Hi Fabrice- The simple authentication plugin stores usernames and passwords in the conf/activemq.xml (it is generally used for embedded brokers or unit testing). If you use that, you won’t need the files below in the Messaging services section.
Most general setups using running stand alone brokers with the Apache ActiveMQ distribution: Messaging services (JMS, MQTT, STOMP, etc): conf/login.config <— defines what to use conf/groups.properties <— group-to-user mappings conf/users.properties <— user and passwords Management (JMX): bin/env conf/jmx.password conf/jmx.access Web Console: conf/jetty.xml ref: https://activemq.apache.org/security Hope this helps! -Matt Pavlovich > On Jun 18, 2021, at 1:46 PM, Fabrice Triboix <fabrice.trib...@armedia.com> > wrote: > > Hello, > > Could somebody please provide me with an answer to my question below? > > Thank you very much for any help, > > Fabrice > > ________________________________ > From: Fabrice Triboix <fabrice.trib...@armedia.com> > Sent: 12 June 2021 15:50 > To: users@activemq.apache.org <users@activemq.apache.org> > Subject: Re: Roundup of the configuration files > > CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.
