How do I correctly correlate a SAML header response in Gatling - saml

I am looking to automate a performance test containing SAML authenticated logins.
The tool I chose for the job is Gatling but I am fairly new to this tool.
Now I run into the issue that my script will not fetch the SAML response from the response header.
.exec(http("request_6")
.post("/isam/sps/AD_Europe_SAM_SP/saml20/login")
.headers(headers_6)
.check(headerRegex("SAMLResponse", "SAMLResponse=(.*)").saveAs("saml_response"))
.formParam("RelayState", "uuide0a0e23c-0168-1aea-bfd3-b405d391f0ea")
.formParam("SAMLResponse", Seq("""${saml_response}""").mkString))
I was hoping this would do the job and fetch the SAMLResponse from the header.
But all it returns is the following error:
request_6: Failed to build request: No attribute named 'saml_response' is defined.
The SAML response I am trying to correlate is located in the form-data section of the header.
If anyone can help me figure out how to capture this header value, that would be much appreciated.

I found out I was looking for the SAML response in the wrong request (POST)
Instead of the intended request (GET)
When I added the extract line of code:
.check(headerRegex("SAMLResponse", "SAMLResponse=(.*)").saveAs("saml_response"))
To the correct response (The GET request) the issue was solved.

Azure Data Factory - Web activity with header value containing comma failing

We are trying to ingest data from Amazon Selling Partner API. We currently have an azure function that signs our request and returns the header values. The authorization header contains commas in it and the comma causes the activity to fail on the client side.
Here is an exampleof the authorization header:
AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE/20130524/us-east-1/s3/aws4_request,SignedHeaders=date;host;x-amz-content-sha256;x-amz-date;x-amz-storage-class,Signature=98ad721746da40c64f1a55b78f14c238d841ea1380cd77a1b5971af0ece108bd
To reproduce, create a new pipeline and add a web activity. Enter "http://www.google.com" for the url with the method GET. Add a header like above.
You should get the following error:
Error calling the endpoint 'http://www.google.com'. Response status code: 'NA - Unknown'. More details: Exception message: 'NA - Unknown [ClientSideException] The format of value 'AWS4-HMAC-SHA256 Credential=AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE/20130524/us-east-1/s3/aws4_request,SignedHeaders=date;host;x-amz-content-sha256;x-amz-date;x-amz-storage-class,Signature=98ad721746da40c64f1a55b78f14c238d841ea1380cd77a1b5971af0ece108bd' is invalid.'.
Request didn't reach the server from the client. This could happen because of an underlying issue such as network connectivity, a DNS failure, a server certificate validation or a timeout.
Any work arounds for this?
Thanks,
Scott
If you are using Authorization as a header to get data make sure to use bearer in front of the Token.
Authorization Bearer < Access Token >
I tried to reproduce the same in my environment and got below results:

Jmeter error - "error":"unsupported_grant_type","error_description":"grant type not supported"

I was trying to setup Jmeter for Salesforce API testing. However getting the below error during Salesforce authorization:
"error":"unsupported_grant_type","error_description":"grant type not
supported"
I am passing the parameters as in the screenshots attached. The same parameters when passed in Postman works fine, however I am getting this error in Jmeter. Please let me know if I am making some error in passing the parameters in Jmeter.
Jmeter_HTTP Header Manager
Jmeter_HTTP Request
Jmeter_Sampler Result
According to HTTP Status Code 400 documentation
The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 400 Bad Request response status code indicates that the server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).
Looking into your request, you're sending Content-Type header as application/json therefore your server expects JSON and you're providing something different.
My expectation is that you should switch to Body Data tab of the HTTP Request sampler and set the request body to look like:
Check out REST API Testing - How to Do it Right article for more information on REST APIs testing using JMeter.
I struggle with the same issue but it finally worked for me by doing the following:
Use Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded in an HTTP Header Manager
Make sure is a POST Method and that you're using https
Not sure if it is necessary but in the Parameters tab make sure all (grant_type, password, client_secret_ client_id and username) are Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded and check the URL Encode option for all
Only check "Follow Redirects" and "Use KeepAlive" options in the HTTP Request
hope it works for you too

While running my RestAPI request I am getting headers required error

I am hitting my rest API in JMeter with 3 user ramp-up time is 5 second and in the HTTP header manager but in the response in View result tree I am getting error -
"errors":[{"id":"G_6143e7ac:15751914d3d:-7dff","level":"ERROR","type":"VALIDATION","message":"Invalid or incomplete PR4 header:\nRequired header Accept missing. \n"}]}
I am using headers as in the image, Please help me If anything is missing here.
The response clearly states that your request is missing Accept header.
It may also be worth moving HTTP Header Manager under HTTP Request sampler (as a child) to limit its scope only to parent just in case you need to send different headers for different requests. See Using JMeter's HTTP Header Manager article for details on manipulating request headers in JMeter tests

Why am I getting request method GET not supported?

I am using PostMan as a REST client to test this API method Cisco ACL Analysis API. specifically POST /acl/trace or getAClTracksStd (first go to Policy Analysis)
Here is my PostMan HTTP test call
Does anyone who is familiar with PostMan understand why I am getting this "Request method 'GET' is not supported" error from the server? I am making a POST HTTP request, not GET.(Selected from Drop down menu) It make more sense for me to get a input invalid parameter error or something.
Just to show that the endpoint url works, heres a HTTP test request that works
(same link, host->host API -> GET /host/{startIndex}/{recordsToReturn}
There's two issues that I'm seeing with your REST call. First, the error you're seeing is because the call needs to be preceded by "https://". Second, remove the interface IDs parameter and values. You should get a response with data after making these changes.
Your json looks erronuous (comma after the destIp) - and the server probably always responds with a default confusing error message in this case. (Postman is very well tested and it sends POST).

How send application/x-www-form-urlencoded params to a RestServer with JMeter?

I developed a rest server, and I put it to run in localhost, and I'm trying to perform tests with JMeter, sending requests posts and gets (depends of called method).
I already send to Rest server and got result with JMeter in simple post requests, get requests, sending files with post, and sending a Json with post.
But I don't know how to send a Form-UrlEncoded object to server. My Rest server consumes application/x-www-form-urlencoded, and I need to send 3 String parameters.
There's some way to set the MimeType for every parameter and perform the test ?
I'm using Jmeter 2.7
[Update]
I solved this by disabling the option:
use multipart/form-data for post
And enabling:
redirect automatically
Instead of:
follow redirect
The parameters I put normally in the table "Send parameters with the Request" with each respective names.
For sending form parameters as application/x-www-form-urlencoded, add a header parameter Content-Type with value application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
The following steps is aplicable for Jmeter 2.3.4
Add a HTTP Header Manager under your http Request.
Add new parameter to HTTP Header Manager with name Content-Type and value application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Uncheck "Use multipart/form-data for HTTP POST" of HTTP request.
Uncheck "Encode?" of each request parameter(not necessary).
kept "Content Encode:" text box of HTTP request as empty.
This won't work for PUT request.
For put request add parameters as path parameter and set Content-Type header then Jmeter will do by itself.
Here's the solution for HTTP POST with x-www-form-urlencoded testing with jmeter. You just folllow like these.
Go to Thread Group -> Add listener -> Views Result in table, View result Tree. To see the process of responding.
Have you tried to save your test using BadBoy or JMeter Proxy to see what your application actually sends?
To see what happens under the hood you can also use FireBug if you're using FireFox or Ctrl+Shift+i if you're on Chrome.
IllegalCharsetNameException will go immediately only after you will add the required content-type in HTTP Header Manager for HTTP request .
Hope this helps.
followed exact steps mentioned i still see an exception thrown
