Hi,

I have a web application running on JBoss AS 5.1.0 that makes some JMX calls. During development I had authentication turned off and everything was working fine. After enabling authentication I'm running into a problem.

Here are the arguments supplied at server startup:

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=3000

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=true

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

-Djboss.platform.mbeanserver

-Djavax.management.builder.initial=org.jboss.system.server.jmx.MBeanServerBuilderImpl

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.login.config=java:/jaas/jmx-console

The server starts up clean, no errors. However, when I launch the web application it fails at the following line:

Map<String, Object> envVars = new HashMap<String, Object>();

envVars.put("com.sun.management.jmxremote.login.config", "java:/jaas/jmx-console");

envVars.put("jmx.remote.credentials", new String[] { "admin", "admin" });

try

{

    connector = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(new JMXServiceURL(JMX_URL), envVars);

}

I get the following error:

If I remove the line:

then I get:

I would like to be able to configure the authentication to use the JAAS login modules.

Thanks.
