APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When collecting data from a Weblogic server with multiple
  machines to PerfServlet produces and error like:
  
  Could not enumerate Mbeans. Exception =
  java.lang.SecurityException: User <anonymous> does not have
  access to the administrator port.
  

Local fix

• NA
  

Problem summary

• When you have a Weblogic domain with multiple machines and the
  domain Administration port enabled it seems that communication
  between the machines is not authenticated when getting all the
  Mbeans.  this was causing a security exception to be raised and
  no data was shown in the SSM.
  

Problem conclusion

• Running the servlet as a user in the Administrators group allows
  us to resolve the issue. This involved changing the deployment
  descriptors and altering our setup scripts to create a user for
  the servlet to run as.
  
  The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance
