The Qpid broker can make use of the Sun Java Management Extensions to provide encryption of the JMX connection.

Download and Install

This is possible by adding the jmxremote_optional.jar as provided by Sun. This jar is covered by the Sun Binary Code License and is not compatible with the Apache License which is why this component is not bundled with Qpid.

Download

Once this jar has been added to the broker classpath then the configuration option can be enabled.

Configuring

To enabled this security option change the security-enabled value in your broker configuration file. 

    <management>
        <security-enabled>true</security-enabled>
    </management>

Qpid Management console.

To utilise the new secure connection with the Qpid Management console there are two steps:

  1. Add jmxremote_optional.jar the classpath
  2. Add -Dsecurity=CRAM-MD5 to the start command in the relevant qpidmc script.

JConsole

NOTE: This has not be validated but technically should work fine.
JConsole can also be configured to talk to the broker. Again by adding the jmxremote_optional jar to the classpath.

jconsole -J-Djava.class.path=JAVA_HOME/lib/jconsole.jar:JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar:jmxremote_optional.jar

For further details see Sun's JConsole guide

Then specify your server url address in the jconsole connecting window to use jmxmp:

service:jmx:jmxmp://<server>:<managment port>
