Jmeter with basic authentication

I want to run a loadtest on a RestAPI which I can access via below java 

        name = "username";
        String password = "password";
        String authString = name + ":" + password;
        byte[] authEncBytes = Base64.getEncoder().encode(authString.getBytes()); //
        String authStringEnc = new String(authEncBytes);
        URL url = new URL(urlStr);
        URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection();
        urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + authStringEnc);

But in jmeter I am not able add this, new to jmeter please help.

Since JMeter 3.2, Basic Auth is provided Out Of The Box using HttpClient4 implementation and configured by default, see:

HTTP HC4 Implementation now provides preemptive Basic Auth enabled by default

Just add HTTP_Authorization_Manager and fill in required information.

Example:

enter image description here

  • Configuration will be:

enter image description here

This configuration will match any request starting with "http://localhost:8081"

Although my answer is downvoted for I don't know which reason, it is the best way to setup Basic Auth. Scripting is no more required at all since 3.2.

You can use the same code to generate the encoded credentials:

  1. Add HTTP Header Manager as a child of the relevant HTTP Request sampler
  2. Add JSR223 PreProcessor as a child of the relevant HTTP Request sampler

  3. Put the following code into "Script" area

    name = "username";
String password = "password";
String authString = name + ":" + password;
byte[] authEncBytes = Base64.getEncoder().encode(authString.getBytes()); //
String authStringEnc = new String(authEncBytes);
sampler.getHeaderManager().add(new org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.Header("Authorization", "Basic " + authStringEnc));

  4. Check Cache compiled script if available box

JMeter should now add the necessary "Authorization" header to your request.
