JMeter 4 - can't execute jmeter-server in windows 7

Question

I download latest JMeter 4,

To run JMeter in remote node, start the JMeter server component on all machines you wish to run on by running the JMETER_HOME/bin/jmeter-server (unix) or JMETER_HOME/bin/jmeter-server.bat (windows) script.

I try to execute jmeter-server.bat in windows 7 and got the following error:

Server failed to start: java.rmi.server.ExportException: Listen failed on port:
0; nested exception is:
        java.io.FileNotFoundException: rmi_keystore.jks (The system cannot find
the file specified)
An error occurred: Listen failed on port: 0; nested exception is:
        java.io.FileNotFoundException: rmi_keystore.jks (The system cannot find
the file specified)
errorlevel=1

It seems that a file rmi_keystore.jks is missing. (I can't find it in JMeter folders)

In JMeter 3.3 jmeter-server.bat is working.

EDIT 1

after I execute create-rmi-keystore.bat it created rmi_keystore.jks, but I get other error:

Server failed to start: java.rmi.server.ExportException: Listen failed on port:
0; nested exception is:
        java.io.IOException: java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Cannot rec
over key
An error occurred: Listen failed on port: 0; nested exception is:
        java.io.IOException: java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Cannot rec
over key
errorlevel=1

error from log:

EDIT 2

I tried to change server.rmi.ssl.keystore.password to password I wrote but got a different error

Server failed to start: java.rmi.server.ExportException: Listen failed on port:
0; nested exception is:
        java.io.IOException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorre
ct
An error occurred: Listen failed on port: 0; nested exception is:
        java.io.IOException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorre
ct

EDIT 3

I tried to set the server port manually SET SERVER_PORT=1099 according to reference but still trying to listen through port 0

On Windows this can be done by: SET SERVER_PORT=

In case you dont want to use SSL for RMI, you can disable the same by updating the "server.rmi.ssl.disable" key under jmeter.properties. — Vikas Bodke, Mar 05 '18 at 07:29
Disabling SSL for RMI should only be considered as an option when you work in a dedicated/secure enviroment. — cuh, Sep 26 '18 at 14:12

To solve issue, you need to follow:

http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/remote-test.html#setup_ssl

The problem was the answer to first question when executing create-rmi-keystore

What is your first and last name?

I should have answered rmi as it the default value in JMeter's property server.rmi.ssl.keystore.alias

Also (difference from JMeter 3.3) I needed to change JMeter's property remote_hosts so that it uses my host name (change from 127.0.0.1)

I am also setting master-slave config for jmeter. Facing the same issue. I had followed http://www.testingdiaries.com/jmeter-on-aws/ for setting up jmeter on remote machine. Please let me know the meaning of "my host name" in context of aws server and client? – Ajay Apr 28 '18 at 02:12

@Ajay when jmeter server is running it print your host name : `SSLRMIServerSocketFactory(host=/x.x.x.x` – Ori Marko Sep 06 '18 at 05:40

Had the same problem.

To solve it you have several options:

Set rmi-keystore password to changeit, as described in jmeter.properties:

Password of Trust store
server.rmi.ssl.truststore.password=changeit
If using custom password - add it to user.properties on jmeter-server machine
Disable SSL by passing -Jserver.rmi.ssl.disable=true

What worked for me (with JMeter 5.0) was an dedicated jmeter-server.properties file with this configurations:

# Type of keystore : JKS
server.rmi.ssl.keystore.type=JKS
#
# Keystore file that contains private key
server.rmi.ssl.keystore.file=rmi_keystore.jks
#
# Password of Keystore
server.rmi.ssl.keystore.password=changeit
#
# Key alias
server.rmi.ssl.keystore.alias=rmi
#
# Type of truststore : JKS
server.rmi.ssl.truststore.type=JKS
#
# Keystore file that contains certificate
server.rmi.ssl.truststore.file=rmi_keystore.jks
#
# Password of Trust store
server.rmi.ssl.truststore.password=changeit

I created a rmi_keystore.jks file with the create-rmi-keystore command in the JMeter bin folder. Then I started my server with jmeter-server -Gjmeter-server.properties. Also check then the log from the server to get the endpoint to connect your client with the server as user7294900 suggested.

Created remote object: UnicastServerRef2 [liveRef: [endpoint:[<this is your server>

I faced all the above problems, until i found the solution to it, which is this:

The error java.security.UnrecoverableKeyException: Cannot recover key occurs when the keystore and keyEntry passwords are different.
To resolve this issue, you must remove all traces of the past certificate and request file.
You must generate a new keystore, keyEntry and CSR and specify the same password for the keystore and the keyEntry.

There are two batch files in your bin folder. Run the "create-rmi-keystore" file first and then "jmeter"
