      2 #     Default Access Control File for Remote JMX(TM) Monitoring
      3 ######################################################################

      5 # Access control file for Remote JMX API access to monitoring.
      6 # This file defines the allowed access for different roles.  The
      7 # password file (jmxremote.password by default) defines the roles and their
      8 # passwords.  To be functional, a role must have an entry in
      9 # both the password and the access files.
     10 #
     11 # The default location of this file is $JRE/lib/management/jmxremote.access
     12 # You can specify an alternate location by specifying a property in 
     13 # the management config file $JRE/lib/management/management.properties
     14 # (See that file for details)
     15 #
     16 # The file format for password and access files is syntactically the same
     17 # as the Properties file format.  The syntax is described in the Javadoc
     18 # for java.util.Properties.load.
     19 # A typical access file has multiple lines, where each line is blank,
     20 # a comment (like this one), or an access control entry.
     21 #
     22 # An access control entry consists of a role name, and an
     23 # associated access level.  The role name is any string that does not
     24 # itself contain spaces or tabs.  It corresponds to an entry in the
     25 # password file (jmxremote.password).  The access level is one of the
     26 # following:
     27 #       "readonly" grants access to read attributes of MBeans.
     28 #                   For monitoring, this means that a remote client in this
     29 #                   role can read measurements but cannot perform any action
     30 #                   that changes the environment of the running program.
     31 #       "readwrite" grants access to read and write attributes of MBeans,
     32 #                   to invoke operations on them, and optionally
     33 #                   to create or remove them. This access should be granted
     34 #                   only to trusted clients, since they can potentially
     35 #                   interfere with the smooth operation of a running program.
     36 #
     37 # The "readwrite" access level can optionally be followed by the "create" and/or
     38 # "unregister" keywords.  The "unregister" keyword grants access to unregister
     39 # (delete) MBeans.  The "create" keyword grants access to create MBeans of a
     40 # particular class or of any class matching a particular pattern.  Access
     41 # should only be granted to create MBeans of known and trusted classes.
     42 #
     43 # For example, the following entry would grant readwrite access
     44 # to "controlRole", as well as access to create MBeans of the class
     45 # javax.management.monitor.CounterMonitor and to unregister any MBean:
     46 #  controlRole readwrite \
     47 #              create javax.management.monitor.CounterMonitorMBean \
     48 #              unregister
     49 # or equivalently:
     50 #  controlRole readwrite unregister create javax.management.monitor.CounterMBean
     51 #
     52 # The following entry would grant readwrite access as well as access to create
     53 # MBeans of any class in the packages javax.management.monitor and
     54 # javax.management.timer:
     55 #  controlRole readwrite \
     56 #              create javax.management.monitor.*,javax.management.timer.* \
     57 #              unregister
     58 #
     59 # The \ character is defined in the Properties file syntax to allow continuation
     60 # lines as shown here.  A * in a class pattern matches a sequence of characters
     61 # other than dot (.), so javax.management.monitor.* matches
     62 # javax.management.monitor.CounterMonitor but not
     63 # javax.management.monitor.foo.Bar.
     64 #
     65 # A given role should have at most one entry in this file.  If a role
     66 # has no entry, it has no access.
     67 # If multiple entries are found for the same role name, then the last
     68 # access entry is used.
     69 #
     70 #
     71 # Default access control entries:
     72 # o The "monitorRole" role has readonly access.  
     73 # o The "controlRole" role has readwrite access and can create the standard
     74 #   Timer and Monitor MBeans defined by the JMX API.
