Hi I have a JSF app which is authenticated by windows domain user/password. When I manually open url I get windows authentication box and I enter my domain name and password. In IE I made it a trusted site, so it will not ask for authentication every time.
When I run JMeter script test the application I get session time out messages and it has me frustrated and the behavior is totally random. Questions: 1. How does JMeter script authenticate ( There is no specific instruction in script to login, but it seem to login fine.) 2. First screen always passes, and from second screen on it may pass or it may not pass. I put http header manager, made jsfViewState variable empty. 3. There are some variables like myform:j_id15:status which I do not have control, as developers may not put id and jsf is dynamically giving j_id15 kind of things. If I run for 1 user it mostly passes ( in tree view I get all green). Multiple users it fails. It says looking for some UI element and then in next instruction I get session time out. Last 6 hrs went in vain on weekend. Can you please give me some clue. Thanks Kumar
