I’m working on modernizing some JMX connectivity options and uncovered that it
appears that using two-way SSL/TLS does not have a long runway with the current
JDK, since ThreadLocal would be the only feasible technical approach.
Going a step further, it does seem that jmxmp or a jmxmp-like connector shipped
in the JDK would be a better longer term option as it removes the pain with the
two-port solution with JMX RMI.
To that end, I’d look to create a PR with an updated JMXMP provider for client
and server.
There is interest in eventually moving away from the RMI Connector, one
reason being that RMI uses serialization. I think having something along
the lines of the "Generic Connector" with the JMXMP protocol has been
discussed. Kevin might more to say on this. Due to its significance
then a move like this would likely involve a JEP.
