However, if you're reading this article, you're most likely looking for 
a solution that you can use from any location to monitor your servers, 
in which case you'll need to enable remote connections, 
and configure security to keep your network information private.  
To do so, use the following settings, substituting the appropriate port 
numbers and paths:

JAVA_OPTS="Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8008 \
-Dcom.sun.mangement.jmxremote.ssl=false \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=true \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=/path/to/pw/file
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.access.file=/path/to/access/file"

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=8008 \
-Dcom.sun.mangement.jmxremote.ssl=false \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=true \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=$CATALINA_HOME/conf/
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.access.file=$CATALINA_HOME/conf/"
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/

You can place the password and permissions files in any logical location, 
such as "$CATALINA_HOME/conf/".
Make sure to modify the permissions of these files so that 
they can only be viewed by users with appropriate access:

$ chmod 600 /path/to/pw/file
$ chmod 600 /path/to/access/file

Restart Tomcat and run a client program such as JConsole.  Enter your 
server information and attempt to connect.  If you are successful, 
JMX has been configured correctly, and you should be able to start 
exploring the kinds of data offered by JMX management.
