Add more security to MXPR

[alexott]

it would be nice to add more security tomxpr, for example, ability to specify user name & password for remote connection.

It would be also useful to add SSL, but it could be too much work.

mxpr is reusing JMX dacility from JDK so add all the stuff vanila JMX have is not a big deal.

Though, my intent for mxpr was quick and dirty solution. If you want it right it would be probably better to setup JMX property on target JVM.

Am I missing some other useful cases for mxpr

[alexott]

I understand, I'm planning to use it as quick and dirty for solution when customer doesn't setup stuff in advance, and restarting/reconfiguring is not an option...

I'll look, if it's possible to do at all, and come with PR if I can :-)

Oh, one more think. You can do mxpr work with jcmd for JDK (no shady jars from internet required).
Here is my cheetsheet for JDK tools it has an example https://training.ragozin.info/collateral/JDK_tools_cheatsheet.pdf

jcmd have all security options available.

The only issue with jcmd - in some rare situations JVM RMI port on some their adapter making forwaring of JMX through SSH impossible. So I keep mxpr for such cases.

Thank you very much for cheatsheet!
