ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt not generated


I am new to JMeter. I believe I have installed it successfully and I am running through the script recorder setup (http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.pdf). When I start the JMeter proxy server which is used to intercept the browser requests a file called ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt should be generated in jmeter/bin folder. It isn't. So, I cannot move on to Install the JMeter CA certificate for HTTPS recording, or for that matter configure my browser. Is there any known reason why the JMeter certificate would fail to be generated?


Solution

  • You are probably using Java 6 , in this case no ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA is generated.

    To know if you are using Java 7: - If HTTPS Domains is read only you are in JDK6 - If HTTPS Domains is writable you are using JDK7
