authorization

I am trying to imply the basic authentication process for a web service using JMeter. But everytime it throws out an error 401:Unauthorized. I tried using the HTTP Header manager to add a header Authorization and value to it. Still it does not work. I have also tried using the HTTP Authorization manager. Still no luck. Can someone help. I've found through debugging requests coming in from JMeter that the HTTP Authorization Manager module doesn't encode the username and password correctly. It puts a newline character after the username. To run a JMeter test against a Basic Auth protected

Correct me if I am wrong: In a traditional web application, the browser automatically appends session information into a request to the server, so the server can know who the request comes from. What exactly is appended actually?

How is this normally done? HTTP Protocol is stateless by design, each request is done separately and is executed in a separate context. The idea behind session management is to put requests

I'm developing an ASP.NET MVC 5 application. I have an existing DB, from which I created my ADO.NET Entity Data Model. I have a table in that DB which contains "username" and "password" column, and I want to use them to implement authentication and authorization in my Webapp; I cannot create any other database or table or column and I cannot use the standard Identity authentication, because of customer's requirements.

My Controller class is decorated with an AuthorizeAttribute to protect the actions: [Authorize(Roles = "User Level 2")] public class BuyController : Controller { ... } Anytime an action is invoked but the user is not in at least the role "User Level 2" he is automatically redirected to the login page with a url like this: http://localhost:1436/Account/Login?ReturnUrl=%2fBuy If the user is already logged in, but doesn't have the right security level, this is not an optimal behavior! It would make more sense to display a page which informs the user about the missing level instead of showing the
