Unable to access JMX Console on ActiveMQ 5.12.0 VM

Question

I am attempting to get JMX Console working on a Vagrant VM box with ActiveMQ 5.12.0 manually installed. I've followed the guide on

http://activemq.apache.org/jmx.html

and numerous Stackoverflow troubleshooting questions:

but I am still not able to access the console from the host machine.

I've done the following steps:

added useJmx="true" onto the <broker> tag in the activemq.xml file

set the following management context in the activemq.xml file:

<managementContext createConnector="true" rmiServerPort="1098" connectorPort="1099"/>

set ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START environment variable to

"\
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false\
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.password.file=/usr/share/activemq/conf/jmx.password\
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.access.file=/usr/share/activemq/conf/jmx.access\
"

attempting to connect on

service:jmx:rmi://192.168.150.117:1098/jndi/rmi://192.168.150.117:1099/jmxrmi

using admin:activemq as username:password (specified in jmx.access and jmx.password)

This is the activemq.log file:

When I try to connect it just says "Secure Connection Failed. Retry insecurely?". It then tries and fails again with "Connection Failed: Retry?"

I set the following options on the ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START environment variable:

export ACTIVEMQ_SUNJMX_START="\
 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote\
 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false\
 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false\
 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false\
"

And it now works.
