Possible cause(s):

• Root Cause 1: The login credentials you entered (username or password) are incorrect.
• Root Cause 2: The specified password type is incorrect.
• Root Cause 3: The username and password are not configured in the JMX remote access and password files.

Possible solution(s):

• Solution Root Cause 1: Ensure that the login details are correct. If you're unsure, verify with the user or team handling the JMX-enabled application.
• Solution Root Cause 2: Ensure that you have selected the correct password format. You can check this for more info: https://docs.itrsgroup.com/docs/geneos/current/security/access-controls/gateway_secure_passwords/index.html
• Solution Root Cause 3: If your JMX-enabled application requires password files and access files to, you must configure these credentials in the jmxremote.access and jmxremote.password files. For more info: https://docs.itrsgroup.com/docs/geneos/current/collection/jmx-server/index.html
  • Validating with correct username and password: Mbeans are displayed
