My test plan is as follows,

And If run the above test plan the result is like this,

How to resolve this? Any suggestions please!!

Answer 1

It looks like Basic Authentication challenge. Add a HTTP Authorization Manager to your test plan and put authentication details in there.

Answer 2

You are using the incorrect authentication method for the server.

The way you have programmed jmeter will send a request to the server like:

http://localhost:9090/node?name=admin&pass=admin

However, your server is expecting a request like:

http://admin:admin@localhost:9090/

The former is an application authentication method, and the latter is server basic authentication method.

To provide the server with the correct request for Basic Authentication you can use the HTTP Authorization Manager, using your username and password. This will manage the entire security session for you during your tests. It will keep you logged on as you send further requests.
