Make sure Java & Javascript are enabled
In order to connect to the remote server and allow access to the remote JMeter console we use a remote desktop application by NOMACHINE. This remote desktop application uses a Java Applet. Please follow these instructions to make sure that all of these parts will operate normally during your test.
- Java installation is required for the remote connection application. You can download it from http://www.java.com/en/.
- Javascript must be enabled. Check under Internet Options => Security to make sure Javascript is enabled.
Outbound port 22 is open
We use SSH (port 22) to communicate with the remote servers, please verify that outbound port 22 is open.
