JMeter - Add Client side Certificate and key - jmeter

How can we add a client-side certificate and key to JMeter Script?
Every time I'm navigating to JMeter -> Options -> SSL Manager and browsing the Certificate and entering the password then it's only allowing me to run the script successfully, else I'm getting the forbidden error access denied.
I have tried the below steps, but still facing the same issue:
Added below lines in JMeter properties:
javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=pkcs12
javax.net.ssl.keyStore=C:\certs\mycert.p12
javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=password
Tried using the JSR223 Sampler in JMeter script but still no luck.
Thanks in advance.

Forget about jmeter.properties file, any customization of JMeter Properties should be done in user.properties file or in a separate copy of jmeter.properties which needs to be passed to JMeter via -p command-line argument
In your case you're trying to change System Properties so you need to put these lines to system.properties file
JMeter restart will be required to pick the properties up

I am getting Assertion Failed error while running jmeter script But I have not used assertions in my script

I am getting Assertion Failed error while running jmeter script But I have not used assertions in my script.
I was doing Load testing with 500 users and getting Assertion Failure errors
Most probably your script fails to download at least one so called "embedded resources" - image, script, style, font, etc. If you are not interested in the problems with the embedded resources - you can turn JMeter automatic check for HTTP Status code < 400 by adding the next line to user.properties file:
httpsampler.ignore_failed_embedded_resources=true
JMeter restart will be required to pick the property up.
If you don't want the change to be permanent you can pass it on ad-hoc basis using -J command-line argument like:
jmeter -Jhttpsampler.ignore_failed_embedded_resources=true -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl

Jmeter Proxy giving 504 gateway timeout error

I have URL which is like this:
https://110.111.72.72:8001?id=username1
when I use the same URL in browser it works fine and return a result but when I use the same in Jmeter I get a 504 Gateway Timeout error.
In my organisation we do have the proxy which I have mentioned in the browser LAN -> proxy server settings.
I have tried many things but none worked please help.
You need to configure JMeter to use the same proxy server your browser is using. It can be done in 2 ways:
Via command-line arguments. In this case you will need to run JMeter as:
jmeter -H your_company_proxy_host -P your_company_proxy_port-u username -a password
Via Java System Network Properties. In this case you will need to add the following lines to system.properties file (located in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
http.proxyHost=your_company_proxy_host
http.proxyPort=your_company_proxy_port
https.proxyHost=your_company_proxy_host
https.proxyPort=your_company_proxy_port

Thanks Dmitri T
jmeter -H your_company_proxy_host -P your_company_proxy_port-u username -a password ---- Worked Fine
I didn't try the 2nd option.
Thanks for solving another

Jmeter server.bat file error

Please give me solution for the below error.
Could not find ApacheJmeter_core.jar ... ... Trying JMETER_HOME=.. Found ApacheJMeter_core.jar Created remote object: UnicastServerRef [liveRef: [endpoint:192.168.8.108:50019 ,objID:[-30cb105c:15ca098204b:-7fff, 5736149660821635846]]]
I tried the below way also, am not able to launch
"I just hard coded the path in my jmeter_server.bat."
Am doing testing now.. if any one knows please update here.
This is not an error at all, it means that you successfully launched a JMeter slave which is now waiting for a command from the JMeter master.
So now you need to start JMeter Master using one of the following approaches:
Pass slave IP address via -R command-line argument like:
jmeter -R 192.168.8.108 -n -t test.jmx -l result.jtl
Define remote_hosts JMeter Property by adding the next line to user.properties file on JMeter Master node:
remote_hosts=192.168.8.108

If you need just to open JMeter GUI you will need to launch jmeter.bat script or alternatively directly call java from JMeter's "bin" folder like:
java -jar ApacheJMeter.jar

Is there any specific Java version need to be used?
Jmeter version is - 3.1
Just add the next lines to system.properties file (located in the "bin" folder of your JMeter installation)
javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=pkcs12
javax.net.ssl.keyStore=/path/to/your/certificate.p12
javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=your_certificate_password_here
Another option is providing the aforementioned properties via -D command-line argument like:
jmeter -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=pkcs12 -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/path/to/your/certificate.p12 -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=your_certificate_password_here
This is more convenient for unattended executions, i.e. using Continuous Integration servers
Restart JMeter to pick the properties up
Now JMeter will be using your client certificate for requests encryption
See How to Set Your JMeter Load Test to Use Client Side Certificates for more details.
Alternatively you can use SSL Manager, however personally I consider using system properties more convenient.

JMeter - Error when starting test plan- keytool error: proxysever.jks (access is denied)

I am following JMeter User guide to start recording my first test plan. When I click the Start button in HTTP Test Script Recorder, I got this error:
Could not create script recorder – see log for details >> keytool error:java.io.FileNotFoundException: proxyserver.jks (Access is denied)
How could I fix this error? Thanks in advance.
Background: JMeter creates a self-signed SSL certificate in order to be able to decrypt and record HTTPS requests, this proxyserver.jks is a Java Keystore which is being generated by JMeter in its "bin" folder when you start HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder proxy
Explanation: The error you are getting most probably indicates that you don't have permissions to write anything into the "bin" folder of your JMeter installation
Workarounds:
You can try launching JMeter with elevated rights (run as administrator or superuser or whoever having write access to JMeter's "bin" folder
You can change the location where JMeter tries to generate this proxyserver.jks file by adding the next line to user.properties file:
proxy.cert.directory=/path/to/folder/where/you/have/write/access
JMeter restart will be required to pick the property up.
Another option is passing the property value via -J command-line argument like
jmeter -Jproxy.cert.directory=/path/to/folder/where/you/have/write/access -n -t ....
Check out Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more information regarding JMeter properties and ways of setting and overriding them
One workaround that worked for me was to start JMeter.bat from bin folder from cmd which was "run as administrator". After this, the error was gone.
