Hi,
I am using WS 6.0. I have enabled global security and under JMX connector fo
r SOAP and RMI I have set the custom properties "username", "password" and "
securityEnabled". But still I am able to connect and retrieve the MBeans.
How will is require the username and password while connecting via both SOAP

You can do a queryNames(), but you can't execute anything on the MBeans
returned.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I guess my question was not clear in the earlier em
ail.
I have enabled security. So any Java client trying to make a JMX connection 
needs to provide the correct username and password before getting all the MB
eans. But even though I have setup the security I am able to connect and ret
rieve all the MBeans in the
server. How can I test if my security setting are correct?

Satish,
Your question was worded just fine.

I opened a PMR with IBM because of the following failure:

1) enable security
2) try to connect to the JMX server without a password. Cannot get an
adminClient object.
3) try to connect to JMX with a bogus userid & password. Can get an
adminClient object, AND can get all the MBeans using queryNames().
4) Open PMR - which got rejected because this is "working as designed".
Fight with IBM for 3 months, give up.

Soo.....open a PMR if you want and be prepared to fight :-)
