So I have JMeter setup to test my SSL-enabled site (I've got a real certificate from Geotrust, not a self-signed cert) and I've been running into problems when I try testing an SSL connection directly from Tomcat. I get:
javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated

whenever I try to connect. This is using JMeter 2.7 with the HttpClient4 implementation. It is a simple GET request to one of my services hosted on Tomcat 7 (7.0.27 for anyone interested).
Here is my Tomcat config for my SSL connector. Note that I have APR/native installed and this is running on an Ubuntu 12.04 server up on EC2.
<Connector port="8443" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
protocol="HTTP/1.1"
URIEncoding="UTF-8"
acceptorThreadCount="5"
maxThreads="400"
scheme="https"
secure="true"
SSLEnabled="true"
SSLCipherSuite="ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:AES128-GCM-SHA256:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!EDH"
SSLHonorCipherOrder="true"
SSLVerifyClient="optional"
SSLCertificateFile="/etc/tomcat7/ssl/star.example.com.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile="/etc/tomcat7/ssl/star.example.com.key"
SSLCertificateChainFile="/etc/tomcat7/ssl/geotrust.crt" />
Again this is just a problem with JMeter. I can hit the site without issue using any browsers, and if I stick Apache in front of Tomcat and use either mod_proxy or mod_jk, I have no issues. Any help would be appreciated.
