Not able to create 'rmi_keystore.jks' for jmeter distributed testing

I am trying to load test my application using jmeter with remote hosts.

But I am not able to create a 'rmi_keystore.jks' using 'sh create-rmi-keystore.sh' under /bin directory of the Jmeter folder.

When I entered the following command it gives the create-rmi-keystore.sh: 19: keytool: not found

xyz@xyz-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:~$ cd /opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin/
xyz@xyz-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin$ sh create-rmi-keystore.sh 
create-rmi-keystore.sh: 19: keytool: not found
Copy the generated rmi_keystore.jks to jmeter/bin folder or reference it in property 'server.rmi.ssl.keystore.file'
xyz@xyz-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin$

After reading on the internet i found i have to add the jdk /bin path to the PATH var

xyz@xyz-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin$ export JAVA_HOME=/opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_202
xyz@xyz-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin$ export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
xyz@xyz-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin$ echo $PATH
/home/xyz/.nvm/versions/node/v10.16.0/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/xyz/gaurav/soft/jdk1.8.0_202/bin/bin:/opt/jdk/jdk1.8.0_202/bin
xyz@xyz-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin$

still I am getting keytool error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: rmi_keystore.jks (Permission denied) error

xyz@xyz-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin$ sh create-rmi-keystore.sh

xyz@xyz-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin$

finally tried with sudo sh create-rmi-keystore.sh but it gives create-rmi-keystore.sh: 19: keytool: not found

xyz@xyz-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin$ sudo sh create-rmi-keystore.sh 
[sudo] password for xyz:

xyz@xyz-HP-EliteBook-840-G2:/opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/bin$

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and JMeter 5.4.1

Please help how can i generate rmi_keystore.jks?

You cannot create the keystore because your user doesn't have write permissions for the current folder, you can grant your current user ownership for the JMeter folder using chmod like:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/apache-jmeter-5.4.1/

once done you should be able to generate the keystore.

Just in case if you don't want/need secure communication between master and slaves you can add the next line to user.properties file

server.rmi.ssl.disable=true

this way JMeter won't look for the rmi_keystore.jks file.
