JConsole command line credentials

Question

Is it possible to pass credentials for monitored resource to JConsole while starting it via command line. I\'ve got the command like that right now.

${jdk.ho         


        

Answer 1

I don't think there is a command line access option to do this. It's a sensible approach since it would reveal credentials in the process signature which might be visible to others.

However, you can specify a password file using the system property com.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file.

These options are documented here.
