Hardware and performance

Thanks for posting the test plan file. It really helped me to target what was lacking in the JMeter Test Plan exported from a system I was testing. The token, cookie, and cache manager settings helped to get mine going. Then my users were getting logged in successfully with continuous sessions. For others working through this, setting https as the value in the Protocol [http] will help also for sites redirecting http to https. I was able to use the latest JMeter 5.4.1, Java 8, using the GUI app (jmeter.bat) on a Windows10 client machine w/ 16GB RAM, i7, and 2 GPUs with no issues while JMeter was running. I did not use the CLI. I also ran my test with 100 users.
