------------------------------------
> Misleading documentation for "Logging the clients remote address"
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ARTEMIS-4177
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-4177
> Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Configuration, JAAS
> Affects Versions: 2.27.1, 2.28.0
> Reporter: Dries Harnie
> Assignee: Justin Bertram
> Priority: Trivial
> Fix For: 2.28.0, 2.29.0
>
>
> In the [Logging chapter of the
> documentation|https://activemq.apache.org/components/artemis/documentation/latest/logging.html],
> there is the following section:
> {quote}
> h3. Logging the clients remote address
> It is possible to configure the audit loggers to log the remote address of
> any calling clients either through normal clients or through the console and
> JMX. This is configured by enabling a specific login module in the login
> config file.
> {{org.apache.activemq.artemis.spi.core.security.jaas.AuditLoginModule optional
> debug=false;}}
> {quote}
> This actually accomplishes nothing, for the following reason:
> If you add this line to a block in login.conf and try to login to the broker,
> the Java {{LoginContext}} class will try to instantiate the class mentioned
> above using {{{}Class#newInstance{}}}. However, it is an interface (and has
> been for the past four years). It will thus throw an
> {{InstantiationException}} which is ignored because it is marked as an
> optional module.
> I assume this is a leftover from earlier development, because several other
> login modules _do_ implement the AuditLoginModule interface.
> Suggested fix is to remove this section entirely.
