CAS with JMeter

[Dan Mindler]

I just caught up with this thread. I'm attaching a jmeter script we have in the hope it will help you out.

1. goes to the myRutgers uPortal welcome page
2. goes to the CAS sign-in page
3. submits userid/password (driven from a data file in form of "netid\tpassword"
4. retreives myRutgers portal login page 
5. waits random amount of time
6. logs out of portal

a. User Defined Variables - allows you to configure for your portal/cas setup
b. CSV Data Set Config - allows you to specify your netid/password data file
c. it retrieves data fields dynamically out of the CAS form/response

I'm not fully up to speed on jmeter yet, but it seems to work for us. Let me know if you have any questions (or suggestions for improvements).
