13 # Password File for Remote JMX Monitoring
14 ##############################################################
16 # Password file for Remote JMX API access to monitoring. This
17 # file defines the different roles and their passwords. The access
18 # control file (jmxremote.access by default) defines the allowed
19 # access for each role. To be functional, a role must have an entry
20 # in both the password and the access files.
22 # Default location of this file is $JRE/lib/management/jmxremote.password
23 # You can specify an alternate location by specifying a property in
24 # the management config file $JRE/lib/management/management.properties
25 # or by specifying a system property (See that file for details).

30 ##############################################################
31 # Since there are cleartext passwords stored in this file,
32 # this file must be readable by ONLY the owner,
33 # otherwise the program will exit with an error.
35 # The file format for password and access files is syntactically the same
36 # as the Properties file format. The syntax is described in the Javadoc
37 # for java.util.Properties.load.
38 # Typical password file has multiple lines, where each line is blank,
39 # a comment (like this one), or a password entry.
42 # A password entry consists of a role name and an associated
43 # password. The role name is any string that does not itself contain
44 # spaces or tabs. The password is again any string that does not
45 # contain spaces or tabs. Note that passwords appear in the clear in
46 # this file, so it is a good idea not to use valuable passwords.
48 # A given role should have at most one entry in this file. If a role
49 # has no entry, it has no access.
50 # If multiple entries are found for the same role name, then the last one
53 # In a typical installation, this file can be read by anybody on the
54 # local machine, and possibly by people on other machines.
55 # For # security, you should either restrict the access to this file,
56 # or specify another, less accessible file in the management config file
59 # Following are two commented-out entries. The "measureRole" role has
60 # password "QED". The "controlRole" role has password "R&D".
