--start-management-agent option=value[:option=value:....]

Starts the default management agent with semi-colon seperated list of options. Multiple values for an option should be separated by comma. The options above can also be specified as

--start-management-agent=option=value[:option=value:....]

Providing options above for management agent is equivalent to setting management system property via -Dproperty=value. See <link to management guide> for a list of management options.

Below are the list of options for management agent and the equivalent -Dproperty=value flag

    --start-management-agent ssl=true:authenticate=false
or
    --start-management-agent=ssl=true:authenticate=false
