Jmeter 2.11 : Getting Peer Not Authenticated

Question

I am getting the exception listed below:

 javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated

properties in Jmeter.properties:

> #https.default.protocol=TLS
> #https.default.protocol=SSLv3
> #https.socket.protocols=SSLv2Hello SSLv3 TLSv1

JDK version: 1.7

1.I have already imported the required certificates. 2.I tried setting the https.socket.protocols=SSLv3 [https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54759]
3.I have changed the implementation to HTTPClient4 4. The certificate's expiry year is 2022

but it didn't work.Please suggest solutions

Followed these steps but still getting the socket exception:

In user.properties file:

httpclient4.retrycount=1
hc.parameters.file=hc.parameters

In hc.parameters file:

http.connection.stalecheck$Boolean=true

Answer 1

Enable debug logging for SSL by adding the next line to system.properties file

javax.net.debug=ssl

and then look at jmeter.log file and stdout , most probably you will figure out the exact reason for the failure from them.

Blind shot: the reason of failure might be due to you're using 8 years old JMeter version which is running on top of 10 years old JDK and some essential security certificates which reside under jre/lib/security/cacerts has expired already.

As per JMeter Best Practices you should always be using the latest version of JMeter so consider upgrading to JMeter 5.3 (or whatever is the latest stable version you can find at JMeter Downloads page) and the latest stable version of 64-bit server JRE or JDK from OpenJDK website (the minimum supported one is mentioned in JMeter release notes)

Answer 2

https.default.protocol=TLSv1.2

setting this worked for me.
