Before enabling the authentication, first you need to create a password file. The file name isn't important. Use the following example for guidance.

1. Create the file jmx.password.

   jmx.password is the password file which defines the roles and their passwords.

   To be functional, a role must have an entry in the password file.

2. In the jmx.password file, add the role and the desired password.

   For example:

   alfrescoSync password
   

3. Change the jmx.password permission to read-only for the owner:

   For example:

   sudo chown dsync: jmx.password && sudo chmod 600 jmx.password
   

4. Start the Sync Service by enabling authentication, and pass on the path to the created file:

   -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=true
   -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=/path/to/jmx.password
   

   For example:

   cd <installLocation>/service-sync
   

   java -Xmx2G -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote=true -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=34.253.209.238
   -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=50800 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.rmi.port=50801
   -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=true
   -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=/path/to/jmx.password
   -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/tmp/dsync
   -cp postgresql.jar:service-sync-3.0.x.jar org.alfresco.service.sync.dropwizard.SyncService
   server config.yml
   

   Note

   Replace service-sync-3.0.x.jar with your exact version.

5. Start JConsole and select Remote Process.

6. Enter the Sync Service IP, com.sun.management.jmxremote.port value, user name, and password, as shown in the example below.

7. Click Connect.
