For Remote Access to MBeans

To enable remote access to JMX, where JConsole running on a remote host can access the MBeans but JConsole running on other hosts cannot, add the following options to the JVM startup:

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=<port num>

When you enable remote JMX access, you must carefully consider the security ramifications. For a test server, you can add the following option, which allows non-SSL access to the JMX server without providing any authentication data:

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

Using this option is very insecure. You should never use this option on a production server, but it might be appropriate for a test server. For more information, consult the following web site: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17476_01/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/management/agent.html#jmxagent.
