I'm using JMeter 2.3.2 to test an IIS6 site with only NTLM auth enabled.
Client, server and Windows user are all in the same domain. In HTTP
Authorization Manager I specified another domain account/password to use
for authentication.
If I use HTTP Request HttpClient sampler, the server response is 500 -
internal server error. I have tweaked pre-emptive config according to
JMeter docs but it makes no difference.
If I use HTTP Request sampler, the authentication is performed using
Windows user acct, not the acct I specified in HTTP Authorization
Manager as supposed to. I used Wireshark to monitor the underlying
traffic and found the account specified in HTTP Authorization Manager is
supplied to server using Basic authentication (clear password) in first
request - the preemptive mode. The server rejected the request with 401
response; next round Windows account is provided in NTLM mode by JMeter.
In summary no matter what sampler I use, JMeter stumbled on NTLM
authentication and HTTP Authorization Manager didn't not perform as
expected.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Fred
