Connect to the Liberty profile using JMX
This topic describes how to access Java Management Extensions (JMX) connectors on the Liberty profile. We can also access the secured JMX connector remotely using SSL.
There are two JMX connectors supported on the Liberty profile, each connector is enabled through a different 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 the client runs on the same host as the Liberty profile, and under the same user ID. |
| 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. |
An application deployed on the Liberty profile has unrestricted access to its MBeanServer directory.
