I am testing HTTPS Requests to a custom server using JMeter, but the certificate that the custom server returns in untrusted (as this is a development server). Because of this, the requests fail as it needs a signed/verified CA Certificate.

Is there a way to turn off Jmeter's certificate verification similar to curl (-k option) ?

You can include the certificate from the development server in Jmeter jvm.

  1. Download the certificate using any of the browsers. Here is a link on how to do this.

  2. Identify the jvm that Jmeter uses. This is generally your JAVA_HOME environment varaible.

  3. Add the certificate to the jvm truststore. Here are the steps.

That should fix it.
