I'm getting the following error trying to install a root CA certificate in Apache JMeter:
What should I do?
This is not an error at all, it's information message regarding JMeter created a self-signed SSL certificate.
Due to security reasons JMeter prints some information regarding the certificate so you could decide whether to accept it or not when you'll open a page over HTTPS protocol in browser.
So when browser prompts you whether to proceed to secure page using untrusted certificate or not - just double check certificate authority and if it matches what JMeter tells in that dialog - you're good to go.

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.
I'm unable to record login functionality every time its giving validation message on login screen with proxy on. On removing the proxy login functionality works fine. I'm using localhost with port given with the URL of the system under test.
Address is something like - 52.xxx.xxx.xxx: Portnumber
Please help..!!
It may be connected with HTTPS protocol, sending username and password in plain text is a very bad practice so I am more than sure your application is using some form of TLS encryption.
JMeter is able to decrypt and record secure traffic, however some extra configuration will be required, in particular you will need to add JMeter's self-signed certificate into browser so JMeter would be able to intercept secure traffic. Pay attention to the following chapters of the JMeter's HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder documentation:
HTTPS recording and certificates
Installing the JMeter CA certificate for HTTPS recording
If you will be still experiencing problems check out Recording HTTPS Traffic with JMeter's Proxy Server article for troubleshooting steps.
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

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.
We are using JMeter 2.4 and are trying to use the HTTP Proxy Server to capture a test plan.
"Attempt HTTPS spoofing" is not ticked.
The error we get in the JMeter log is:
2010/08/02 14:46:02 ERROR - jmeter.protocol.http.proxy.Proxy: Problem with SSL certificate? Ensure browser is set to accept the JMeter proxy cert:

Any ideas?
You must remove in your browser the auto-signed certificat in relation with your website, and restart a record session with JMeter 2.4. In this new session, accept the JMeter's dummy cert.
(in Firefox : Options > Advanced > Encryption > View Certificates ==> Certificat Manager > Servers > choose website cert and Delete...)

From http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Proxy_Server
When recording HTTPS, the JMeter proxy
server uses a dummy certificate to
enable it to accept the SSL connection
from the browser. This certificate is
not one of the certificates that
browsers normally trust, and will not
be for the correct host, so the
browser should display a dialogue
asking if you want to accept the
certificate or not. For example: 1)
The server's name "www.example.com"
does not match the certificate's name
"JMeter Proxy". Somebody may be trying
to eavesdrop on you. 2) The
certificate for "JMeter Proxy" is
signed by the unknown Certificate
Authority "JMeter Proxy". It is not
possible to verify that this is a
valid certificate. You will need to
accept the certificate in order to
allow the JMeter Proxy to intercept
the SSL traffic in order to record it.
You should only accept the certificate
temporarily.

You may have to create the certificate for Jmeter. Below is a fantastic article detailing how to do it:
