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. 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.
Note: The standard JConsole configuration will be unable to connect to a broker with this additional security enabled. For JConsole configuration see here.
