Hey I am having an issue with renewing the Certificate (also a very new user to JMeter). I have tried the suggestions from isue, but none of the solutions worked for me. When I try to add the temporary certificate, I get the message: "This personal certificate can’t be installed because you do not own the corresponding private key which was created when the certificate was requested." and when I try to use the proxycert.cmd file as a certificate, It says that I need to input a password, I tried with "password" because that's what I saw when I opened the file in an editor, but it didn't work either. I get the message that either the password wrong is, or that the format is wrong or corupt.
Can anyone help me out?
I believe you're using incorrect storage, if you want to use JMeter as system-wide certificate to capture traffic not only from browsers but also from 3rd-party applications - you should put it to Trusted Root Certification Authorities
If you want to avoid doing this funny exercise each week you can ramp-up that validity time frame by adding the next line to user.properties file:
proxy.cert.validity=365
which will make JMeter certificates valid for 1 year.
password is the default password when you specify your own keystore, when JMeter creates its proxyserver.jks it generates a random password each time, theoretically it's possible to get it by attaching debugger session to JMeter process, however this way is not too optimal.

Using Jmeter 5.4.1
Using Firefox 91.3.0esr
Last week I could use Jmeter Script Recorder
Today I get the following message:SEC_ERROR_BAD_SIGNATURE
My Firefox Connection Settings:
Manual Proxy Configuration:
HTTP Proxy: Localhost
Port: 8080
The only difference I see from last week and this week is the Jmeter Certificate:
Has my Jmeter Certificate expired?
If so how do I get a new one?
I don't know your time zone, your certificate will be valid till 7 PM GMT.
If it has expired already you can just re-start JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder and it will generate a new certificate.
If you don't want to re-generate the certificate each 7 days you can put the following line to user.properties file:
proxy.cert.validity=365
it will configure JMeter to generate certificates valid for 1 year. More information: Test Script Recorder certificate configuration
With regards to your problem most probably you visited the website without proxy and not Firefox sees that the certificate chain has changed and doesn't allow you to browse to avoid potential MITM attack. Most probably you can get rid of this error if you clear your browsing data
Also be aware that you can also record a JMeter test using JMeter Chrome Extension, in this case you won't have to worry about proxies, certificates, etc.
Im using apache jmeter 5.3
My remote service requires client certificate when making calls.
I followed the steps pointed in this article[1] (Options-->SSL manager , and selected my cert, provided password)
But still I get 403. Anyone can help?
Same certificate is working when I configure it via Postman.
[1]https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#SSL_Manager
HTTP Status code 403 means "Forbidden", in other words:
The server recognizes the user as the valid one (authentication passes)
However the server doesn't allow the user to access the particular resource (authorization fails)
Also be aware that SSL Manager will work in GUI mode only, if you're running your test in command-line non-GUI mode you will need to put the path to the keystore and the password into system.properties file, see How to Set Your JMeter Load Test to Use Client Side Certificates article for more details.
In case of problems take a look at jmeter.log file, normally it contains sufficient amount of troubleshooting information, if it doesn't - your can always increase log level verbosity for the component(s) you're interested in.
Is it possible to record httpS requests of a native app (IOS or Android) with JMeter? I tried some ways that I found but, I've not resolved the problem..
Use jmeter 3 with Java 7 or 8, it creates a crt file in jmeter/bin folder. It is the CA that creates the certificates.
Send this file by mail and open it in Android / iOS then install it.
In test script recorder, put in the dedicated field HTTPS domains , the domains you are trying to hit, see:
-http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP(S)_Test_Script_Recorder
Restart Ipad/Android and jmeter test script recorder and try again.
to do this, you have to make your device trust the Jmeter Proxy CA.
So, you have to import the Jmeter CA certificate from
$JmeterHome/bin/ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt
into the device.
I remember this is an area where things improved a lot recently, so be sure to have the last version installed.
Try deleting ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt, JMeter's self-signed certificates have very limited life time (I recall something like 1 week), so if your certificate is older you might have problems installing it into browsers and/or mobile devices or it won't decrypt SSL traffic. The file will be re-created next time you start HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder
There is an alternative way of recording the mobile traffic by using your personal cloud proxy. Moreover, it will perform automatic correlation for you so you won't have to worry not only about SSL certificates, but also about Regular Expression extractor, JMeter Variables, etc. Check out How to Cut Your JMeter Scripting Time by 80% article for details.
If none of the above helps, take the following troubleshooting steps:
Add View Results Tree listener as a child of the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder. In case of any problems with the recording a request it should display the error details.
Check your mobile device logs during failed certificate installation attempt. You may need to install Android and iOS developer tools for this.
Make sure that your application is really uses HTTP or HTTPS protocols as JMeter supports only these 2.
I'm new to jmeter, I'm facing an issue while trying to record on IE, after i enter URL and hit enter i get website’s security certificate error, when i try it without recording on JMETER it works fine. Can anyone please tell me how to over come this issue?
Steps followed:
I have launched jmeter using proxy or else i won't record anything,
Launched using: C:\apache-jmeter-2.13\apache-jmeter-2.13\bin>jmeter -H {myproxyadd} -P 8080 -u etc
LAN Settings:
Only use a proxy server for your LAN is checked and everything else is unchecked on LAN Settings.
Address: localhost port:8080
jmeter website’s security certificate.
This is expected. JMeter is using self-signed certificate in order to be able to record HTTPS traffic and Internet Explorer warns you that certificate is not "trusted". So you can ignore this warning, click Continue to this website (not recommended) and move on.
As per "Installing the JMeter CA certificate for HTTPS recording" chapter of HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder documentation.
As mentioned above, when run under Java 7, JMeter can generate certificates for each server. For this to work smoothly, the root CA signing certificate used by JMeter needs to be trusted by the browser. The first time that the recorder is started, it will generate the certificates if necessary. The root CA certificate is exported into a file with the name ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA in the current launch directory. When the certificates have been set up, JMeter will show a dialog with the current certificate details. At this point, the certificate can be imported into the browser, as per the instructions below.
Note that once the root CA certificate has been installed as a trusted CA, the browser will trust any certificates signed by it. Until such time as the certificate expires or the certificate is removed from the browser, it will not warn the user that the certificate is being relied upon. So anyone that can get hold of the keystore and password can use the certificate to generate certificates which will be accepted by any browsers that trust the JMeter root CA certificate. For this reason, the password for the keystore and private keys are randomly generated and a short validity period used. The passwords are stored in the local preferences area. Please ensure that only trusted users have access to the host with the keystore.
Documentation also suggests installing certificate into browser to make this warning go away:
Browse to the JMeter launch directory, and click on the file ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt, and open it
Click on the "Details" tab and check that the certificate details agree with the ones displayed by the JMeter Test Script Recorder
If OK, go back to the "General" tab, and click on "Install Certificate ..." and follow the Wizard prompts
By the way, you can use an alternative to JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script recorder service. It makes recording process easier and also can export recorded requests in so called "SmartJMX" form - automatic correlation of dynamic parameters. See How to Cut Your JMeter Scripting Time by 80% article for more details.

When i am trying to record https urls with jmeter, i am getting below message in log:
jmeter.protocol.http.proxy.Proxy: [64432] Empty response to http over SSL. Probably waiting for user to authorize the certificate for XXXXXXX:443.
Its not loading any pages of our application.
Can anyone please help me how to resolve this issue?Thanks

First read:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP%28S%29_Test_Script_Recorder
Among resolutions for your issue:
Install in the browser as described in documentation the Fake Certification Authority created by JMeter
Call https URL in the browser and accept certificate, then start recording your scenario
Have you added JMeter's self-signed certificate to browser's exception list?
If so - try removing the certificate and starting over.
For other troubleshooting options and recommendations see Recording HTTPS Traffic with JMeter's Proxy Server guide.
I suggest using SmartMeter Recorder. You will avoid all isues with setting up the proxy. SmartMeter Recorder uses its own Chrome plugin and works out of the box. Read the article for more info.
First of all for performance testing you should have application setup without the certificates otherwise you are testing results will differ. Your objective should be to test actual calls and those should be isolated.
If you still insist doing with certificate then you need to register JMeter certificate with browser which you are using for recording. You can find that in JMeter bin directory. Just register with your browser which you are using fir recording.
