Adding domain connections

To use Streams Studio with IBM® InfoSphere® Streams, you must add at least one domain connection.

1. In the Streams Explorer view in Streams Studio, right-click Streams Domain Connections and select Add Connection. The Add Streams Domain Connection window opens.
2. Provide the domain ID and related JMX service URL information to add a domain connection. Use one of the following methods to locate the domain information:
   1. Use the Find Domain button to locate and select the domain that you are adding the connection for.
   2. Alternatively, run the streamtool getjmxconnect command from a shell window to identify the JMX service URL. Copy the information into the Domain ID field. For example:

      $ streamtool getjmxconnect
      service:jmx:jmxmp://host1.ibm.com:9975

   3. Click OK to add the connection.
3. Use the TLS Protocol list to select the cryptography protocol that matches the domain configuration. The protocol that you select must match the value on the jmx.sslProtocol domain property. To obtain that value, run the streamtool getdomainproperty jmx.sslOption command.
   Note: If you use the Find Domain button to locate and select the domain, the cryptography protocol for the selected domain is automatically selected.
4. Optional: Enable client certificate authentication.
   1. Select the Use client certificate for authentication option to indicate that a client certificate is used for authentication.
   2. On the Streams Explorer preference page, specify the path to the client certificate or a PKCS #12 file that contains the certificate.
