Not able to run Jmeter tests for Third party (Signicat) SSO login

Question

I am trying to run performance test using Jmeter for my client application which uses Signicat, a third part identity verification site for SSO login. I cannot get through with jmeter execution for login. There is a dynamic token appended in one of the http requests related to login but I cannot find it in any of the previous responses to correlate.

Has anybody tried Performance tests with Signicat or any other SSO login ? I appreciate any suggestions or leads. Thank you.

PS: I tried to monitor the traffic in fiddler while accessing the site . I don't see the token source there as well.

Unfortunately your question doesn't contain sufficient level of details.

If you're seeing the dynamic token there are following possible options:

1. It needs to be correlated (extracted from the previous response), the possible sources are:

   • URL (as a part of a redirect)
   • response headers
   • response body

2. It needs to be generated, if the dynamic value is being generated by client-side JavaScript JMeter won't be able to execute the JavaScript, you will have to replicate the code using JSR223 PreProcessor and preferably Groovy as the language in order to generate the same value as the real browser does

Looking into Connecting your application chapter there are several possible protocols/options and it will require rather a story than a chapter to provide comprehensive instructions on each of them:

for some of them like "Other third party software" it is not even possible doing this remotely without knowing the infrastructure and the authentication/authorization processes.
