[SOLVED] SSLException while testing spring boot rest endpoint using JMeter

SSLException while testing spring boot rest endpoint using JMeter

I am trying to do load testing with JMeter for a spring boot application running locally on port 8080. Request configured is a GET request, and protocol is https. I get following error message:

javax.net.ssl.SSLException: Unsupported or unrecognized SSL message
    at java.base/sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketInputRecord.handleUnknownRecord(SSLSocketInputRecord.java:439)
    at java.base/sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketInputRecord.decode(SSLSocketInputRecord.java:184)

    at java.base/sun.security.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.startHandshake(SSLSocketImpl.java:402)

Any input on it would help?

Solution

Your are most probably using https to hit the server while you should use http as port 8080 is usually for http.

Otherwise change port to 8443 for https
