Configuring JMX Settings
Silk Central offers a set of default ports for the configuration of JMX settings.
Available Locations for Configuring JMX Settings
The communication on the default ports is by default unencrypted, meaning no SSL is running.
You can modify these settings in the
processconfig files in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Silk\Silk Central 21.0\instance_<instance number>_<instance name>\Conf. Note that the JMX connection is not secure as long as either of the two settings is set to
false.
Important: Micro Focus does not take responsibility for your JMX security settings. Please make sure that your IT department configures JMX security
accordingly.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| com.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl | The SSL is set to false by default. |
| com.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate | The authentication is set to false by default. |
| com.sun.management.jmxremote.host | With the default value localhost, connections to the JMX port are only possible from the local machine. There is no remote access to the JMX port. To enable remote access, remove this setting as well as the setting java.rmi.server.hostname. |
To access information or perform operations through JMX, you need the JMX connection string. Click
to open the
Settings dialog. On the
Servers tab, select the required server and copy the
JMX connection string. For additional information, see
Managing Instances.
