Hi, We do this in the startup-script (e.g. /opt/activemq/bin/activemq), not in activemq.xml:
ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START="-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=11099 " ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START="$ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=${ACTIVEMQ_CONF}/jmx.password" ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START="$ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.access.file=${ACTIVEMQ_CONF}/jmx.access" ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START="$ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false" ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START="$ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote" Cheers, Geurt -----Original Message----- From: James Green [mailto:james.mk.gr...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, September 26, 2014 4:14 PM To: users Subject: 5.10.0: Unable to connect via jmx Config: <managementContext> <managementContext connectorPort="11099" rmiServerPort="11119" jmxDomainName="org.apache.activemq"/> </managementContext> Logs: 2014-09-26 14:58:31,278 | INFO | JMX consoles can connect to service:jmx:rmi://localhost:11119/jndi/rmi://localhost:11099/jmxrmi | org.apache.activemq.broker.jmx.ManagementContext | JMX connector Replacing both localhost instances with dns name I can't connect via jconsole (fails after about five seconds). I can telnet to both 11119 and 11099. I'm trying every username/password pair I can find including nothing, admin/admin, system/manager, admin/activemq Any ideas? Thanks, James
