C++ broker (M4 and up)

• You need to get a certificate signed by a CA, trusted by your client.

...

• Setting up the certificates for testing.
  • For testing purposes you could use the
  [
  • following guide
  |http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ref/ssl/gtstd.html}
  • to setup your certificates.
  • In summary you need to create a root CA and import it to the brokers certificate data base.
  • Create a certificate for the broker, sign it using the root CA and then import it into the brokers
  certificated
  • certificate data base.

• Load the acl module using --load-module or if loading more than one module, copy ssl.so to the location pointed by --module-dir

  Code Block
  Ex if running from source. ./qpidd --load-module /libs/ssl.so

• Specify the password file (a plain text file with the password), certificated certificate database and the server side database brokers certificate name using the following options

  Code Block
  Ex ./qpidd ... --ssl-cert-password-file ~/pfile --ssl-cert-db ~/server_db/ --ssl-cert-name localhost.localdomain

...

./qpidd ./qpidd --load-module /libs/ssl.so --ssl-cert-password-file ~/pfile --ssl-cert-db ~/server_db/ --ssl-cert-name localhost.localdomain --ssl-require-client-authentication

Java Client (M4 and up)

• This guide is for connecting with the Qpid c++ broker.

• Setting up the certificates for testing. In summary,
  • You need to import the trusted CA in your trust store and keystore
  • Generate keys for the certificate in your key store
  • Create a certificate request using the generated keys
  • Create a certficate using the request, signed by the trusted CA.
  • Import the signed certificate into your keystore.

• Pass the following JVM argumenet arguments to your client.

  Code Block
  -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=/home/bob/ssl_test/keystore.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=password -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/home/bob/ssl_test/certstore.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=password
