'JMeter unable to login to web site

First off, I don't know how to really show you guys what exactly I'm working on nor can anyone actually hit the site because it's a private network where the website lives. Here is a screen shot of JMeter: enter image description here

I'm just trying to login to our website but under the View Results Tree node for the "/common/j_security_check" it is failing. Below is the info from the tabs:

Thanks for any help.

Solution 1:[1]

Try switching from Redirect automatically to Follow Redirects.

It looks like it's trying to redirect for authentication, which means you probably need a cookie manager as well.

Solution 2:[2]

I would also look at the actual traffic of a 'real logon' in a network sniffer such as Fiddler. Then I would look at the traffic that Jmeter is generating by going thru the same proxy sniffer (you can daisy chain proxies). I had a similar issue on one customers site and it turned out one of the requests was going to a SSO server which returned a Domain wide cookie that for some reason was not being managed by the standard Cookie Manager.
