title: "java.io.EOFException: SSL peer shut down incorrectly" thrown when not using SSL
body: <p>I am unable to connect VisualVM to a remote JVM.  I have started the remote JVM with the following parameters:</p>
  
  <pre><code> java -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.local.only=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9000 -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=[server ip] -Dlog4j.configurationFile=file:///home/ubuntu/servicesLog4j2.xml -jar /home/ubuntu/Program.jar &amp;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note the <em>-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false</em> </p>
  
  <p>I then start VisualVM and add a new JMX connection to the server.  I specifically check the option:</p>
  
  <p><em>Do not require SLL connection</em></p>
  
  <p>When the connection fails, I can see the following error in the VisualVM log.  I am unsure why SSL is involved if I have disabled SSL with a flag on the remote VM and specified not to require SSL in VisualVM.  But it would appear this error is preventing the connection.  What am I missing?</p>
