Starting with Geronimo 2.1.2, Geronimo has a secure JMX server. However, the JMX server is not started by default. To start the secure JMX server start the org.apache.geronimo.framework/jmx-security//car module using the Admin Console or the deployer tool. For example:
<geronimo_home>/bin/deploy -u system -p manager start jmx-security
The secure JMX server will be running on port 9998.
The deployer tool and the GShell deployer commands can be configured to use the secure JMX server. Please see Tools and commands for more information.
