Problem with JMeter and HTTP proxy with SSL

We are using JMeter 2.4 and trying to use an HTTP proxy to collect a test plan.

"HTTPS spoofing attempt" is not marked.

The error we get in the JMeter log:

2010/08/02 14:46:02 ERROR - jmeter.protocol.http.proxy.Proxy: Problem with SSL certificate? Make sure your browser is configured to accept the JMeter proxy certificate:

Any ideas?

You must remove the automatically signed certificate from your browser in relation to your website and restart the recording session using JMeter 2.4. In this new session, accept the dummy JMeter instance.

(in Firefox: Options> Advanced> Encryption> View certificates ==> Certificate Manager> Servers> select a website certificate and Delete ...)

From http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Proxy_Server

When recording HTTPS, the JMeter proxy server uses a dummy certificate to allow it to accept an SSL connection from the browser. This certificate is not one of the certificates that browsers usually trust, and will not be for the correct host, so the browser should display a dialog asking if you want to accept the certificate or not. For example: 1) The server name "www.example.com" does not match the certificate name "JMeter Proxy". Someone may be trying to eavesdrop on you. 2) certificate for "JMeter Proxy" signed by an unknown certificate of authority "JMeter Provider". It is not possible to verify that it is a valid certificate. You will need to accept the certificate in order to allow the JMeter proxy SSL traffic to record it. You must accept the certificate temporarily.

You may need to create a certificate for Jmeter. The following is a fantastic article that details how to do this:

Install the Jmeter Chrome extension , which records the HTTPS protocol without any problems.
