Run monitoring applications with security enabled

To run a Performance Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI) client application with security enabled, we must have CLIENTSOAP properties defined on the Java virtual machine command line for a SOAP connector, and CLIENTSAS properties defined for a RMI connector. The CLIENTSOAP and CLIENTSAS properties are defined in the setupCmdLine.bat or setupCmdline.sh files.

If we are configuring security for a SOAP connector, edit...

profile_root/properties/soap.client.props

...and set...

com.ibm.SOAP.securityEnabled=True
com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid=user_id
com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword password

If we are configuring security for a RMI connector, set the sas.client.props file or type the user ID and password in the window, if we do not put them in the property file for RMI connector. A common mistake is to leave extra spaces at the end of the lines in the property file. Do not leave extra spaces at the end of the lines, especially for the user ID and password lines.
