Client Usage of RMI

All,

Related to the conversation about certificate based authentication, how much of the client side would invoke any RMI requests? I am trying to gauge the impact of not having RMI as an option for client applications wishing to use certificate based authentication.

Pulse communicates to the locator over jmx/rmi as well.

The only use of RMI in Geode that I'm aware of is:

1) GFSH to Locator communication over jmx/rmi
2) Communication from the main JUnit JVM to DUnit JVM for dunit tests

In theory, a User could connect to the Locator over jmx/rmi from any JVM
using JDK JMX code. This could include deploying a Function (that uses JMX)
to a Server or executing JMX code directly within a Geode Java Client.
