HTML

The HTML protocol adaptor is an HTML server that enables web browsers to access a Java Dynamic Management Kit agent through the HTTP communications protocol. When an HTML protocol adaptor is instantiated, it creates a TCP/IP socket and waits for incoming requests. By default, the HTML adaptor listens for incoming requests on port 8082. The HTML protocol adaptor provides login/password authentication.

The HTML protocol adaptor is provided as a tool for debugging and speeding up the development of agents. As such, it has certain limitations; for example it does not display complex types or multi-dimensional arrays.

Security on the manager side is handled by the HTML browser. On the server side, you need to provide a list of agents for which you want to provide security for, in order for those agents to be run securely.
