I found the issue with your test - your server is expecting GET, not POST for passing the username and password. This is a bad practice I would suggest it be POST and over HTTPS.

How did I figure this out

  1. I used a SeleniumIDE + JMeter Recorder to simulate the traffic and record a Selenium and JMeter
  2. I played the test in JMeter and there was no issue.

If you want here is a copy of the Selenium recorded test plan and simple JMeter test plan for your site.
