I finally figured out that I needed to do some more adaption in the jmeter.properties file in order to get the https communication between the client and the remote jmeter hosts running. I did the following:
- download the jsse.jar, jnet.jar, jcert.jar and add to classpath - retrieve the certificate of the web site to be tested - generated a keystore object based on the certificate using the j2re/j2sdk keytool which is to be found under j2re<version>/bin (the command herefore should be executed in the j2r<version>/bin directory and look like this: keytool -import -keystore <my_keystore_name> -alias <my_keystore_alias> - file <location to which the .cer file from the website has been downloaded> - copy the generated keystore from j2re<version>/bin to j2re<version>/bin to j2re<version>/lib/security where the cacert keystore is to be found - edit the jmeter.properties file by entering the paths to the cacert and the keystore that I just generated. It should be the complete path including the two keystores (e.g. keystore=j2r<version>/lib/security/<mykeystorename>. Finally the password has to be defined also in order for jmeter to be able to access the keystore. I hope that anyone who ever will bump into this problem will save a whole lot of time when finding this mailing :).
