent request(s) if the domain and path match, the cookie is not expired, etc. the HTTP Cookie Manager adds the cookie(s) to Cookie request header
If JMeter doesn't send the Cookie header you're expecting it to send - most probably there is a problem with the cookies, you can enable debug logging for the HTTP Cookie Manager by adding the next line to log4j2.xml file:
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control" level="debug" />
and then inspect jmeter.log file for any suspicious entries
It might be the case choosing less restrictive policy, i.e. netscape will help to work around the problem:

I am new to JMeter and creating JMeter scripts on .Net Framework version 4.5.
I am facing a challenge or issue that how to extract/capture values like .ASPXAuth, AuthToken, Sesson ID generating on login into web application as Cookie Data but unable to use the same in the subsequent requests as there is no parameter available in Requests.
Actually, I need to extract the cookie data value from response header and to use it further in the subsequent requests. Please share the steps to do the same.
If you need to add cookies support to your JMeter script just add a HTTP Cookie Manager to your test plan.
The HTTP Cookie Manager automatically extracts the cookies from the Set-Cookie response header, checks their validity and adds them to the next request if domain and path of the HTTP Request samplers match the Cookie's domain and path.
So in the majority of cases it's sufficient to just add the HTTP Cookie Manager in order to get browser-like behaviour when it comes to cookies handling.
If you need to use the values of the cookies somewhere else, i.e. in a request parameter you can add the next line to user.properties file:
CookieManager.save.cookies=true
upon JMeter restart the incoming cookies values will be stored as JMeter Variables so you will be able to access the value of .ASPXAuth cookie as ${COOKIE_.ASPXAuth}, the value of AuthToken cookie as ${COOKIE_AuthToken}, etc.

Action:
Login page enter a username and password, after that .ASPXAUTH cookie set and these are maintain all the rest of the http request
The above said cookie (.ASPXAUTH) not stored in cookie section.
Please refer the screen shot
Response header set a .ASPXAUTH cookie
Once we pass the valid credentials request header (get method) maintain the same cookie throughout the session
Recorded the above login in jmeter while running the .ASPXAUTH cookie not set.
Let me know how can I handle this?
Try using cookie manager for managing the cookie automatically. This will take care of your cookies and it works in most of the cases.You can also check the below URL on how to build a basic web test plan.
https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/build-web-test-plan.html
Hope it helps.
Try the following steps:
Uncomment the next line in log4j2.xml file:
<Logger name="org.apache.jmeter.control" level="debug" />
This way you will have way more information regarding what's going on with the HTTP Cookie Manager under the hood
Play with "Cookie Policy" dropdown values, i.e. try netscape which is less restrictive than standard which is "too"-RFC 2109-compliant
Try adding the next line to user.properties file:
CookieManager.check.cookies=false
It will suppress JMeter's cookies validation logic.

I successfully recorded a site that uses SAML Authentication Request and Single Sign On to Login. This site is using a proxy. So, I recorded it using a proxy.
When I played back the record, it successfully login but when I played back for the second times (I run after waiting for 5 seconds), it failed to login. If I checked, the difference is in the Cookie, however I already used HTTP Cookie Manager:
successfully login
failed login
If we can see the pictures above that the difference is the cookie.
So how to keep the session cookie?
JMeter automatically checks cookies integrity, as per HTTP Cookie Manager documentation:
JMeter checks that received cookies are valid for the URL. This means that cross-domain cookies are not stored. If you have bugged behaviour or want Cross-Domain cookies to be used, define the JMeter property "CookieManager.check.cookies=false".
There are 2 ways of "defining" the aforementioned property:
Add the next line to user.properties file (located in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
CookieManager.check.cookies=false
JMeter restart will be required to pick the property up
Override the property via -J command-line argument
jmeter -JCookieManager.check.cookies=false -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl

I am fairly new to Jmeter and hence having trouble figuring out the following:
I am testing a web service that needs a valid cookie to be sent in header. I have an endpoint url against which the userid and password validates. How do I validate the credentials against the url and extract the cookie for the user and send it in header for the request in Jmeter?
JMeter provides HTTP Cookie Manager which automatically handles cookies so in the majority of cases you don't need to do anything apart from adding the HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan
However in some cases, i.e. in some CSRF implementations you need to add a request header holding previous response specific cookie value. In that case you should be acting like:
Add the next line to user.properties file (lives in JMeter's "bin" folder
CookieManager.save.cookies=true
Restart JMeter to pick the property up. The above setting "tells" JMeter to store cookie values as JMeter Variables prefixed by COOKIE_. So for example if you have cookie with the name of foo you will be able to access its value as ${COOKIE_foo}
Add HTTP Header Manager and set it up to send the desired header using ${COOKIE_foo} as a value (replace foo with your actual cookie name)

I'm setting a cookie in a response from my web service. The set-cookie header is coming through, and I can see the cookie in the network tab in Chrome, but the cookie isn't being stored. It doesn't show up in the resources->cookies tab, and the cookie isn't sent with subsequent requests. Nothing shows up in the JS console. I've also tried leaving the domain field off the cookie, but it still isn't stored.
Is there a way to debug the browser to understand why the cookie was rejected from being stored?
Turns out it had to do with the way I was making the request. I expected fetch() to work the same way as XHR requests. Setting credentials: 'include' on my fetch call resolved the problem. See 5.6.14 of the fetch spec
