Where in the configuration do you enable/disable authentication for JMX in Artemis? In the artemis.profile file I have -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false on two instances of Artemis, one on a local VM and one on a remote VM. The local one doesn't require authentication (such as from JConsole) and will fail if I give is the user/password. The remote instance requires authentication, which accepts the user/password I created when setting up Artemis.
Is there another configuration I'm missing?
ActiveMQ Artemis guards JMX calls using role based authentication that leverages Artemis's JAAS plugin support with the login.config file. This is configured via the authorisation element in the management.xml configuration file and can be used to restrict access to attributes and methods on mbeans.
