Jmeter Recording using company proxy - 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!

Issue with Jmeter while using a proxy server authentication using http requests

I am trying to send the http request using our proxy server (hitting requests to access some content that should go through our proxy server) through JMeter for which I'm using HTTP Recording Controller, but I'm unable to get the response code 200
I have tried the test script recorder in Jmeter, but couldn't get a proper response code(200)
If you're trying to record the test script and your organization is using a proxy server which is required to access the system under test - you need to make JMeter aware of this proxy server by either providing proxy details as command-line arguments:
jmeter -H your-proxy-host -P your-proxy-port -u username -a password
or via corresponding JMeter system properties
http.proxyHost=your-proxy-host
http.proxyPort=your-proxy-port
https.proxyHost=your-proxy-host
https.proxyPort=your-proxy-port
additionally you might need to specify http.proxyDomain property in case of domain authentication

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 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.

I am trying to record an application on the intranet using Jmeter, but i keep getting DNS failure message

I am trying to record my application under test which is on the intranet using the Jmeter recording controller. It manages to capture the URL but then starts showing DNS failure and response code 503.There seems to be some authorization issue. Any ideas on how I can provide authorization details (username/password) at the time of recording ?
For application authorization you can try adding HTTP Authorization Manager, it should be able to deal with at least Basic HTTP Authentication
For proxy authorization (if your machine is using proxy for intranet/internet access) you can specify username and password via -u and -a command-line arguments correspondingly like
jmeter -H my.proxy.server -P 8000 -u username -a password -N localhost
HTTP 503 status code indicates that a server is temporarily unable to handle the request.
So it would be a temporary failure of one of the intermediate components between JMeter and the server:
DNS Server
Proxy
Firewall
Load Balancer
Web server (Apache HTTP, Nginx, NodeJS...)
Application Server (J2EE, PHP, ASP servers)
An authentication error related to proxy would trigger a 4XX response code.
Checks the logs of each of the intermediate components , if you don't reproduce issue when using browser then have a look at:

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.
