Getting exception org.jivesoftware.smack.SmackException$NoResponseException and not getting response from XMPP server while login using JMeter

[Nitish Kumar]

Hi,

I am using XMPP server (openfire 4.7.3) and able to connect - login - disconnect using client application Spark 2.9.4 .

In JMeter I am able to connect and disconnect to XMPP server (openfire 4.7.3), but while login I am getting the below error in JMeter :

I have tried by increasing the timeout to 16 minutes that is 1000000 milliseconds. 
I have also added  sasl.mechanism=PLAIN  in my jmeter's "bin/user.properties" file .
I have also tried by replacing the smack-core-4.0.7.jar and smck-tcp-4.0.7.jar library with smack-core-4.1.3.jar . 

JMeter plugin used for XMPP ->   jmeter-plugins-xmpp-1.5.1.jar

None of the above solutions are working for me and I am stuck with my script creation . 

It would be a great help If anyone can provide the steps to resolve this issue in JMeter. 

Thanks,

hello,

I am also using similar versions of openfire and spark and facing the same issue. And after further debugging I realised that the JMeter during the authentication, uses STARTTLS, however the local Openfire xmpp server that I am using is http and doesn't use SSL. I have tried disabling SSL by adding server.rmi.ssl.disable=true to my jmeter.properties and user.properties file, yet it still uses STARTTLS during authentication. How can I change it to SASL?

If you have resolved this or have any solution for my problem, please let me know

Thanks.
