Recording HTTPS from iPad

[Sergio Boso <se...@bosoconsulting.it>]

HI everybody,

I'm working to test a server application that is used from an iPad client.
It is an enterprise app, so everything is encrypted.

I set up Jmeter as a proxy as usual, and I can manage to record the traffic from the iPad browser.
When I launch the app, nothing work.

My guess is that the app is not able to manage the exception due to the dummy Jmeter certificate, so the communication does not even 
start.

While we are contacting the app company, I was wondering if there is any effective, standard solution to this problem.
Any way to present a standard certificate from Jmeter?
Or, any way to set-up a truly transparent proxy, by setting the jmeter machine as a default gateway for the device?
This would require at least to propagate the DNS protocol beside http?

Any suggestion is welcome

thank you and best regards
Sergio

I have used Charles Proxy (http://www.charlesproxy.com/) for the past two
years in my iOS testing. It has a certificate that can be installed on an
iOS device that allows SSL traffic to be read by the Charles app running on
another computer for debugging purposes. You might look into using that
certificate with JMeter or try using the Charles forwarding options to
redirect traffic it has already read onto JMeter.

Hello Sergio,
I think IOs refuses to connect to self signed or invalid certificates by
default.

You can try to register it or create a valid one that you will insert in
the keystore used by JMeter.
