I finally had some times to do some testing.
First even with useLocalPorts=true, the JmxConnectorServer listen on
all interfaces but won't accept connection from remote host. From the
tomcat code, only the rmi client socket is forced to localhost at
least on tomcat 6.0.x. A RMI server Socket could be created to force
listening on a specified interface but I am not sure of any side
effect.
Second, for my password problem, there was a problem with my
configuration. In the tomcat service for JavaOptions, i had
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=true (with a space after
true), so when parsing the system properties in the Listener, the
lines (in the init() method):
String authenticateValue = System.getProperty(
"com.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate", "true");
authenticate = Boolean.parseBoolean(authenticateValue);
returned false.
This is only a problem with tomcat as a service (on windows), in
command line i'm guessing the double space won't be taken into account
by the shell.
And now, another problem with this is that i can't reference
catalina.base in those options. I tried :
%CATALINA_BASE%, $CATALINA_BASE , ${catalina.base} and neither values
are expanded.
Is it possible at all?
It is not so much of a problem, i can write the path by hand, but it
would be nice to have.
