How to Enable Remote Access to the JMX Console

The JMX Console is secured by restricting access to it to server localhost only. Also, the JMX Console is not accessible through HTTP protocol, even if it is specifically re-enabled.

Administrators attempting to access the JMX Console from a remote machine may encounter all remote access attempts being redirected with no error.

The following message will be shown: “Please wait, you will be redirected in a moment.”

However, you can still enable remote access to JMX Console when necessary.

How to enable remote access to the JMX Console

1. On the UCMDB server, launch the Web browser and enter the following address: https://localhost:8443/jmx-console

   You may have to log in with a user name and password.

2. Locate UCMDB:service=Settings Services and click the link to jump to the Operations table.

3. Locate the setGlobalSettingValue operation.

4. Provide the following parameter values:

   • For UCMDB server JMX Console:

     name: restrict.jmx.to.localhost

     value: false

   • For Data Flow Probe JMX Console:

     name: restrict.probe.jmx.to.localhost

     value: false

   Note The default value is true, which disables remote access to the JMX Console, and you can only access the JMX Console from localhost.

5. Click Invoke.

6. Restart the UCMDB server.

   The change takes effect and affects both the UCMDB server JMX Console and the Data Flow Probe JMX Console.
