Server API JMX layer

Server API JMX layer does not support username and password authentication. Use the authentication steps listed here to authenticate the JMX layer.

The remote JMX layer of the Server API does not support username and password based authentication. It ignores the api.custom.authentication properties. Regardless of the value of these properties and whether custom authentication is enabled or not for the Server API, the remote JMX layer performs the following authentication:

• If SSL is turned on and SSL client authentication is turned on, the remote JMX layer performs SSL-based authentication (as in IBM® Security Verify Directory Integrator 6.0).
• If SSL is turned on and SSL client authentication is turned off, the remote JMX layer does not work.
• If SSL is turned off, the remote JMX client is successfully authenticated only if its host is specified on the api.remote.nonssl.hosts property, that is, host-based authentication is assumed. In this case the client is granted admin authority.

The net result is that the Server API JMX layer does not support username and password authentication:
