I need to talk to a service which requires CA signed certificates. I have certificates on my own username and the same certificates has been imported at the server side.So that when I send request, I will produce my certificate for authentication with the server and server matches those certificate and send the response back.

When I request the URL in the browser, it automatically selects/asks (In pop-up) with the certificate on my username and when I select that user name the request loads with a proper response.

Now I want to simulate the same thing in Gatling. However in Gatling I am getting a 401 (Unauthorized).

I verified at the server side that when I send the request from browser, I can able to see the certificates are passing but when I send request from Gatling the certificates are not sending along with request for authentication. At the server side it says no certificates found.

I have imported my username CA signed certificates into JDK keystore and sending the request as shown below.

def execute(): ScenarioBuilder = {
val parameters = Map("$filter" -> "${Id}")
val positionsScenario: ScenarioBuilder = scenario("Locations")
  .feed(accountFeed)
  .exec(requestHandler.getSAPRequest("Locations", parameters))
positionsScenario
}

def getRequest(requestName: String, parameters: Map[String, String]): ChainBuilder = {
val messageBuilder = exec(http(requestName)
  .get(s"$uri")
  .queryParamMap(parameters)
  .check(status.is(200))
)
messageBuilder
}

I have configured my certs using system.property since gatling.conf is not sending the the certificates in the scenario.

    System.setProperty("gatling.http.ssl.trustStore.file", "C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_111/jre/lib/security/cacerts")
    System.setProperty("gatling.http.ssl.trustStore.password", "changeit")
    System.setProperty("gatling.http.ssl.trustStore.type", "JKS")

    System.setProperty("gatling.http.ssl.keyStore.file", "C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_111/jre/lib/security/vikram")
    System.setProperty("gatling.http.ssl.keyStore.password", "changeit")
    System.setProperty("gatling.http.ssl.keyStore.type", "JKS")

Here are the log from gatling

In the server side log, it says client certificate not sent. I am suspecting I am sending something wrong in the request or my code itself.

Thanks

I figured it out what's the problem. The certificates which I am producing are not valid certificates to authenticate with the server.

How do I know whether they are valid/invalid?

Just enabled the java debug using the below line

System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "all") and see the debug line when the gatling initially starts. I see everything empty which is suspicious to me.

keyStore is : C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_111/jre/lib/security/vthaduri
keyStore type is : jks
keyStore provider is : 
init keystore
init keymanager of type SunX509
trustStore is: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_111\jre\lib\security\cacerts
trustStore type is : jks
trustStore provider is : 

Use javax.net.ssl [Just for debugging purpose]

Also I have used javax.net.ssl instead of gatling.http.ssl for setting trustore and keystore.

Lastly .disableClientSharing

val httpBuilder: HttpProtocolBuilder = http
      .disableClientSharing
      .baseURL(AppConfig.getRuntimeConfig("endpoints." + environment + ".sap"))
      .connectionHeader("Keep-Alive")
      .acceptHeader("*/*")
      .acceptEncodingHeader("gzip, deflate")

Later I configured everything properly as per galting.
