Connecting JConsole Securely to Application Server
This procedure describes how to connect JConsole to Enterprise Server with security enabled
on the JMX Connector. By default, security is enabled on Enterprise Server cluster or enterprise
proles. Use this procedure if you have security enabled on the developer prole's JMX
Connector.
Install Enterprise Server onthe client machine (where JConsole isinstalled).
The only reason you need this is to let JConsole know where the server certicate of the Domain
Administration Server that you trust is located. To obtain that certicate, invoke at least one
remote asadmin command and to do that, you need the local installation of Enterprise Server.
Start the Enterprise Server on appserver.sun.com.
Since this is a cluster or enterprise domain, the system JMX Connector server is secure. To
enable security on the developer prole JMX Connector, see the Admin Console online help.
From the local Enterprise Server installation, run install-dir\bin\asadmin list --user admin
--secure=true --host appserver.sun.com --port 4848 (where 4848 is the server's
administration port).
Though asadmin list command is chosen for this example, you can run any remote asadmin
command. You are prompted to accept the certicate sent by the DAS of appserver.sun.com.
Pressy to accept thecerticate sent by the DAS on appserver.sun.com.
The server's certicate is stored in a le called .asadmintruststore in your home directory on
the client machine.
Note – This step is not required if your server machine and client machine is the same. That is, if
you are running JConsole also on appserver.sun.com.
Let JConsole knowthe trust store location byusing the following JConsole command:
JDK-dir\bin\jconsole.exe -J-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore="C:\Documents and
Settings\user\.asadmintruststore"
