java.net.SocketException: Connection reset on JMeter - jmeter

i am trying to automate the web process and that website only access when i am using VPN so when i try to Record the Website Script using the JMeter Script recoder then i shows error " You connection is not Private for this site " and when i am trying to run the JMeter as a Proxy server by using this command jMeter.bat -H -P -N -u -a then i am getting " java.net.SocketException: Connection reset " Error. So if anyone know how to recode the VPN accessed web application test script in JMeter please help me.
Thanks and Regards

"You connection is not Private for this site" error means that you haven't imported JMeter's certificate into your browser.
When you start JMeter HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder it generates a special certificate file called ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation, the certificate allows JMeter to intercept and decrypt HTTPS traffic so make sure to import the certificate into your browser before opening the page of the application you're testing.
More information:
HTTPS recording and certificates of HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder user manual entry
Recording HTTPS Traffic with JMeter's Proxy Server
if you're still seeing the error - try clearing your browsing history as it might be the case your browser "remembers" valid certificate for the page you're trying to open and detects certificate mismatch when you're opening it via JMeter's proxy.
With regards to VPN I don't think any extra steps are required once you're able to open the application with browser and/or JMeter

Unable to login into OKTA application when using jmeter's recording controller (proxy)

I'm able to login into the OKTA application, when I'm NOT recording the jmeter script using jmeter's proxy server(using Test Script Recorder). But, as soon as I setup my browser to use jmeter's proxy server (Test Script Recorder) for recording, I'm NOT able to login into the application itself. I see error "Please try your request later.The system is having techical difficulties". But the application works fine without proxy and i am able to login to OKTA application.
Steps:
Open jmeter. In test paln add test script recorder and change the browser IE Lan settings port to 8888 which is specified in the recorder.
Launch Application.
Give username and click on next
Error is encountered. "Please try your request later.The system is having techical difficulties"
But it works fine when i launch the application without any proxy.
Most probably you need to import JMeter's self-signed certificate into your browser, the file is called ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt and it's being generated in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation when you start JMeter proxy server.
See HTTPS recording and certificates chapter of the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder documentation for more detailed explanation.
Remember when something goes wrong most probably you can find a clue in jmeter.log file
There is an alternative way of recording a JMeter test: JMeter Chrome Extension, in this case you won't have to worry about proxies and certificates, just execute your use case in browser and once done you will be able to export the recorded script in form of JMeter .jmx file
This probably is due to the way Jmeter is parsing(and resending) the OKTA data(token, response etc.).The data parsed and sent by Jmeter proxy is unacceptable by the server and hence the error.Try saving the .har and then convert to jmx for jmeter use and see the difference.
Using Jmeter extension on Chrome might help too for recording.

Jmeter webui fails to record

I have been trying to setup my test environment for Jmeter recording with WebUI. I had followed all the steps as mentioned in the guide i.e. proxy server setting and uploaded certificate in browser as well. I starting jmeter through command prompt
jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 80 -u username -a Password -N localhost
When I record anything with these settings jmeter doesn't record anything and the log shows no error. Logs read Start recording and stop recording. But nothing gets recorded/captured
What can be the root cause of the problem?
1. I need to talk to support team to open some settings?
2. I am using my company proxy server name with port 80
Thanks
Could you add the Proxy Scheme to use parameter (-E https) when you start the JMeter?
Could you stop the JMeter Proxy (HTTPS Test Script Recorder) and check if you can access the application through the web browser? If you can access the application when proxy is stopped then you will have to configure (recheck) the browser's proxy settings.
If you get error proxy not found error on your browser then your browser is trying to access the application through the proxy.
3.1 Can you check if you have set HTTPS Domains in HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
3.2 Have you set any request filtering? Could you remove all the request filtering and give a try?
3.3 Trust your certificate if not expired. Default vapidity period of the certificate is 7 days. Create a new certificate and reinstall it on your browser.

Jmeter 4.0 script recording issue

When i'm trying to record application in Jmeter 4.0 using firefox browser not able to capture HTTP requests. I could see below message in
Problem with SSL certificate for url for 'cdnjs.cloudflare.com'? Ensure browser is set to accept the JMeter proxy cert: Software caused connection abort: socket write error
2018-04-20 17:26:36,369 WARN o.a.j.p.h.p.Proxy: [50777] Problem with SSL certificate for url for 'cdnjs.cloudflare.com'? Ensure browser is set to accept the JMeter proxy cert: Software caused connection abort: socket write error
Could you please help us to resolve this issue.
Even I have tried importing jmeter user certificate in browser and recorded the user scenario still complains on keystore generation.Try this if it works
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jmeterforwindows/
The error is self-explanatory: you need to add JMeter's self-signed certificate to your browser.
Locate ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt file in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation. It is being automatically generated when you start HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
Import the certificate into your browser, instructions are different for each browser you can use i.e. Importing your SSL certificate into your browser article as a reference.
That's it, you should now be able to record HTTPS traffic.
See Recording HTTPS Traffic with JMeter's Proxy Server for more detailed configuration and troubleshooting instructions.

Receiving this error while doing performance testing via Jmeter for mobile app.**ensure browser is set to accept the JMeter proxy certificate**

I am testing performance of mobile app via jmeter for android mobile app. FOr most of the apps installed in my mobile device, I am receiving below error message.
Software caused connection abort: recv failed
ensure browser is set to accept the JMeter proxy certificate.
Please help me to know how to resolve this error, while testing with mobile app.
Well have you done what the error message says e.g. have you installed the JMeter CA certificate ? look at this guide and check if you have followed the steps correctly [Apache JMeter HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder] (https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf) especially this step :
Return to HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, and click the “Start” button at the bottom.
This will start the JMeter proxy server which is used to intercept the browser requests.
A file called ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt will be generated in jmeter/bin folder.
Install this certificate in your browser, if you don't know how to do it, read “
Installing the
JMeter CA certificate for HTTPS recording
” in : http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP%28S%29_Test_Script_Recorder
When you start JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder it generates a dummy certificate in order to be able to decrypt SSL traffic.
Locate ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt file in JMeter's /bin folder (it may live in other location if you run JMeter i.e. from desktop shortcut)
Install it onto your device (the easiest way is sending it to yourself via email, open the email on device and click on the attachment)

using JMeter proxy recorder behind company proxy with SSL manager

Hi I am facing following issue when try to use JMeter proxy recorder behind company proxy
There are two environments one is not using company proxy(QA env) other is using company proxy(UAT env)
Also both sites are using client side certificate to identify user(saml2).
When recording in the QA environment I only need to use ssl manager and when I start the jmeter proxy jmeter will ask for browser certificate password. After providing that I can successfully record the requests.
But when access the UAT env directly I have to set the browser proxy setting (webprox.corp.net and port 2212)
So to record the same application I started JMeter using following command
jmeter.bat -H webprox.corp.net -P 2212
also set the browser proxy settings to localhost and 8080(same as jmeter proxy server settings)
Jmetr recording start fine and requests are captured but it does not evaluate the browser certificate which is loaded in SSL manager. Therefore I am unable to recorded correct scenario as connection says not authorized due to browser certificate unidentification.
Any suggestions on this pls
I have found out the solution for above issue
As stated we can start the JMeter using jmeter.bat -H webprox.corp.net -P 2212 -N localhost (you can use other parameters as required like username and password for the proxy)
Load the valid browser side certificate(not the JMeter root CA) in to the SSL manager(Assume you are not loading certificates from java Keystore)
The main point I have missed was the value in JMter Work Bench > HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder > HTTP Sampler Setting > Type
Had to use Java implementation as Type (or you can change the value and check)
After completing above configurations I have successfully recorded the script from behind the cooperate proxy.
