Jmeter - Java.Net.SocketException

Question

I am running a Jmeter script on a web-application which is hosted on IIS and using ADFS authentication mechanism. For each request in Jmeter,it fails due to "Java.Net.SocketException ".

What I have done is: Used HTTP Authentication manager to provide credentials for each user from CSV data config element.But seems like still Jmeter is not logging-in.

Followed the documentation of Jmeter HTTP authorization manager but it looks like it's not login to the application

In the Jmeter log files -I see is :

org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthChallengeProcessor: ntlm authentication scheme selected 
2014/05/22 16:34:22 INFO  - org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector: No credentials available for NTLM <any realm>@DomainName:PortNumber ..

Can above exception occur due to authentication failure ?

Please suggest to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance!!

Verify that there is not an opened session with same login and password used in jmeter test it's maybe the reason — Imen CHOK
@lmen - Thank-you for the suggestion.. I closed all the opened session with used login and password in Jmeter test..and re-started Jmeter and again executed the same test but I am getting the same error.. — user2766171
You are welcome, So verify your network connection, also verify that you are accessing to the right url with the write port number. did you use http(s) script recorder to record actions in the browser? — Imen CHOK
I will definitely verify the connection ,url and port details and let you know what happens and No, I have not used HTTP(s) script recorder to record actions in the browser .@lmen - Thank-you for your quick reply and help.. — user2766171

You may have improper configuration of your HTTP Authorization Manager

As per AD FS 2.0: How to Change the Local Authentication Type ADFS can be configured to support following authentication types:

Integrated Windows authentication (IWA) - NTLM or Kerberos
Forms-based authentication (FBA)
Transport layer security client authentication
Basic authentication

Points 1 and 4 can be handled via HTTP Authorization Manager. See Windows Authentication with Apache JMeter guide for how-to.

Point 2 can be handled via correlation (i.e. Regular Expression Extractor)

Point 3 I believe it can be handled via Keystore Configuration
