Good afternoon,
APEX Version: 5.1.1
Database 12cR2
We are experiencing problems using Jmeter and automating the login procedure into a oracle apex application that has been built. The authentication being used is custom but there is no problem logging into the application in a user based environment.
We have followed this guide here but are struggling somewhat : http://krisrice.io/2017-06-29-parameterizing-jmeter-for-testing-apex/
What we are doing is as the guide suggested; grab the needed variables, going to the login page and running the log-in process. Sadly it is not successfully logging in and the application is going to an APEX error page stating that the session has expired and click here to create a new session. The error message in the apex log tables show this as much: ORA-20987: APEX - Your session has expired - Click <a href="f?p=468:1">here</a> to create a new session.
Looking at the logs it seems our Jmeter run gets a sessionID from the home page 1, navigates to login page 101 and tries to login using that sessionID obtained but is not logging in.

Does anyone have any experience with this tool and APEX to automate testing/login?
Thanks in advance
