Not able to open Plugin Manager in Apache JMeter 1.6 - jmeter

I have downloaded the Plugin Manager for JMeter from the following link,
https://jmeter-plugins.org/wiki/PluginsManager/
previously it worked fine for me, I never had to do any proxy settings or any changes, but now when I download and try to open it in Jmeter, it gives me the following error:
JMeter version - 5.4.1

It looks like you're behind a corporate proxy which uses MITM certificate to intercept and decrypt secure traffic between your machine and Internet (or other machines in Intranet)
The certificate is not known to Java therefore Plugins Manager cannot securely connect to its repository.
The options are in:
Import the certificate as the trusted certificate and point JMeter to use the truststore containing this certificate via javax.net.ssl.trustStore system property
Configure JMeter Plugins Manager to use HTTP protocol for communicating with the plugins repository, it can be done by adding the next line to user.properties file:
jpgc.repo.address=http://jmeter-plugins.org/repo/

Unable to access plugins manager in jmeter

I am trying to access the plugins manager but keep getting this error
I am using apache-jmeter-5.4.1, and have manually download jmeter-plugins-manager-1.6.jar, and put it into the lib/ext folder. However, I am still encounter this issue.
unable to find valid certification path to requested target error means that JMeter's Plugins Manager cannot securely connect to its plugins repository, the address is https://jmeter-plugins.org/repo/
It means that the certificate has expired, it's not trusted by CA, there is a mismatch between issuer and dns address, etc. As there are thousands of the JMeter Plugins Manager users and only you reported this issue in last 12 hours I think it is your problem, like you're working for a shitty company which is using MITM certificate for monitoring your networking activity and JMeter Plugins Manager complains that the certificate should not be in the chain.
You can diagnose the issue by either adding javax.net.debug=all line to JMeter's system.properties file (lives in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation) or using external tool like openssl
If you don't care about the root cause in the slightest and OK with your employer or ISP or government monitoring your traffic given you can open the plugins repository URL in the browser - you can just obtain the certificate, install it into the truststore and configure JMeter to use the truststore.
Please check your proxy setting to access the internet.
You have downloaded & set up plugin manager but plugin manager is unable to access repo via your current internet proxy setting.
I hope you have switched off your recording settings(localhost:8080 set up to record).

SSL Handshake Exception while Load test using Jmeter in Jenkins

Hi I am integrating the Jmeter with the opeshift pipeline using Jenkins to test my API(https). When the Jmeter is trying to send the request to the API I am getting following error:
Non HTTP response code: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException - Non HTTP response message: java.security.cert.CertificateException: No name matching <> found
I have tried steps to ignore the SSL certificate verification but I am unable to bypass the process.
I have created a spring boot project to run the load test as a pipeline. I am using <groupId>com.lazerycode.jmeter</groupId> and using the the jmeter file with extension .jmx to run in jenkins.
As per SSL Encryption chapter of JMeter Documentation:
The JMeter HTTP samplers are configured to accept all certificates, whether trusted or not, regardless of validity periods, etc. This is to allow the maximum flexibility in testing servers.
If the server requires a client certificate, this can be provided.
So by default JMeter will trust all certificates no matter of their validity, incomplete chain, subject not matching dns hostname, etc.
If might be the case that your application requires JMeter to send client certificate for security reasons, it can be done either using SSL Manager or providing the relevant system properties pointing to the keystore where the certificate lives.

JMeter Plugin Manager installation issue

While associating J-Meter plugin jar file in lib/ext folder of J-Meter Setup,I am getting SSL certificate error after clicking 'Plugin manager' from 'Options' Menu.Could you please assist me for the same?
Thanks

Most probably you're behind the corporate proxy which uses an SSL certificate for securing the traffic between itself and clients.
Java uses cacerts file to check the validity of the SSL certificates and you're getting this error because the certificate is not known to Java.
The solution would be obtaining the certificate from the proxy server (it can be done using either OpenSSL or just a web browser) and adding it to the Java cacerts
You can also try downloading Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files, it might be enough to resolve your issue.

NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID Error with Chrome 66 using Apache JMeter as Proxy

Above mentioned privacy error is displaying while I tried to record some scenarios in Apache JMeter 4.0. I have installed ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA certificate in my local bin path of JMeter folder and imported in Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder in chrome.
And myself using Chrome : Version 66.0.3359.27 (Official Build) dev (32-bit) to recording purpose in JMeter. Also given 8080 as a port number in both proxy settings in chrome and JMeter - Test Script Recorder.
Still can't understand why I can't record several actions, as I did same thing in previous versions of Apache JMeter. So please let me know the solution for it.
You can use the following workarounds:
Just type badidea anywhere in the page and you will be able to proceed.
Launch Chrome with --ignore-certificate-errors command-line argument
Switch to alternative way of recording a JMeter test using i.e. JMeter Chrome Extension, in this case you won't have to worry about configuring proxies and/or SSL certificates.

Jmeter: Distributed Testing with client certificates

We set up Jmeter for performance testing over HTTPS with client certificates (via SSL Manager). It works like a charm if we run it from GUI. But, if we start distributed testing we get a bad certificate error.
How to pass the certificates & password to the slaves?
You can configure the certificates using Java SSL System Properties
I.e. add the following lines to system.properties file on each remote slave machine:
javax.net.ssl.keyStore=certificate.p12
javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=secr3t
javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=pkcs12
amend above values to match your settings
JMeter restart will be required to pick the properties up.
You can also pass the values via -D command-line arguments like:
jmeter -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=certificate.p12 -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=secr3t -s ...
See How to Set Your JMeter Load Test to Use Client Side Certificates article for more detailed explanation.
