JMX and SSL

Eamonn,

This is with regard to RMI transport, specifically RMI JNDI.

When a JMX client connects to JMX server (in above scenario), there are
actually 2 connections made, 1 to the RMI naming service and the other
to the exported RMI object.
While there is a way to provide socket factories for RMI transport for
the exported RMI object, I am not aware of a way to specify socket
factories for the JNDI lookup.

If I am not mistaken, you need to specify socket factory on the client
before you do the lookup since it's a boot-strap issue.

If SSL is required for both the JNDI lookup and for the RMI invocation
(and not only for the latter connection), how can this be done?

Regards,
Ron.
