Jmeter Recording of scripts behind Proxy

0
votes

I need to perform JMETER TEST and Record a WEB Login Page, my company is behind the proxy. If I change the proxy and port of the Firefox to 8080, My Application doesn't launch.

If I don't change the proxy in Firefox, Then the recorder doesn't record the script.

I tried with IE, Where due to corporate policy, I cant change the policy and it is disabled.

How I get out of this situation?

You need to keep Firefox proxy settings to point to JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, i.e. server name should be localhost, port should be 8888

In its turn JMeter needs to be configured to use your corporate proxy, it can be done in 2 ways:

  1. Via command-line parameters, like:

    jmeter -H your_corporate_proxy_host -P your_corporate_proxy_port -n -t ...

    this way the change will be applied only once

  2. If you want the changes to be permanent you can add the following lines to system.properties file (located in the "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)

    http.proxyHost=your_corporate_proxy_host
http.proxyPort=your_corporate_proxy_port
https.proxyHost=your_corporate_proxy_host
https.proxyPort=your_corporate_proxy_port
