Question

I have to load test a site ,which is protected by ht-password ,i used the following methods

http://username:password@site/path
Name: Authorization Value: Basic [Base64-encoded username:password] string
http Authorization Manager -username and password given

But i failed to pass authentication using all these methods

Can anyone help ??

first you should understand what mechanism is used by server to authenticate user. analyze the HTTP request (use Browser -> F12 -> Network tab) and check the headers which are responsible for authentication (like Cookie, Authentication etc.) — Naveen Kumar R B

The correct way of bypassing Basic HTTP Authentication is using HTTP Authorization Manager configured like:

See How to Use HTTP Basic Authentication in JMeter article for more details and example configuration.

Note: above options will work for htpasswd-based authentication (or equivalent) only, if your server uses other mechanism - you will need different configuration.
