ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt not generated

Question

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?

Answer 1

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

Ensure you follow this:

Answer 2

Need to remove proxyserver.jks to create new certificate if you have removed ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt, ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.usr from bin . I did same too and got the certificate.

Answer 3

I had a similar issue please follow below steps,

1.Reinstall java, update the environment variables JAVA_HOME

2.Check the java version and make sure you don't get anything extra other than C:>java -version java version "1.8.0_144" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode) in case if you find anything addition , remove them from environment variables.

5.Run Jmeter , you should be getting root certification

Answer 4

don't go complex solution lets try it easily

1. check your jdk version java -version> if version is less then jdk6 then update you jdk 2.download the missing file (gist.github.com/9ef114c53b83e553b635.git) 3 and add it however you know

Answer 5

We had the same problem. It appeared that the keytool.exe file that was being called by JMeter to generate the certificate, was located in a directory that had no write access. Initially the certificate is generated relatively to the location of keytool.exe (which is in java/bin), and then it is moved into the jmeter/bin directory.

We were able to fix it by copying the java installation directory into de jmeter directory and set write access. Then start JMeter with java pointing to the copied version.

Don't forget to remove proxyserver.jks before you try again

Answer 6

In my case,

I extracted JMeter in C: drive (Windows 10 program files folder).

Running JMeter.bat as Administrator solved that issue for me.

Otherwise extracting in other drives also help.

Answer 7

I solved it by removing ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.crt, ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA.usr and proxyserver.jks from the bin directory of JMeter.

Answer 8

I was having the same issue - the root certificate was not found under the jmeter/bin directory. It was created in this path

C:\VTRoot\HarddiskVolume3\Users{UserName}\Downloads\apache-jmeter-2.12\bin

I had to import it to firefox
