To Edit the JMX Connector

Use the Admin Service to configure a JSR-160 compliant remote JMX connector.

The JSR-160 compliant remote JMX connector handles communication between JMX clients, such as JConsole, and the JMX service, for domain management purposes.

  1. In the navigation tree, expand the Configuration node.
  2. Under the Configuration node, select the Admin Service node.

    The Edit JMX Connector page opens.

  3. Select the Security Enabled checkbox to cause JMX communication to be encrypted.

    This option is disabled by default.

  4. In the Address field, type the IP address of the naming service where the JMX connector server stub is registered.

    This is not the port of the server socket that does the actual JMX communication. This is the address of the network interface where the RMI registry is started. If your system has multiple network interfaces, modify this value so that only a particular interface is selected. The default value is 0.0.0.0.

  5. In the Port field, type the port number on which the naming service (RMI registry) listens for RMI client connections.

    The only use of this naming service is to download the RMI stubs. If the default port is occupied, a free port is used. Legal values are 1 - 65535. On UNIX® systems, creating sockets that listen on ports 1 - 1024 requires superuser privileges. The default value is 8686.

  6. In the Realm Name field, type the name that represents the special administrative realm.

    All authentication is handled by this realm. The default value is admin-realm.

  7. (Optional) In the Additional Properties section, specify additional properties.

    The Enterprise Server specifies several properties by default.

  8. Click Save.
  9. If you selected the Security Enabled checkbox, follow the steps in To Edit SSL Settings for the JMX Connector.
