Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Domain File Format Reference

jmx-connector

Configures a JSR 160/255 compliant remote JMX connector, which handles the JMX communication between the domain administration server, the node agents, and the remote server instances. This JMX connector also handles JMX communication between an external management client and the domain administration server.

Only the system JMX connector is started by the server processes at startup. Do not configure additional JMX connectors.

Table 1–89 jmx-connector Attributes

Attribute 

Default 

Description 

name

none 

Specifies the name of the connector used by the designated system JMX connector for JMX communication between server instances. Do not modify this name. 

protocol

rmi_jrmp

(optional) Specifies the protocol that this JMX connector supports. The only supported protocol is rmi_jrmp. Do not modify this value.

address

0.0.0.0

Specifies the IP address of the naming service where the JMX connector server stub is registered. This is not the port of the server socket that does the actual JMX communication. This is the address of the network interface where the RMI registry is started. If your system has multiple network interfaces, modify this value so that only a particular interface is selected. 

port

8686

Specifies the port number on with the naming service (RMI registry) listens for RMI client connections. The only use of this naming service is to download the RMI stubs. If the default port is occupied, a free port is used. Legal values are 1 - 65535. On UNIX, creating sockets that listen on ports 1 - 1024 requires superuser privileges.

auth-realm-name

admin-realm

Specifies the name of an auth-realm subelement of the security-service element for the server instance that is running this JMX connector's server end. Note that this is a dedicated administration security realm.

security-enabled

(optional) Determines whether JMX communication is encrypted.  

enabled

true

(optional) Enables the JMX connector. Do not modify this value.
