Remote Client for MBean with Security enabled.

[gogineni]

Hi Im trying to invoke operations on an MBean from a remote client. I got it working successfully if no authentication is enabled on my jmx-console with this code:

Hashtable props = new Hashtable();
props.put(InitialContext.PROVIDER_URL,"jnp://:1099");
props.put(InitialContext.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
ctx = new InitialContext(props);

MBeanServerConnection server =(MBeanServerConnection) ctx.lookup("jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor");
Object obj = server.invoke(new ObjectName("jboss.ws4ee:service=AxisService"),"listServiceEndpoints",new Object[0],new String[0]);

However if authentication is enabled I cant figure out a way to pass credential information. There seem to be no methods on the MBeanServerConnection where I can set the credential information.

This is with JBoss 4. Can anyone point me to where I can find this information?

Thanks
Pratima

Never mind found the solution. As per http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=HowDoISecureTheJMXConnection

the Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL & Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS are propagated.

so adding these to my properties helps:

props.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
props.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, passwd);
