I just installed LoadRunner and tried to record actions (clicks etc) on a website. No matter what site I use (e.g. google.com) or what browser I use (chrome, firefox, explorer), I ALWAYS get a certificate error:
www.google.ch uses an invalid security certificate.
Errorcode: sec_error_unknown_issue
Please see the Screenshot.
When accessing web pages outside of LoadRunner (i.e. just open a browser and go), I do not experience any of the issue mentioned above. I am just able to go to the website I desire (using chrome, firefox or explorer).
So the problem is clearly associated with LoadRunner! I installed LoadRunner twice; once without a specific certificate, and once with a certificate I create on my own (given the instructions in the LoadRunner User Manual) and used the following steps:
1. Opened a comand line on windows
2. Changed the directory to where I can find the executables
3. gen_ca_cert -common-name justForTesting
4. gen_ca_cert -install cacert.cer
5. gen_cert -common-name justForTesting
6. gen_cert -install cert.cer
7. Imported the files necessary to continue with the installation of LoadRunner.
But still, with or without certificate, LoadRunner is not able to open a webpage. I REALLY need some help to fix this error!!
Update
I tried to follow the suggestion made here to change the length of the RSA key, but it did not solve the problem (including restart of PC):
