JMeter load client-side certificate

Question

I try to add a p12 file to JMeter 3.3 configuration to reach a site. I added following lines to system.properties file:

javax.net.ssl.keyStoreType=pkcs12    
javax.net.ssl.keyStore=C:\certs\mycert.p12
javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=mypassword

After that I restarted JMeter, but got the same error, javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException. I converted p12 file with keytool to jks and added the following lines to same file by replacing previous ones.

javax.net.ssl.keyStore=C:\certs\mycert.jks
javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=mypassword

Error message is the same in this case too:

Response code: Non HTTP response code: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException Response message: Non HTTP response message: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure

I use HTTP Client 4 as implementation for HTTP Samplers. When I import same certificate to browser, it is working correctly.

I tried to follow this tutorial too: How to configure JMeter to use client side SSL

Solution

You can use Options -> SSL Manager option, where you can select your .p12 file to be used in current Test plan.
