NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID Error with Chrome 66 using Apache JMeter as Proxy

Question

Above mentioned privacy error is displaying while I tried to record some scenarios in Apache JMeter 4.0. I have installed ApacheJMeterTemporaryRootCA certificate in my local bin path of JMeter folder and imported in Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder in chrome.

And myself using Chrome : Version 66.0.3359.27 (Official Build) dev (32-bit) to recording purpose in JMeter. Also given 8080 as a port number in both proxy settings in chrome and JMeter - Test Script Recorder.

Still can't understand why I can't record several actions, as I did same thing in previous versions of Apache JMeter. So please let me know the solution for it.

Answer 1

You can use the following workarounds:

1. Just type badidea anywhere in the page and you will be able to proceed.
2. Launch Chrome with --ignore-certificate-errors command-line argument
3. Switch to alternative way of recording a JMeter test using i.e. JMeter Chrome Extension, in this case you won't have to worry about configuring proxies and/or SSL certificates.
