How to access secured JMX connection in JBoss from client? H

[plutus]

Hi,

I am using JBoss 3.2.5

and I secured JMX access (jmx-invoker-adaptor-server.jar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml):

<!-- Uncomment to require authenticated users -->







Problem: Now I get no more access to JBoss JMX.

I Use the follwing code to access JMX. Without security I had no problem!


props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
props.put(Context.URL_PKG_PREFIXES, "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");

// BEGIN: I've ADDED THIS, BUT CODE DOES NOT WORK. user/pass is a valid combination (is ok for jmx-console login!)
props.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, "user");
props.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, "pass");
// END

Context ctx = new InitialContext(props);

RMIAdaptor rmiAdaptor = (RMIAdaptor) ctx.lookup("jmx/rmi/RMIAdaptor");
RMIConnectorImpl impl = new RMIConnectorImpl(rmiAdaptor);
conn = (MBeanServer) impl;
ctx.close();
// ...


Please Help,
thx a lot
