JMeter JMS: Getting Error: Failed to connect via SSL to [ssl://<server-name>:7352]: Received fatal alert: protocol_version - ssl

Question

I'm trying to publish message to a Tibco Queue on a SSL Tibco Server through JMeter 5.4.1 using JMS Point-to-Point Logic Controller.
JMS Point To Point Controller Config
But I'm getting the following error message:
2021-06-13 12:25:46,278 ERROR o.a.j.p.j.s.JMSSampler: Not permitted:

I tried:
openssl s_client -connect [server-name]:7352
It gave the following output:
SSL-Session:
Protocol : TLSv1.2
Cipher : ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
Session-ID:
Session-ID-ctx:
So added the following line in jmeter.properties file.
https.default.protocol=TLSv1.2
Also commented jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms from java.security file for JDK (I'm using jdk1.8.0_291)
# jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, RC4, DES, MD5withRSA, \
# DH keySize < 1024, EC keySize < 224, 3DES_EDE_CBC, anon, NULL, \
# include jdk.disabled.namedCurves
But still I'm getting the same error. Someone please help.

Answer 1

I think you're using the wrong property (not only the wrong property but the wrong place as well), you're setting default protocol for HTTPS, while you need to set it for TLS, i.e. add the next line to system.properties file
jdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.2
JMeter restart will be required to apply this property.
If it won't help or you will get different errors - consider adding the next line there as well:
javax.net.debug=all
and then check jmeter.log file and stdout for any suspicious entries

Answer 2

I resolved it by using the latest tibjms.jar in the lib directory in JMeter as the Tibco server was upgraded some hours before I raised this issue.
