Keys stored in a keystore are given an ALIAS so they can be referenced directly 
this is done when the key is imported into it.

So are you wanting a specific key used per thread or per url?

If per url, have them in the same CSV so the thread pulls the url and key at 
the same time.

If per thread, dump the key csv and use a keystore configuration element from 
within the thread group and have the alias set as the format in your keystore  
with at the end _${__threadNum} such as keyNumber_${__threadNum}. This means 
each thread will use its own key.

http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/functions.html#__threadNum

I have not tried this function in a keystore config element yet so may not 
work, if not you can capture the thread number as a variable, however, 
__threadNum does not work in user defined variables so create a beanshell 
sampler as step one in your threadgroup and copy the following line into it.

    vars.put("threadNum",String.valueOf(ctx.getThreadGroup().getNumThreads()));

The instead of using __threadNum, us ${threadNum}

Job done.

Having the teensiest bit of trouble parsing that (ALIAS!). If I understand you 
correctly, I’m not sure that will solve the double loop problem.

After some more tinkering, I found the issue. I don’t know how to solve it 
efficiently, but I found it! Here’s the simplified thread group I am using:

Thread group has two CSV Configs, one for the Keystore and one for the URLs to 
load. The thread properties were 10 users, 1 second ramp up, Loop count 
forever. The loop was forever because I have the URL CSV Config not recycling 
on EOF.

The thread group has one HTTP request that uses the URL variable. That same 
HTTP request has a Keystore Configuration using the alias from the Keystore 
Alias CSV Config.

I couldn’t get JMeter to only loop the URL CSV for the HTTP Request and not 
loop the Keystore Alias CSV. I tried moving the Keystore CSV config under the 
HTTP Request. Moving the Keystore out of the thread group (but I only have one 
group anyway). I changed the sharing modes around and got close a few times, 
but no dice.

Adding a different HTTP request object for each URL to load instead of using 
the CSV works exactly like I want. The keystore config still used the CSV to 
loop. The loop count is 1 and the number of threads is equal to the number of 
users I want to load all the URLs. However, that’s kind of cumbersome and I 
can’t have the test team changing links manually all the time in the JMX.

So, am I missing something with nested loops?
