How to use multiple SSL certificates (JKS) while performing load runs with JMeter

I need to perform a load run with 100 User Load for an API with certificate-based authentication. I had SIX different certificates in JKS format. I would like to know how can we use all these six certificates while performing a load run. Can we have some configurations like we use CSV Data config for parameterizing data?

I tried by mentioning the path of all six certificates under Keystore properties of the System property file and when I run, Jmeter starts taking the SIX certificates in a sequel, but it didn't work

Is there any other configurations I can use?

Can you please help me in achieving this

  1. Put all your certificates into a Java Keystore
  2. Point JMeter to use the keystore by manipulating javax.net.ssl.keyStore and javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword system properties
  3. Add Keystore Configuration element which will traverse the certificates in the keystore and use the different certificates for each thread (virtual user)

You can take a look at How to Use Multiple Certificates When Load Testing Secure Websites article which contains step-by-step instructions on setting up keystore and JMeter
