JMX password read access issue

Question

When I try to use JMX to monitor an application like this:

java -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999 \\
     -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=fals         


        

Answer 1

Make sure the user you are using to run the java process have access to the file (owner/read permissions).

Try:

chmod 600 jmxremote.password

Plus I suggest you'll make your own password file and run it with

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=pwFilePath
