Configuring the JMX connection handler and alert handler

You can configure the Java Management Extensions (JMX) connection handler and the alert handler using the dsconfig tool.

To allow users to receive JMX notifications, enable the jmx-read and jmx-notify privileges. By default, these privileges aren’t granted to any users, including root users or global administrators.

For security reasons, you should create a separate user account that has only these privileges.

You can also configure the JMX connection handler and the alert handler using dsconfig in interactive command-line mode, which is visible in the Standard object menu.
