Jmeter request works on local but getting 401 on distributed testing on VMS

Question

enter image description hereI have a jmeter login script,,,i send 2 requests, 1 is login -options where i get the cookie and save in a header variable,,second request is the login -post request which has credentials as payload and i also set the cookie from previus req and send as a header,,the script works well in local,but when i upload to master vm and test with slave i get 401 errors

since it it working on local,is there something i should add on vms?,also on local if i remove the header i also start getting the 401,so im guessing its something to do with the header:cookie

Answer 1

Can it be the case you didn't set CookieManager.save.cookies property to true on the slave machine? If not please do so because each slave has its own configuration and looking into your HTTP Header Manager setup you're relying on a cookie stored in the HTTP Cookie Manager and the aforementioned property needs to be set to true in order to make this approach work.

Another limitation could be:

Stripped mode family strips responseData so this means that some Elements that rely on the previous responseData being available will not work. This is not really a problem as there is always a more efficient way to implement this feature.

However I don't think it's your case.
