How to make the JMX encrypted password authentication work?

Question

Thank you for this post the jconsole -debug was the break through

I believe what you are missing is that you have not configured "a" in the jmxremote.access, Using your above example, when i changed a few lines it worked for me

note the addition of the

user = new JMXPrincipal(name);

and using the uncommented lines in "jmxremote.access"

controlRole readwrite

I hope this helps other programmers in the same situation.
