Load test of SSL Session ID Resumption

Question

We want to test if we use ssl session id to reuse SSL session, how it will impact on the performance. However we didn't find a way to test it, we use ngrinder or loadrunner to do load test, how to simulate ssl session id resumption in any of the two tools?

@EJP I know it works, but I don't know how much it can improve, if not very much ,I need think about other solution like HTTP. And I also want to know in the server cluster if one server crash, all request will be route to other servers which means all session id is lost, if it will impact lot on server cluster? Appreciate for your suggestion. — Xilang, Mar 01 '17 at 01:55

In LoadRunner, you can do this by setting the registry key.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mercury Interactive\LoadRunner\Protocols\WPlus\SSL\OpenSSL

Try setting the ReuseSSLSession's value to 1.
