I am trying to use JMeter 1.7 for loadtesting and monitoring of a
web-service 
that runs on a WebLogic server. It uses a VeriSign certificate.

The web-service is a questionnaire comprising a series of questions that the
user 
is supposed to answer and then pass on to the next question by clicking a
button. 
The whole session uses the HTTPS protocol and is being started from a link
by a 
GET command. The subsequent button clicks activates POST commands.

The link contains two alphanumeric strings that in the program are
identified as 
userID and password (they are not the usual name-value-pairs):
https://preprod.forespringer.com/answer/3140536/45gm5o0qpi4z99/ci806cvihq76q
u
This link is workable if you want to test it. If you answer question no. 3
the 
status will be changed to "completed" and it will no longer work with the
test 
plan (click "<<" until you reach the first page and then "Cancel").

                    path: /answerLaunch/answerQuestionnaire_p01.jsp,
                    param: prevButtonArrow, value: "blank",
                    param: nextButtonArrow, value: buttonPressed,
                    param: nextPageName,    value: FirstQuestion,
                    param: questionId,      value: -1,

answerQuestionnaire_p01.jsp,
                    param: pageCounter,     value: 0,
                    param: prevPageName,    value: Cancel
                   )
      View Results

The start-page seems to work alright but I get an error when trying to move
on to 
the first answer-page. The program's log-file says "user unknown" but there
is no 
mention of a "user" in the HTML code of the start-page. Apparently, there is

something in the session information that has been handled incorrectly.

Should I use the SSL Manager? 
When I start JMeter the first time, a small dialog box "Keystore Password"
pops up. 
I have tried to input the password from the link but it does not make a
difference. 
I have chosen this setting in jmeter.properties:
   ssl.provider=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider
   #ssl.provider=iaik.security.jsse.provider.IAIKJSSEProvider
   ssl.pkgs=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol

I use the default jmeter.bat with only this change:
set LOCALCLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\java\jsse1.0.3\lib\jsse.jar;
 
c:\java\jsse1.0.3\lib\jnet.jar;
 
c:\java\jsse1.0.3\lib\jcert.jar

I have checked the documentation carefully as well as your user and
developer 
mailboxes with no luck.

Thanks in advance.
