Registering an ACL for a remote component with an app. server

[Nick Faiz]

Hi,
I'm asking this problem in relation to using JMX remotely to check on the condition of a RuntimeMBean? Is there a way in which I can avoid having to supply a username and password combination during the communication. I appreciate that the piece of code must be authorised to use the JMX service, can this be achieved another way other than including an encoded or encrypted username and password in a properties file?
MBeanHome localHome = (MBeanHome) Helper.getMBeanHome("username", "password", "t3://someappserver:7001", "someserverorother");
This question can also be extended to storing usernames and password for authentication via JNDI.
Thanks,
Nick Faiz
