Configuring JMX Settings

Silk Central offers a set of default ports for the configuration of JMX settings.

Available Locations for Configuring JMX Settings

The communication on the default ports is by default unencrypted, meaning no SSL is running.
Important: Micro Focus does not take responsibility for your JMX security settings. Please make sure that your IT department configures JMX security accordingly.
Setting Description
com.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl The SSL is set to false by default.
com.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate The authentication is set to false by default.
com.sun.management.jmxremote.host With the default value localhost, connections to the JMX port are only possible from the local machine. There is no remote access to the JMX port. To enable remote access, remove this setting as well as the setting java.rmi.server.hostname.
You can modify these settings in the processconfig files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Silk\Silk Central 20.5\instance_<instance number>_<instance name>\Conf. Note that the JMX connection is not secure as long as either of the two settings is set to false.

To access information or perform operations through JMX, you need the JMX connection string. Click Settings to open the Settings dialog. On the Servers tab, select the required server and copy the JMX connection string. For additional information, see Managing Instances.
