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.

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/

After I installed the Jmeter Certificate I still see error for missing certificate. I can access few sites which I couldn't before installing the certificate, but still in most sites I get the error. I use FireFox and Jmeter 5.4.1. How to fix this errors after I already have installed certificate?
Your "not working" statement doesn't tell the full story, I can think of one possible reason:
You visited a web site over HTTPS protocol before installing JMeter's certificate
You're trying to open the same web site after installing JMeter certificate
Firefox detects certificates mismatch and prevents the website from opening
The easiest solution is to completely delete your browsing history or if you don't want to do this create a new "clean" Firefox profile which will be used just for recording purposes.

Also be aware of JMeter Chrome Extension, in this case you won't have to worry about proxies and certificates.
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).
Similar to SSL enabling in Tomcat Windows server question, how do I configure NGINX/OpenResty to use/trust Windows certificate store (especially the authorities)?
One option is to use some kind of NGINX plugin based on NSS (Network Security Services). I've actually found a repository for it here, but no sure I can use it.
Are there any other solutions?
I am using jakarta-jmeter-2.3.1 and needs to call a SOAP webservice over HTTPS. The server needs client side certificate.
Can you please let me know how to refer keystore in earlier version of the jmeter?
I know the latest version (3.2) has Keystore Configuration sampler element, which I could not find in 2.3.1.
[I need to use that versoin because of the client side restriction. ]
You can configure the encryption on JVM level by adding the next lines to system.properties file:
javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=${keystoretype}
javax.net.ssl.keyStore=/path/to/your/certificate
javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=your_certificate_password_here
${keystoretype} can be either pkcs12 for .p12 files or jks for .jks files (this is default). If your certificate is in the different format it will be better to convert it to i.e. .p12 format using OpenSSL or equivalent
you will need to restart JMeter to pick the properties up
See How to Set Your JMeter Load Test to Use Client Side Certificates guide for more detailed information if needed.
