Jmeter - retrieve embedded resources for url with username:pwd

Question

I have my Web Server/IP as

      http://username:password@site/path

in my HTTP Request Page in JMeter. I have checked "Retrieve Embedded Resources" in the page. The resources that are retrieved just show up as

       http://site/path 

and hence fails with a 404 Authentication error. How should i set up for the embedded resources also to include the username and password.

Answer 1

1. Remove username and password from your URL
2. Add HTTP Authorization Manager to your Test Plan and provide username and password there

HTTP Authorization Manager will automatically add basic authentication header to all requests including embedded and it should resolve the issue.
