Use this information to access Java™ Management
Extensions (JMX) connectors on Liberty. You can also access the secured JMX connector remotely by
using SSL.
About this task
There are two JMX connectors supported on Liberty, each connector is enabled through a different
Liberty feature:
localConnector-1.0 and
restConnector-1.0.
- The local connector is enabled through the Liberty feature localConnector-1.0. Access through the local connector is protected by the policy implemented by the SDK in use. Currently the SDKs require that the client runs on the same host as Liberty, and under the same user ID.
- The REST connector is enabled through the Liberty feature restConnector-1.0. Remote access through the REST connector is protected by a single administrator role. In addition, SSL is required to keep the communication confidential. The restConnector-1.0 feature already includes the ssl-1.0 feature.
Note: An application deployed on Liberty has unrestricted access to its MBeanServer directory.
