ADF framework should not be an issue even with a FREE license. When you start your application do you have a JAVA applet that is started?

If yes, do you know if it's HTTP or HTTPS protocol that is used?

The recording may not work if it's HTTPS protocol and you do not have the NeoLoad certificate loaded in your browser.

I would suggest you to load the NeoLoad certificate in your browser and use IE for the recording. This is to make sure that the NeoLoad certificate will be used.

Please follow the procedure described here for the NeoLoad certificate.

Is it possible to get a screen shot of the error that you get when starting your application?

Also, if you connect without NeoLoad with Chrome/Firefox, could you click on the SSL icon next to HTTPS in the URL bar. I would like to see the SSL information like protocol and the cipher used.

Thanks for the screen shot. The error seems related to the SSL version used when recording with NeoLoad.

Without NeoLoad the browser and the server are using TLSv1.0 version. So let's force NeoLoad to use that version and see how it goes.

To do follow the procedure below:

1. Stop NeoLoad
2. Edit <install_dir>\conf\controller.properties
3. Go to the [General] section.
4. Make sure that you have the exact key: https.protocols=SSLv3,TLSv1
5. Save
6. Start NeoLoad

Try again your NeoLoad recording.

Let me know if you still encounter the SSL error.

You made a mistake. You have twice the "https.protocols" option.

Please only keep that one "https.protocols=SSLv3,TLSv1" and remove the other one "https.protocols=SSLv3,TLSv1,TLSv1.1".

The goal is to not have TLSv1.1 in the list. Restart NeoLoad after any modifications.

Could you try the same procedure but with only having SSLv3 in the list instead of SSLv3,TLSv1? Restart NeoLoad after the modification.

If it still does not work, could you install Fiddler (another proxy) and try the recording with NeoLoad and Fiddler at the same time.

To do so, start Fiddler and start a NeoLoad recording with Internet Explorer. NeoLoad should prompt you to use "127.0.0.1:8888" as proxy. Answer yes for the application proxy and continue the recording.

Normally the recording should work. Then try to replay the script in NeoLoad by disabling the proxy settings in the NeoLoad preferences.

Do you get a network error and if yes could you provide the error details?

Thanks

It's not clear. Were you able to record with or without Fiddler?

Regarding the LG issue, even it did not start or it took too much time to start. Open your task manager and run a user validation. Check if you have a "java.exe" process that is starting or not.

If not then something is blocking it. Check any firewall on the machine that could block it.

Otherwise please look at the "loadgenerator.log" accessible through the menu "Help-->Open logs folder..."

Have you looked at the loadgenerator.log file?

I do not even see a checkvu folder. That confirms that your LG process is blocked. Could you zip your log folder so i can review the log files?

Also could you open a command prompt and run "set" command. Send me the output of that command.

Thanks
