I'm also using jdk1.4.1 and to get SSL working with the GUI client I had to do the following:
1.) Uncomment ssl.provider and ssl.pkgs 2.) Set javax.net.ssl.trustStore to the default cacerts file found in your jre/lib/security directory 3.) Used keytool to import copies of the certs that were being used by the web servers for SSL into the trusted store When I ran the test, the GUI client would prompt me for the keystore password...the default keystore password is changeit, and that would complete the initialization of my SSL context allowing me to successfully run my test plan. hope this helps, Dave -----Original Message----- From: John Kavadias [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 4:36 AM To: 'JMeter Users List' Subject: RE: JMeter and https with jdk1.4 Hello Jochen. I do not have a complete answer for you, as my current tests do not require https. In fact I would appreciate the same answers you need! However, since our web application is actually developed to support https for sensitive resource access, I did try it. + You do have to uncomment both ssl.provider and ssl.pkgs This was not sufficient for me to get https working with JMeter, however. I got JMeter to the point where it was prompting for a password for accessing the default JKS format key store. I gave a password (only 3 characters) at this point, but after the test (which failed) could not find my key store. (I also found from JSSE documentation that I should have used an 8 character minimum password at this point.) I think my client side key store was not created because of the failure recorded in the attached https-ex.txt file. I do not get JMeter to successfully issue the https request. An exception is thrown while trying to set up the connection to the server. Part of my problem is that I am using a web server with a self signed server certificate, for testing use only. It is not a 'real' certificate signed by a trusted authority. I think this means I need to modify a certs file in my j2sdk and j2re installations to make the test certificate 'trusted'. The JSSE documentation talks about this. At this point my need to get an overall set of tests in place overrode investigating JSSE and getting https going for me in JMeter. Intial test plan and Exception attached.
