Port: Enter the port number of the WebLogic application server. (7001 by default)

JNDI: Default: weblogic.management.mbeanservers.domainruntime

Initial Context Factory: Default: weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory

Warning For WebLogic 8.x: Monitoring Studio Express requires JVM 1.4_2 to be installed on the same server as the RSM in order to connect to WebLogic 8.x.

IBM WebSphere

Principle: Login used to connect to the application server

Credentials: Password

Credentials: Shared Credentials used for authentication

Connection Information 5.x:

Hostname: The hostname or IP address of the server on which the WebSphere 5.x application server is running

WebSphere Environment: Select the version of the WebSphere application server.

SOAP Port: Enter the port number. (8880 by default)

TrustStoreFile Path: Enter the complete path to the file DummyClientTrustFile.jks which is on the RSM server. This file is to be copied from %IBM_HOME%\AppServer\etc and stored on the RSM server in order to connect to the WebSphere application server.

TrustStore Password: Enter the SSL Trust password. Default: WebAS (case-sensitive).

KeyStoreFile Path: Enter the complete path to the file DummyClientKeyFile.jks which is on the RSM server. This file is to be copied from %IBM_HOME%\AppServer\etc and stored on the RSM server in order to connect to the WebSphere application server.

KeyStore Password: Enter the SSL Key password. Default: WebAS (case-sensitive).

Warning For connection to WebSphere 5.x, Monitoring Studio Express requires IBM 32-bit SDK v5.0 to be installed on the same server as the RSM.

Note Connection to the WebSphere AS requires the presence of certain credential files: DummyClientKeyFile.jks and DummyClientTrustFile.jks on the RSM. These files are created and stored by WebSphere under %IBM_HOME%\AppServer\etc. It is essential to copy both files to the local file-system of the server where the RSM is running.

Connection Information 6.x:

Host: The hostname or IP address of the server on which the WebSphere 6.x application server is running

SOAP Port: Enter the port number. The first profile created on WebSphere is by default 8880 and every profile created on WebSphere is allotted a new SOAP port number by increasing the count from 8880. This can be modified.

TrustStoreFile path: Enter the complete path to the file DummyClientTrustFile.jks which is on the RSM server. This file is to be copied from %IBM_HOME%\profile\profilename\etc and stored on the RSM server in order to connect to the WebSphere application server.

TrustStore password: Enter the SSL Trust password created on WebSphere for your profile. By default: WebAS (case-sensitive)

KeyStoreFile path: Enter the complete path to the file DummyClientKeyFile.jks which is on the RSM server. This file is to be copied from %IBM_HOME%\profile\profilename\etc and stored on the RSM server in order to connect to the WebSphere application server.

KeyStore password: Enter the SSL Key password created on WebSphere for your profile. By default: WebAS (case-sensitive)

Note Connection to the WebSphere AS requires the presence of certain credential files: DummyClientKeyFile.jks and DummyClientTrustFile.jks on the RSM. These files are profile-specific and are created and stored by WebSphere under %IBM_HOME%\profile\profilename\etc. It is essential to copy both files to the local file-system of the server where the RSM is running.

Standard or Standalone JMX Application

Principle: Login used to connect to the application server.

Credentials: Password

Credentials: Shared Credentials used for authentication.

Hostname: The hostname or IP address of the server on which the generic JMX application server is running

Port: Enter the port number. (Not required if JMX URL is provided)

Server Name: Enter the server name. (Not required if JMX URL is provided)

JMX URL: Enter the complete URL only if the port number and server name are not provided.

Example: service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://[hostname]:[port]/[servername].
