Hi rob, Last we talked about this subject you said that for GA you would make it easy for users to setup custom AS servers with respect to how the disabled jmx authentication requirement is causing problems. You said somethng about falling back to pinging a url I recall in case jmx failed or something. Did that make it into the GA ? If it did - I have a hard time finding it. Could you let me know ? Got a few users on irc and forums having these exact same issues hence I really hope we had this fixed for GA. /max
