Jmeter webui fails to record - jmeter-5.0

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.

Recording a test by Jmeter causing errors "NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID" & "ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED" & "..." JMeter proxy certificate**

started recording my test on macOS, with below steps and I am receiving BELOW RESULTS
1. ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED
"If you use a proxy server…
Check your proxy settings or contact your network administrator to make sure that the proxy server is working. If you don't believe you should be using a proxy server: Go to Applications > System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies and deselect any proxies that have been selected."
2. Went to JMeter result tree

Jmeter certyficate should be valid till 2024, I have renewed certyficate, following this instruction -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64043676/cannot-update-jmeter-root-ca-certificate​
BUT IN KEYCHAIN

4. am using Chrome browser
Delete the certificate from the keychain completely
Delete proxyserver.jks and ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt files in "bin" folder of your JMeter installation
Clear your Chrome browsing history completely
When creating the recording test plan from the template use www.testla.com without any paths
When you start the HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder JMeter will generate new ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt file. Default validity is 7 days unless you change proxy.cert.validity property
Import this certificate into your browser. At this stage I would suggest using Firefox instead of Chrome because:
Firefox has its own certificates storage and Chrome uses the system one
Firefox has its own proxy configuration and Chrome uses the system one
It would be also a good idea to exclude other domains than tesla.com from recording scope
Your recording should be successful
Also be aware of an alternative way of recording a JMeter test: JMeter Chrome Extension, in this case you won't have to worry about proxies and certificates
It works for now but, still seems not correct
When I set proxy.cert.dynamic_keys false and it finally started recording with some 200 statuses:
Use dynamic key generation (if supported by JMeter/JVM).
If false, will revert to using a single key with no certificate.
Defaults to: true
BUT SOME TESTS ARE STILL 443 because of cert
Response message:Connection reset
ensure browser is set to accept the JMeter proxy certificate
Tried your recommendations also uninstalled and installed JMeter again, cleared and using Firefox for now, cert is valid until 16.01.2023, I have set jmeter.properties file to “#proxy.cert.validity=365” (with hash) and I have checked Firefox -> settings -> cert view and there is 16.01.2023 so looks like again I have to uninstall and install again?
Is it correct that when test finished and I want to user browser + internet again I need to go to Firefox settings -> proxy and set back from manual mode (localhost 8888 + https) to no proxy?
If I stay with manual there is an error:
“The proxy server is refusing connections
An error occurred during a connection to www.tesla.com.
Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working.”

java.net.SocketException: Connection reset on 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

JMeter recording - 'ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR' and 'Software caused connection abort: socket write error'

I'm new in JMeter and my topic seems to be very similar to another ones already existing. However, it is not - I was trying already all the solutions for the errors that I get and nothing works :/
I have already set up all proxy settings and certificates, and it's working fine (with the same settings) on the other VM.
Outside the recording, I can see proper 'No Internet' warning:
enter image description here
However, once started recording, there are errors in the console and the front end of the application does not look like originally:
enter image description here
Please help! I've already done all the recommendations for clearing caches, SSL, removing files in Windows32 archive and so on...
You should try recording your script using Blazemeter Chrome Extension. Hope, this resolve your issue.
It might be the case there are differences in machines themselves, not in JMeter settings, for example this No Internet message most probably means that the browser is connected to JMeter's proxy server, but JMeter itself cannot connect to the internet.
Try creating a simple manual Test Plan with a single HTTP Request sampler to open http://example.com website. If the request will be successful - you will need to double check your browser and JMeter configuration. However if you get the UnknownHostException instead it may mean that:
Networking configuration of the machine is incorrect (it cannot access the Internet)
The machine requires an upstream Proxy server in order to be able to access Internet resources so you will need to make JMeter aware of this proxy server by passing appropriate command line arguments to the JMeter startup script:
jmeter -E https -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password -N localhost
in order to make the changes permanent you can define:
http.proxyScheme
http.proxyHost
http.proxyPort
https.proxyHost
https.proxyPort
in system.properties file and http.proxyDomain in user.properties file, check out Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more information on JMeter properties and ways of setting and overriding them

Jmeter Recording using company proxy

I am facing proxy problems (no issue with certificate unidentification found yet) as working on client company proxy. Can you explain what are the things are required to make the proxy with JMeter.
I have the following error:
"java.net.UnknownHostException: jmeter.apache.org" in jmeter request response and Authentication error 401 in firefox.
enter image description here
How are you opening Jmeter? If you are accessing the application using company proxy, you need to launch JMeter throguh proxy as below:
Jmeter -H your proxy -P Port -u username -a password.
Try recoridng the application traffic now!

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.
