By default, you can reconfigure SkyVault by shutting down the server, editing the
relevant property in the configuration files, and then restarting the server.
If you have installed the Oracle Java SE Development Kit (JDK), and have enabled JMX in our configuration files, there are some support operations that can be performed on-demand at runtime without needing to restart the server.
The Java Management Extension (JMX) interface allows you to access SkyVault through a standard JMX console that supports JMX Remoting (JSR-160). This lets you:
- Manage SkyVault subsystems
- Change log levels
- Enable or disable file servers (FTP/CIFS/NFS)
- Set server read-only mode
- Set server single-user mode
- Set server maximum user limit, including ability to prevent further logins
- Count user sessions/tickets
- User session/ticket invalidation
CAUTION:
Restrict JMX RMI connections to an internal administration group, due to
security vulnerabilities. JMX/RMI deserializes data from a client before authentication, which
means that password protection does not provide adequate security.
Example consoles include:
- JConsole (supplied with Java SE 5.0 and higher)
- MC4J
- JManage
Some of these consoles also provide basic graphs and/or alerts for monitoring JMX-managed attributes.
