I have 2 opened tab in Postman. One tab calls login API, second calls protected page. If I call the second tab without calling the first I get "Bad request":
but I call the first before with valid credentials:
and the call the second again, then I get protected page:
Where is it and how to get it to set inside my application?
Cookies saved by postman can be viewed by clicking cookies button under Send button.
Refer this
Postman uses a javascript engine based on node js, so cookies are saved in the regular way nodejs does.
About how to use the cookies inside postman, you can use them like this:
console.log(postman.getResponseCookie('cookie name').value);
Here you can find an example of how to manipulate cookies using postman.
If you only want to inspect the cookies you can use the cookie manager.

I am trying to use the login from selenium to use in the next http request in jmeter. I currently have the below
My selenium script works perfectly and logs me into my website as per the below
WDS.sampleResult.sampleStart()
WDS.browser.get('https://www.testwebsite.com')
WDS.browser.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.linkText("Login")).click();
WDS.browser.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.id("username")).sendKeys("myusername");
WDS.browser.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.id("password")).sendKeys("mypassword");
WDS.browser.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.xpath("//button[#type='submit']")).click();
java.lang.Thread.sleep(5000)
WDS.browser.findElement(org.openqa.selenium.By.xpath("//*[contains(text(),'Skip for now')]")).click();
var cookies = WDS.browser.manage().getCookies()
java.lang.Thread.sleep(5000)
WDS.sampleResult.sampleEnd()
What i want to do is keep this session alive and then on the next request use something like this
GET - https://test/anotherpage.com
so i want it to recognise im still logged in. How can i keep the session alive so my jmeter http request can work?
In your WebDriver Sampler you need to store the cookies object into JMeter Variables like:
WDS.vars.putObject('cookies', cookies)
Add HTTP Cookie Manager to your Test Plan
Add JSR223 PreProcessor as a child of the HTTP Request sampler where you need to get the authentication context and put the following code into "Script" area:
def cookies = vars.getObject('cookies')
log.info('cookies=' + cookies)
cookies.collect { cookie ->
new org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.control.Cookie(cookie.getName(),
cookie.getValue(),
cookie.getDomain(),
cookie.getPath(),
cookie.isSecure(),
cookie.getExpiry().getTime())
}.each { cookie -> sampler.getCookieManager().add(cookie) }
This way you can copy the cookies from the browser to HTTP Request sampler so the request will be authenticated
More information: Modifying Cookies in JMeter with Groovy
Using cookies in selenium, which it looks like yuou've fetched all of them:
https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/en/support_packages/working_with_cookies/
YHou should be able to store those cookies, which should be enough to preserve your session.
https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/using-http-cookie-manager-jmeter
To save cookies as variables, define the property
"CookieManager.save.cookies=true". The names of the cookies contain
the prefix "COOKIE_" before they are stored (this avoids accidental
corruption of local variables). To revert to the original behavior,
define the property "CookieManager.name.prefix= " (with one or more
spaces). If enabled, the value of a cookie with the name TEST can be
referred to as ${COOKIE_TEST}.
That being said, you probably don't need to use selenium (and launch a full browser) to do the login, you could probably fire a simple http request to post the login form. This would be less over head

I tried to call an API from Postman and I give Username and password in authorisation tab in Postman and not working.
But I can access API data in the browser when I put the URL after successfully login with username and password as shown
So how can I give my credentials to postman to get API data?
Can you try to see what parameters it sends when requested via browser?
You can do that in Chrome:
Developer tools (Ctrl + Shift + I)
Network tab
XHR
Then send your request.
You'll be able to see request headers and body.
Then you can copy the parameters over to your postman call.
Most calls like that are using authorization token. You'll also be able to see if the token was requested in the separate call and if it was passed as a parameter.
Screenshot
I'm attempting to send data to an endpoint over POST and am running into an issue with the page since its protected by apache's htpasswd file. I am willing to have the user login to go to the page, however the issue is that with the ajax request that isnt happening. the login box does not show, so im unable to get it to log in. Im using angular 5 and the HTTPClient from #angular/common/http.
If you take the username and password and use the function btoa() to encode it, then send it off in the authorization header with every get and post, it solves the issue.
example:
header.set("Authorization", "Basic " + btoa("username:password));
I have a OData Server which returns me a json.
When I accessing the URL through a browser i need to input the username/password.
Doesn't accept the entries which I do in the pop-up. Need to cancel it and then it shows me a dialog box after which i can see the required json.
I am not able to figure out the kind of authentication in use.
Using basic authentication in Postman client is not working.
Any suggestions as to how do I go about using this URL both in postman and inside an Anuglar JS or Node JS program.
You can install interceptor in postman. Go to cookies tab next to body and install the interceptor then turn it on.After installing interceptor you can login with your user/pass and then send your request.
See this picture.enter image description here
Thanks for the input.
But I got access to the code implementation which is accessing the URI which I want.
So There is a Sharepoint/C# application in the universe which is doing a Forms based authentication to get the data required. :/
Will try to reverse engineer that get it working in my Node App.
Cheers. :)
Hi I'm making an android app that requires data that I need to login to a website to get. I've worked with JSoup before so I've been trying to use that for all of my html scraping here.
Basically the flow of things is I go to the login site using this code
LOGIN is the URL
Connection.Response res = Jsoup.connect(LOGIN)
.data("username", "/*username*/")
.data("password", "/*password*/")
.method(Method.POST)
.execute();
//get the cookies and save it in the sessionId string
Map<String, String> loginCookies = res.cookies();
Then later I'll go to another site and need to use the cookies. The problem is there's one cookie that I seem to be missing out on. I get the cookie that I have observed through the cookie monster addon to be added when just accessing the page, before pressing login. Then right after pressing log in there's another cookie added in the browser that is not in my app, and it is essential to maintaining my login status.
So how can I get this rogue cookie that is added after pressing the button?
I've looked at several postings on here and I've learned a lot about working with cookies,
Sending POST request with username and password and save session cookie
jsoup posting and cookie
Jsoup Cookies for HTTPS scraping
are the questions I've poured over already....
thanks in advance!
Solved this problem (I know, late response) I had to use a get method here i believe
