Hi Pico,

There is a feature where ActiveMQ can set the JMSXUserId header to the
userid of the sender of the message. You can use that on the server side to
determine what client is requesting it. The only issue with this is that the
server has to trust the broker. Does that work for what you need?
Documentation is here: http://activemq.org/site/jmsxuserid.html

There's also now the option to authenticate and secure a connection using
client SSL certificates in the 4.1 codebase. I'm working on some changes in
my spare time to allow increased flexibility of this so you can do things
like have the JMS client check the broker's certificate as well to ensure it
is as expected.

Hi!
    I have a P2P architecture where many clients send messages to  JMS
server installed on a web server (Resin). The messages that the  client send
to be persisted in DB installed on on the server side.  Before that
operation the client should be authenticated against this  database
installed on the server side. The client should send its  credentials in
order to be authorized.
    Now the problem:
     I have seen that in the JMS API exists a method:
  ConnectionFactory.createConnection(String userName, String password)
  but I think that these credentials are for the service installed on
the  server in order to be connected to it, but I am afraid I cannot use
the  client's credentials for the application.(E.g. user1/pw1 authorized
to  be connected to the JMS server and use the service,
user2/pw2  authorized to be connected to the JMS server and use the service,
etc).  These credentials are also on the DB server installed on the
server.  The question is: am I wrong with this opinion or not? If yes,
what  should I write in the server side in order to accept many clients to
be  connected?
      Another solution is to set up a object property in header  of the
message, where I put my credentials encrypted. But is that ok(is  this a
real solution)?
   Any ideas and suggestions are appreciated.
    Florin
