thanks for explaining this all to me. i could swear that SCRAM-SHA-256 was
giving me the error, but like you i tried to reproduce it again and could
not. i must have tested poorly, not waited for some settings to take effect
or was looking at prior results. sorry to take up your time. It does seem
to be working as i would expect it.

i did notice that many of the methods where deprecated which is why i was
leaning towards the SCRAM-SHA-256. which Auth Provider would you say is the
most secure and permits me to manage users and store passwords LOCALLY,
within qpid?

I also am seeing so many things that behave differently or just dont work
if there is not SSL involved. I think this is great. for local DEV and POC
work self signed certs can be annoying. So i dug around a little and
realized i can use a self signed cert that QPID made for me and just
include "transport.trustAll=true" in my connection string. this will give
me a little more confidence that i am working towards a desired set up full
of SSL even though im stuck using self-signed this early in our dev.

thanks
