/tc:tc-config/servers/server/authentication
Turn on JMX authentication for the Terracotta server. An empty tag (<authentication />) defaults to the standard Java JMX authentication mechanism referring to password and access files in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/management:
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/management/jmxremote.password
$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/management/jmxremote.access
You must modify these files as follows (or, if none exist create them).
jmxremote.password: Add a line to the end of the file declaring a username and password followed by a carriage return:
secretusername secretpassword
jmxremote.access: Add the following line (with a carriage return) to the end of your file:
secretusername readwrite
Be sure to assign the appropriate permissions to the file. For example, in *NIX:
$ chmod 500 jmxremote.password
$ chown <user who will run the server> jmxremote.password
For information on alternatives to JMX authentication, see the BigMemory Max Security Guide.
Note that version 4.x does not support HTTP authentication.
