Quick notes on how to configure a JMeter test scenario for a JSF application protected by SiteMinder.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
For this example, we consider that the URL of our application is\u00a0http:\/\/serverName.corp\/AppContext<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Under thread group use HTTP request default :<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n path: \/AppContext\/<\/p>\n<\/li>\n and very important tick follow redirect !!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n We need the thread group to record SiteMinder related authentication and submit it with each request.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n implementation: HC4CookieHandler. This is important, the default does not work.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Base URL:\u00a0http:\/\/serverName.corp\/AppContext<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n user name: YouUserName<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Password: YourPassword<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Domain: YourWindowsDomain<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n This request allows to authenticate to SiteMinder prior to running the scenario. Nothing to configure in this request because root is the default target of our thread group.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Tick the option follow redirect<\/em> in this first request.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n By default, when recording the scenario, the values of JSF session are hardcoded in the script.<\/p>\n This will lead to errors in subsequent run because the Session ID and related session may have expired.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n We need to add an extractor to get the JSF session data out of server response and re-inject it in the following requests as a browser would do.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n If you forget this step, you are likely to encounter an error like “cannot restore view”<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Under first recorded request, add a JSF Regular Expression Extractor<\/p>\n Regular expression: template: default value (will be used if value cannot be extracted): \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Modify subsequent request to replace recorded (hardcoded) value of \u00a0<\/p>\n When using workbench, tick save workbench to embed it to the saved file.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Quick notes on how to configure a JMeter test scenario for a JSF application protected by SiteMinder. \u00a0 For this example, we consider that the URL of our application is\u00a0http:\/\/serverName.corp\/AppContext \u00a0 General setup \u00a0 Under thread group use HTTP request default : \u00a0 server name: servername.corp path: \/AppContext\/ and very important tick follow redirect !! … Continue reading “JSF JMeter SiteMinder”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5WcEf-48","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/le-moulin-de-verre.com\/fieldnotes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/le-moulin-de-verre.com\/fieldnotes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/le-moulin-de-verre.com\/fieldnotes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/le-moulin-de-verre.com\/fieldnotes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/le-moulin-de-verre.com\/fieldnotes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=256"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/le-moulin-de-verre.com\/fieldnotes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":259,"href":"https:\/\/le-moulin-de-verre.com\/fieldnotes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/256\/revisions\/259"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/le-moulin-de-verre.com\/fieldnotes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/le-moulin-de-verre.com\/fieldnotes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/le-moulin-de-verre.com\/fieldnotes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}General setup<\/h1>\n
