Hey Damon, Whe you start up tomcat using the jmxrmote params the default is have SSL enabled and to force authentication. If you want to connect to it quickly, you have to explicitly turn this OFF! Try
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9004 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false Then, when you start up jconsole, click the Remote Tab Host or IP: localhost Port: 9004 I got this to work using Windows XP SP2, Tomcat 5.5.12, JDK 1.5.5_05. *NOTE* This isn't recommended for a production environment because it's not secure. Check the documentation on how to set up authentication or client cert authentication. -rOcK -----Original Message----- From: Damon Rand [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 11:42 AM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Running jconsole against TC 5.5 on Windows Hi there, I'm stuck.. I am running TC 5.5.12 and JDK 1.5.0_05 on Windows as a service. When I start TC with -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote in the config it starts but jconsole shows nothing in the local connections. When I start TC with -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8999 TC crashes out and the logs are empty.. Debug gives me little extra info. Has anyone actually done this on Windows?
