How to configure Jmeter to handle www-authenticate: Negotiate header 'kerberos'

I need to performance test a SSO based application which uses Kerberos authentication. In my jmeter tool I have added Http Authorization manager and configured krb5 and jaas config files in bin folder.

While re-playing I am getting '401' and the response header contains 'www-authenticate: Negotiate'.

This was handled by the browser and the Load runner tool. In load runner, after configuring krb5.ini file, I was able to get the access token.

Can anyone tell me how to generate this Negotiate token in jmeter

  1. Make sure to select KERBEROS as the "Mechanism" in the HTTP Authorization Manager

    enter image description here

  2. Provide all other values like username, password, domain and realm

  3. Make sure to use HttpClient4 implementation under HTTP Request Defaults

    enter image description here

  4. krb5.conf and jaas.conf settings must match your application setup
  5. You might also want to set sun.security.krb5.debug property to true under system.properties file of JMeter installation and inspect messages in the console
