Recorded scripts in jmeter gives 401 Unauthorized error

Question

i am trying to load test my application. But when i try to run the recorded scripts through jmeter, i get 401 Unauthorized error only on few particular pages. The script runs while Login page but gives errors on other pages. I need to run this whole scenario using multiple users (CSV file) this is the Request Tab:

POST data: {"searchObject":{"LastName":"","FirstName":"","RoleId":"","StatusId":"","sortOrder":"Id","isAsc":"False","isInactivated":false,"tempDataFlag":"True"},"isSorting":"false","listName":"CreissStaffList"}

Cookie Data:

This is what the HTTP Request Page looks like: Path: /Admin/GetListData BODY PARAMETERS :

{"searchObject":{"LastName":"","FirstName":"","RoleId":"","StatusId":"","sortOrder":"Id","isAsc":"False","isInactivated":false,"tempDataFlag":"True"},"isSorting":"false","listName":"CreissStaffList"}

I am getting erros only on GetListData HTTP Request Pages Thanks in advance!

Add View Results Tree listener and inspect response details. If you don't see error message it doesn't necessarily mean that login succeeded, despite HTTP Response Code 200 the page may contain errors.
You may have to do some handling of the __RequestVerificationToken as at is anti-cross-site-forgery implementation and you'll need to do some correlation in order to bypass it. See How to Load Test CSRF-Protected Web Sites guide for comprehensive explanation and possible options.
