Managing access to MBeans

For MBeans accessed via the MBeans folder in the Web console, authorization is determined by default roles that are set when the servlet starts. Users who have one of the roles assigned to the servlet’s defaultReadRoleList property can view MBean details. Users who have one of the roles assigned to the defaultUpdateRoleList property can perform operations on MBeans, and update MBean attributes.

Assigning read and update permissions

1. Start EAServer and EAServer Manager, then from EAServer Manager, connect to EAServer.

2. In EAServer Manager, expand these successive folders: Servers | Jaguar | Installed Web Applications, and select SysMgmt.

3. In the right pane, highlight mgmt, and select File | Properties. The Web Component Properties dialog box displays.

4. On the Init-Params tab, select either defaultReadRoleList or defaultUpdateRoleList, and click Modify.

5. In the dialog box that displays, add roles to which you want to assign the Read or Update permission. Enter multiple roles as a comma-separated list; for example:

   Admin Role, Test Role
   

   Leading and trailing white space is removed around the role names; embedded white space is preserved.

6. Click OK to save your changes.
