--- Comment #6 from Belén <belen.vign...@abstracta.com.uy> --- (In reply to Felix Schumacher from comment #5) > Ok, so as I see it, there are a few problems pointed out by this report: > > a) The java client for HTTP Sampler uses - under windows - the NTLM > Credentials of the user that runs JMeter if NTLM authentication is requested > by the tested server > b) The HttpClient implementation allows to answer NTLM requests when BASIC > mechanism is selected > c) The documentation refers to mechanism and it is unclear how it relates > to authentication > > For a) I tend to leave it that way, as I believe the old Java client is used > not that much and it probably behaves badly under Windows, only > > For b) should probably be mentioned in the docs, as changing it might break > existing test plans > > For c) enhancements in form of patches or text fragments to docs are always > welcome :) I agree with a) and c). About b) I would like to add that NTLM with HttpClient4 works also with BASIC_DIGEST and DIGEST mechanism (I'm not sure if these are intended as there is no NTLM mechanism to select and is not specified which mechanism should be used). Also BASIC and BASIC_DIGEST have a different behavior than DIGEST. The former send the NTLM credentials in every request, while the latter sends the credentials only in the first request. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
