Using a distinct client certificate on different threads

Hi,

I'm setting up a loadtest in SOAP-UI with a client certificate (and a server certificate) and I'm running 15 parallel threads executing the requests. The WS-Security Configurations tab in the Project view gives me the possibility to use 1 client certificate for these 15 threads. However, I want to investigate the contribution of authentication/authorization mechanism on the server to the reponse times. So, I want to give each thread it's own client certificate. Is there a way to accomplish this in SOAP-UI

Regards,

    Hi,

    hmm.. are you using the certificate for https or ws-security? (or both..)

    Hi Arno,

    the upcoming version allows you to specify specific certificates per request, you will have to add all certificates as keystores in the containing projects WS-Security settings and can then use property-expansion together with (for example) the ThreadCount variable to use different keystores for each thread.. sorry to keep you waiting, the release is really really close now (and I mean that!)

    regards!
