Securing JMX Ports

The Data Server, Data Collector, Display Server, and Historian all open JMX ports for monitoring. By default, these jmx ports are unsecured, but they can be secured either by user name and password or by SSL.  To configure the JMX ports of the RTView processes to use SSL and/or username and password, go to the SECURITY tab in the RTView Configuration Application. 

Note that the start/stop/status_rtv scripts use JMX to communicate with the RTView processes. If you secure the JMX ports on the RTView processes, you will need to save arguments for use by the scripts in the Configuration Application SECURITY tab or pass additional arguments into the start/stop/status_rtv scripts.

To secure with user name and password, you will need a java password file. To secure with SSL, you will need a certificate, truststore and keystore (see RTView© Enterprise User's Guide Version 6.4.2.)
