JMX with Kerberos

The out-of-the-box management agent has been designed to implement authentication based on JAAS Login Modules.

Have a look at the com.sun.management.jmxremote.login.config property in the <jre-home>/lib/management/management.properties file for more detailed info.

You should be able to plug the Kerberos JAAS Login Module:

Regarding encryption, JSSE also allows you to supply Kerberos cipher suites:
