JMX connection via Nashorn javascript jjs

Question

I am writing a script in JavaScript engine that comes with JDK8. This script will use JMX to connect to a remote Java instance. I am using authentication, but no SSL. The JMX connection is working fine from any JMX client, the problem is in this script

The output of the script is:

[root@testvm ~]# /opt/scripts/jmx-test.jjs
{javax.management.remote.JMXConnector.CREDENTIALS=[Ljava.lang.String;@679b62af}
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.SecurityException: Authentication failed! Credentials required

Here is the script:

#! /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_25/bin/jjs
host="remotehost"
port=7091
serviceURL = "service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://" + host + ":" + port + "/jmxrmi"
url = new javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL(serviceURL);
stringArrayType = Java.type("java.lang.String[]")
credentials = new stringArrayType(2)
credentials[0]="user"
credentials[1]="password1"
HashMapType = Java.type("java.util.HashMap")
environment = new HashMapType()
environment.put("javax.management.remote.JMXConnector.CREDENTIALS",credentials)
print(environment)
connector = javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url,environment)

It seems that credentials become null . See: http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/root/jdk/openjdk/6-b14/com/sun/jmx/remote/security/JMXPluggableAuthenticator.java#162

The problem is that I do not know how to properly send the environment to the javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorFactory.connect()

Edit : With the answer of @Nicholas, the script now works. Here is the full example:

#! /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_25/bin/jjs
host="remotehost"
port=7091
serviceURL = "service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://" + host + ":" + port + "/jmxrmi"
url = new javax.management.remote.JMXServiceURL(serviceURL);
stringArrayType = Java.type("java.lang.String[]")
credentials = new stringArrayType(2)
credentials[0]="user"
credentials[1]="password1"
HashMapType = Java.type("java.util.HashMap")
environment = new HashMapType()
environment.put("jmx.remote.credentials",credentials)
connector = javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url,environment)
mbeanServerConnection=connector.getMBeanServerConnection()
ObjectNameType = Java.type("javax.management.ObjectName")

objectName = new ObjectNameType('Catalina:type=Connector,port=8009,address="tomcat.example.org"')
print(mbeanServerConnection.getAttribute(objectName, "proxyName"))

objectName = new ObjectNameType('java.lang:type=Memory')
#print(mbeanServerConnection.getAttribute(objectName, "HeapMemoryUsage"))
print('HeapMemoryUsage, used = ' + mbeanServerConnection.getAttribute(objectName, "HeapMemoryUsage").get('used'))

Answer 1

Take a look at this line of your script:

environment.put("javax.management.remote.JMXConnector.CREDENTIALS",credentials)

The API defines the key of the map entry as the constant javax.management.remote.JMXConnector.CREDENTIALS but the value of the constant is "jmx.remote.credentials" .

Therefore, try changing that line to:

environment.put("jmx.remote.credentials",credentials)
