Problem with Jmeter certificate to record a test

Question

I'm trying to record a test, but when I install my certificate by Jmeter in the chrome, when I access the site that I want to record, chrome return me this:

But my certificate that I installed before access the site is 100% valid:

Other points:

• I already made the Jmeter HTTPS proxy route configuration;

• I already made the Windows/Browser proxy route configuration;

• I installed the certificate correctly.

I don't know why my browser is not looking for the valid certificate and even without any certificate installed, still looks to this invalid certificate

Answer 1

If this is blocking you please install the certificate on Firefox and proceed with recording after setting the proxy.

1. Open Firefox
2. Type about:prefrences in the address bar
3. Search for certificates in search box
4. Click on View Certificate button
5. Select Authorities tab
6. Click on Import button
7. Select the certificate from your JMeter/bin folder
8. Check the first option in the popup (Trust CA to identify the websites)
9. Click OK

Answer 2

Chrome warns you because JMeter's certificate is self-signed and it cannot be validated against trusted CA

The options are in:

1. Ignore this error, the options are in:

   • Click "Proceed to unsafe" (if it's available)

     

   • Launch Chrome with --ignore-certificate-errors command-line argument:

   • type badidea anywhere at the page

2. Add JMeter's self-signed certificate to Windows Trusted Root Certification Authorities:

Mac OSX instructions for this were nowhere to be found.

On a Mac, just import "the root cert" from the Jmeter bin directory and into your "Keychain Access" tool. If you have to, you can use a tool called "Keystore Explorer" to convert the .crt file to a .cer before you do that import.

Then, you have to mark the cert trusted like this:
