Not sure why this has a dev ack as I have already removed it once.

I do not agree that there should be any attempt to automatically connect to the server if the user has chosen a local connection, the moment we move away from local authentication any attempts to automatically connect fail as there is no mechanism to obtain the users username and password.

Where jconsole is connected to the process locally I suggest two alternatives: -

 - Add the CLI tab but with a clear message stating why the CLI is not currently available, potentially add an 'Establish Connection' button to the tab with the capability to prompt for a username and password if required and make use of the discovered address.

 - Add an MBean that can handle management ops, the CLI integration can use that MBean regardless of the connection method and would not require the establishment of additional connections.

Due to the domain management implications there would be a few parties interested in this so I suggest we get a new discussion started on the dev list.

However as I have said elsehwere I think this is attempting to fix a 'feature' that should not exist in it's current form anyway and the current approach whilst it fixes the current problem leaves it open for the next issue to be raised against it once something like the authentication requirements are changed.  What we do need is the overall solution that works with the out of the box configuration but is flexible enough to cope with changes to this configuration.

> JConsolePlugin connecects to default port, despite chance to use proper info.
> Problem:
> Unless I miss somethingm JConsole has a bit tight isolation between components. There is no way for AS7 JConsolePlugin to access "connect dialog" info. Hence it has no idea what is the content of URL being passed as remote.
> AS7 JConsolePlugin checks if MBeanServerConnection is instance of RemotinConnection. If its not, it fallbacks to default: localhost:9990.
> However we can check for socket bindings and try to connect to proper socket.
