Hi all, using Jmeter 2.4 r961953 - JRE x86 1.6.0_21 on Windows Vista SP2 x64.
I am trying to load test a SOAP Web Service to which I connect via SSL using client certificate authentication. Web Service resides on an IBM WAS 6.1/AIX (cluster actually, published via two ibm http server balanced by a load balacing device). Using "WebService(SOAP) Request" Sampler. What I have achieved until now: 1. client certificate was self-signed with a password length of 5 (SSL Manager would not be able to load the private key from the store), in PKCS#12 format (.p12 extension) a. Imported in Windows the certificate (marked as private key exportable during import) b. Exported as pfx/p12 including the private key using a password length of 6 - Now SSL Manager finds the private key c. exported the signing certificate (self-signed, so itself) as X509 DER (from Windows) d. using keytool.exe from %JAVA_HOME%/bin I created a new JKS keystore by importing the X509 Certificate and named it jssecacerts. This keystore I copied in %JAVA_HOME%/lib/security Now, when I load the private key (that resides in the p12/pfx keystore exported at step 1.b.) using SSL Manager, the correct key is selected (I am not prompted for a password). If I then go to the Webservice Sampler and press load wsdl, i am prompted to enter the p12 keystore password. Only after this step can I "start" my tests....locally. If i don't press "load wsdl" and just "start" the tests (run > start) i get the following error: Response message: Error opening socket: java.net.SocketException: java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: Error constructing implementation (algorithm: Default, provider: SunJSSE, class: com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.DefaultSSLContextImpl) I want to be able to adapt the Jmeter config so that I can run the tests from many more machines concurrently (via jmeter console). I guess that in order to achieve this i would have to configure it so that i only have to "run jmeter.bat, load test plan and go run>start". without loading cert using ssl manager and pressing "load wsdl". what i tried (system.properties): javax.net.ssl.trustStore=D:\jssecacerts - copied there for the test javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=pkcs12 - this line i added myself after consulting the source code of ssl manager javax.net.ssl.keyStore=D:\client_auth.p12 - certificate containing the private key used for client authentication javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=123456 - literrally, this is the password of the p12 store this only gives me the same error as above when doing "run jmeter.bat, load test plan and go run>start" Why does this happen ? And this after I am setting javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=pkcs12, manually in system.properties ????
