Interface JMXAuthenticator
-
public interface JMXAuthenticatorInterface to define how remote credentials are converted into a JAAS Subject. This interface is used by the RMI Connector Server, and can be used by other connector servers.
The user-defined authenticator instance is passed to the connector server in the environment map as the value of the attribute
JMXConnectorServer.AUTHENTICATOR. For connector servers that use only this authentication system, if this attribute is not present or its value isnullthen no user authentication will be performed and full access to the methods exported by theMBeanServerConnectionobject will be allowed.If authentication is successful then an authenticated
subjectfilled in with its associatedprincipalsis returned. Authorization checks will be then performed based on the given set of principals.- Since:
