As far as I know, JMeter does not really simulate multiple users. Instead, it simulates multiple instances (threads) of a single "user". I know it sounds a little confusing, but let me describe it better with a concrete example. [If any of this is incorrect, please correct me. We really need to clearly describe this in the user's guide.]
The HTTP Authorization table can contain many entries. However, JMeter does not randomly select a particular user to login as. Instead, JMeter looks at the Base URL you provide and the URL that you are requesting and. If there is a match, it will send a single (the first?) match that it finds. So, you could have five users with the same Base URL (for example, "/login"), but only one of these users will be chosen and it will be the same user every time. I can investigate it further. Henrik, if you could provide us with an example of why you would like multiple users, then that would help us. I can think of an example of where this could be a problem. Let's say that you have a system and you want to simulate 100 users. When you run JMeter, you will get 100 logins for the same user ID (defined in the Authorization table). The application may not allow a user to be logged in multiple times. I think we have a similar issue with cookies. Comments, questions?
