Digest Authentication not working in JMeter

I wanted to have digest authentication Authorization header added in very http request and hence added HTTP Authorization Manager under thread group. I added URL,username, password, domain, realm (both to same name) and selected BASIC_DIGEST as the option (I wanted only digest authentication).

I also uncommented http.authentication.preemptive$Boolean=true in httpclient.parameters and uncommented httpclient.parameters.file=C:\apache-jmeter-2.12\apache-jmeter2.12\bin\httpclient.parameters in jmeter.properties file.

After done, I closed my jmeter and started it again. When I gave a run and did a wireshark capture, I figured out that GET was sent with NO Authorization header, and server sends a 401 response and jmeter closes socket and fails the case.

I am not sure what I have done wrong. Awaiting for your comments.

  1. Realm should not be required for digest authentication, domain is quite enough
  2. Make sure that you're using either HttpClient3.1 or HttpClient4 implementation
  3. See Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter guide for details on how to configure HTTP Authorization Manager for digest and kerberos authentication types
