JMX Admin client unable to connect to secured Websphere server

[Ashishh Verma]

Hi,
I am trying to create a custom admin client for a stand alone websphere server. Security is turned on for my server.

Websphere Version -> 6.1.0
Security -> Federal Repository


Admin console is secured and it prompts for password. it accepts the windows administrator password. i am trying to use SOAP connector port available at 8882.

I am able to get the admin client when security is turned off in my server. But when security is turned on i get an error.

My code and the error i get is:

------------------------------------------------------------
CODE
------------------------------------------------------------
java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_TYPE, "SOAP");
props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_HOST, "blrkec95828d");
props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_PORT, "8882");
props.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_SECURITY_ENABLED, "true");
props.setProperty(AdminClient.USERNAME, "user1");
props.setProperty(AdminClient.PASSWORD, "user24test");
props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "C:/Program Files/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer2/profiles/AppSrv02/etc/DummyClientTrustFile.jks");
props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", "C:/Program Files/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer2/profiles/AppSrv02/etc/DummyClientKeyFile.jks");
props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "WebAS");
props.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "WebAS");

try{
acl = AdminClientFactory.createAdminClient(props);
}
catch(Exception ex){
new AdminException(ex).printStackTrace();
}

PLEASE HELP....

Hi,

your code seems fine.

now you must take care about the execution and the jar files loaded.

for example I use a java program to connect to my App Servers like you :

public static AdminClient createAdminClient()
//private void createAdminClient()
{
AdminClient adminc = null;
// Définition d'un objet Properties pour les attributs du connecteur JMX
Properties connectProps = new Properties();
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_TYPE, connector);
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_HOST, host);
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_PORT, port);
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.CACHE_DISABLED, "false");
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.CONNECTOR_SECURITY_ENABLED, security);
if (security.equalsIgnoreCase("true")){
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.USERNAME, user);
connectProps.setProperty(AdminClient.PASSWORD, password);
connectProps.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", trust_path);
connectProps.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", trust_pwd);
}

// Extraction d'un client d'administration d'après les propriétés du connecteur
try
{
adminc = AdminClientFactory.createAdminClient(connectProps);

}
catch (ConnectorException e)
{
System.out.println("Exception creating admin client: " + e);
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
}

System.out.println("Connected to Server " + server);
return adminc;
}


For the execution you need to add WebSphere jar files on top of your CLASSPATH:


ws_runtime.jar

Please try this and let we know if it solve your problems.
