We got that to work simply by adding jsse.jar to our path file. Either in your java home/lib or in your jmeter path. Also you might need to make sure that you are set to the correct port, for a lot of https pages it is port 443 and make sure you have the protocol set to https. Give that a try, that is all we had to do to get it to work.

Certainly my jmeter.properties file is correct configured: javax.net.ssl.trustStore=F:/java/jre1.5.0_02/lib/security/cacerts , password is also correct. I`ve tried with imported pem certificate to the truststore, tried with p12 and pem imported via SSLManager in JMETER console and always receive the same exception : <sampleResult timeStamp="1144846598835" dataType="text" threadName="Thread Group 1-1" label="HTTP Request HTTPClient" time="16" responseMessage="Non HTTP respon se message" responseCode="Non HTTP response code" success="false"><property xml:space="preserve" name="samplerData">GET https://heinzdcon.de.icw.int:443/index.h tml </property><binary>javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.Sun CertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java :150) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.fatal( SSLSocketImpl.java:1476) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Handshaker.fatalSE(Handshaker.java :174) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Handshaker.fatalSE(Handshaker.java :168) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.ClientHandshaker.serverCertificate( ClientHandshaker.java:847) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.ClientHandshaker.processMessage( ClientHandshaker.java:106) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Handshaker.processLoop( Handshaker.java:495) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Handshaker.process_record( Handshaker.java:433) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.readRecord( SSLSocketImpl.java:815) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.performInitialHandshake( SSLSocketImpl.java:1025) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.writeRecord( SSLSocketImpl.java:619) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.AppOutputStream.write( AppOutputStream.java:59) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection$WrappedOutputStream.write( HttpConnection.java:1368) at java.io.BufferedOutputStream.flushBuffer( BufferedOutputStream.java:65) at java.io.BufferedOutputStream.flush(BufferedOutputStream.java :123) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.flushRequestOutputStream( HttpConnection.java:799) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.writeRequest( HttpMethodBase.java:2277) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.processRequest( HttpMethodBase.java:2657) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodBase.execute( HttpMethodBase.java:1093) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSampler2.sample( HTTPSampler2.java:436) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase.sample( HTTPSamplerBase.java:514) at org.apache.jmeter.protocol.http.sampler.HTTPSamplerBase.sample( HTTPSamplerBase.java:503) at org.apache.jmeter.threads.JMeterThread.run(JMeterThread.java :247) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) Caused by: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find vali d certification path to requested target at sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.doBuild(PKIXValidator.java :221) at sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.engineValidate( PKIXValidator.java:145) at sun.security.validator.Validator.validate(Validator.java :203) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.X509TrustManagerImpl.checkServerTrusted( X509TrustManagerImpl.java:172) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.JsseX509TrustManager.checkServerTrusted( SSLContextImpl.java:320) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.ClientHandshaker.serverCertificate( ClientHandshaker.java:840) ... 19 more Caused by: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target at sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilder.engineBuild( SunCertPathBuilder.java:236) at java.security.cert.CertPathBuilder.build(CertPathBuilder.java :194) at sun.security.validator.PKIXValidator.doBuild(PKIXValidator.java :216) ... 24 more </binary></sampleResult> </testResults> P.S. Here is the working Test.java that tests the SSL connection. It has the same parameters as jmeter.properties, provided via console: import java.security.Security; import java.net.*; public class Test { private static String webserverurl = "https://heinzdcon/lifesensor/login/login.jsp" + "?language=de&logintype=de&role=consumer&country=de"; public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider()); System.setProperty( "java.protocol.handler.pkgs", "com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol"); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", args[0]); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", args[1]); System.out.println("-- truststore: " + System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore")); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", args[0]); System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", args[1]); System.out.println("-- keystore: " + System.getProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore")); System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "ssl,handshake,data,trustmanager"); // System.setProperty("keystore.type", "JCEKS"); URL url = new URL(webserverurl); HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection(); conn.getResponseCode(); System.out.println("\n========== OK ================="); } } Anybody has experience with SSL, according to the version (2.1.1) I have no doubt that this core functionality works.
