James Flemer commented on QPID-5922:
------------------------------------

Awww... this makes "demo mode" much more work.  As a note ... RabbitMQ only supports PLAIN and AMQPLAIN (https://www.rabbitmq.com/authentication.html).  This "fix" means that RabbitMQ and Qpid interoperability is broken except over SSL.

Maybe a user who knows what they really want should be able to set some property or config option to allow insecure authentication.

> PLAIN authentication sends passwords in the clear - in general this should not be used over communication channels which are not themselves encrypted.
> For any given authentication provider we should allow the user to set the subset of SASL mechanisms which should not be offered if the attempt to authenticate is not occurring on a secure channel.
