Arthur Naseef commented on AMQ-3154:
------------------------------------

I'm looking for some quick feedback on the fit of this solution; we would like to make use of this update, but prefer to have reason to believe it is a good fit first.  If not, I will gladly implement an alternate approach.

> Ran into the following issues preventing a custom Broker-To-Broker authentication implementation:
>   - BrokerFilter's addBroker() can not be used to secure a connection:
>       - for duplex connections, it is never called on the initial conneciton
>       - even if addBroker() throws an exception, it does not deny access (it does not close the connection nor prevent other functioning)
>       - addBroker() does not have direct access to the ConnectionContext, nor any other means for the BrokerFilter to access SSL certificates on the SSL transport
>   - BrokerFilter's addConnection() can not be used to secure a connection:
>        - there is no way to distinguish broker connections from clients
> Other approaches were considered, but lead to dead-ends.
> It seems the optimal solution would use the existing addBroker() method.
> A patch will be provided that adds a new method specifically for securing Broker-To-Broker connections.
