Hello Francesco, I was struggling with this issue as well on my side it was due to using custom startup script which sets custom ACTIVEMQ_OPTS.
in apache-activemq-5.9.0/bin/activemq some variables are setup which are needed for hawkio to authenticate and those are only loaded if ACTIVEMQ_OPTS variable is not previously declared. When you run activemq use ps ax and check that JVM used for activemq is not missing following parameters from apache-activemq-5.9.0/bin/activemq file: ACTIVEMQ_OPTS="$ACTIVEMQ_OPTS $ACTIVEMQ_OPTS_MEMORY -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -Dhawtio.realm=activemq -Dhawtio.role=admins -Dhawtio.rolePrincipalClasses=org.apache.activemq.jaas.GroupPrincipal -Djava.security.auth.login.config=$ACTIVEMQ_CONF/login.config" Without those authentication for hawio console will not work. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Endless-Failed-to-log-in-Forbidden-with-hawt-io-tp4673183p4673838.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
