Can someone tell me how to setup the SSL security certificate on a linux machine which is headless From the reqgular windows browser when I try to access a site for login..IT will ask me to accept the certificate..but for the Linux headless machine I am trying to mimic the same behavior and how do I force Grinder to accept it and where do I store the client Security cerificate in Grinder.. Can some one give me more information on how to get this working.. Thanks

OK but how do I get the passphrase etc and what do I need to store in the keystore..Like in case of the windows browser..the end user does not have to anything..it automatically saves the certificate..but on Linux which is running headless how and where do I get the certificate from ..and where do I need to import into..
I have not done this before..This is my first time

Google for "java keystore"- you'll find lots of information.

You need to store the client certificate in the keystore. You can export
the certificate from your browser, but you'll probably need to convert
it into a different format to import it to a keystore.

http://portecle.sourceforge.net/ is a UI for keystore management that
you might find useful.

OK..but I see on the server that there is a folder that is created as /usr/local/ssl..but on the testing machines .that folder does not seem to be there..Do i need to create one and then export it in the classpath..or how does Java..know where the ssl is stored..like how do I tell java that the ssl certs are stored in specific path..
Also when I export from the browser the format of the cert if PEM...but how can I know what kind of format does linux machines accept ..? Is there a website for that ?

The keystore mechanism is Java specific - nothing to do with Linux, or
any existing /usr/local/ssl directories.

You basically need to create a keystore (use the Java keytool command),
export the certification and the private key from your browser, covert
them from PEM to DER (the openssl tool is good for this), and then
import them into your keystore (see
http://www.agentbob.info/agentbob/79-AB.html).

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=java+keystore+pem&aq=f&oq=&aqi= has
more.
