Hi! I talked to Gary Tully on IRC (and mail) and we decided it was best that I mailed the mailinglist since he was pretty sure that someone here had solved this.
We are running 5.13.0 and are trying to get {user,group}s.properties to be reloaded automatically when they are changed. In the init.d-script we've added: ACTIVEMQ_OPTS+=" -Djava.security.auth.login.config=/local/activemq/conf/login.config " and login.config looks like this: activemq-domain { org.apache.activemq.jaas.PropertiesLoginModule required debug=true reload=true org.apache.activemq.jaas.properties.user="users.properties" org.apache.activemq.jaas.properties.group="../conf.d/approved/groups.properties" ; }; users.properties: system=manager nagios=nagios groups.properties: monitoring=system activemq.xml excerpt: […] <plugins> <!-- The configuration value matches the JAAS realm in login.config --> <jaasAuthenticationPlugin configuration="activemq-domain" /> <!-- Enable hot reloading of the The configuration value matches the JAAS realm in login.config --> <runtimeConfigurationPlugin checkPeriod="0" /> <authorizationPlugin> <map> <authorizationMap> <authorizationEntry queue="aliveness-test" read="monitoring" write="monitoring" admin="monitoring" /> </authorizationEntries> </authorizationMap> </map> </authorizationPlugin> […] With this configuration the user nagios should be able to access the queue aliveness-test. To reproduce, modify groups.properties so it looks like: monitoring=system,nagios Check your logs (you need to enable debug logging on org.apache.activemq.jaas.ReloadableProperties): {"thread":"ActiveMQ NIO Worker 622","level":"DEBUG","loggerName":"org.apache.activemq.jaas.ReloadableProperties","message":"Load of: PropsFile=/local/activemq/conf/../conf.d/approved/groups.properties"} so the reloading works, but nagios still can't consume from (or produce to) the queue: {"thread":"ActiveMQ NIO Worker 2","level":"WARN","loggerName":"org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection.Service","message":"Security Error occurred on connection to: tcp://0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1:45357, User nagios is not authorized to read from: queue://aliveness-test"} Note: If I restart ActiveMQ nagios can consume and produce from the queue. Is there any configuration that I've missed? Is this a bug?
