Adding domain connections for Streams Studio

To use Streams Studio with IBM® Streams, you must add at least one domain connection.

1. In the Streams Explorer view in Streams Studio, right-click Streams Domain Connections and select Add Connection. The Add Streams Domain Connection window opens.
2. Provide the domain ID and related JMX service URL information.
   1. Locate the domain information by using one of the following methods:
      • Click Find Domain to locate and select the domain.
        
      • Run the streamtool getjmxconnect command from a shell window to identify the JMX service URL. Copy the information into the Domain ID field. For example:

        $ streamtool getjmxconnect
        service:jmx:jmxmp://host1.ibm.com:9975

   2. Click OK to add the connection.
3. From the TLS Protocol list, select the cryptography protocol that matches the domain configuration. The protocol that you select must match the value on the jmx.sslProtocol domain property. To obtain that value, run the streamtool getdomainproperty jmx.sslOption command.
   Note: If you used the Find Domain button to locate and select the domain in the previous step, the cryptography protocol for the domain is automatically selected.
4. Optional: Select the user authentication method. Streams Studio supports client certificate authentication and Kerberos authentication.
   • To use client certificate authentication, complete the following steps:
     1. Select the Use client certificate for authentication option.
     2. On the Streams Explorer preference page, specify the path to the client certificate or a PKCS #12 file that contains the certificate.
     
     
   • To use Kerberos authentication, select the Use Kerberos authentication option.
     Note: Kerberos authentication is supported on Linux only.
