I have a few WCF Services with wsHttpBinding with TransportWithMessageCredential security. Windows credentials must be provided on each request and therefore are used for authentication (by design by AD), authorization (with AD by AZman) and to identity the user who performed the action (auditory purposes).
The thing is now I need to perform some load tests on these services, using Jmeter, and I'm strugling how can I authenticate the user for each request, I was wondering if anyone had ever mede this?
I really need to test with this security concern because the authentication and authorization processes are part of the load tests itself. I could remove them but then the load tests wouldn't be accurate.
The solutions I have in my mind are:
Out of box JMeter doesn't support any SOAP security implementations so you might want to use i.e. WS Security for SOAP plugin
You should be able to provide your Windows credentials via SOAP Message UsernameToken
and the plugin will generate the relevant wsse:Username token
