[jira] [Comment Edited] (QPID-5922) [Java Broker] By default
restrict the use of PLAIN authentication to secure channels
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-5922?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14347696#comment-14347696 ]

And they can :-)
If you edit the config json file you'll see a section on the authentication providers, something like this:
{code}
"authenticationproviders" : [ {
"id" : "e5d6f234-d212-4fc9-9728-815a547eee86",
"name" : "passwordFile",
"type" : "PlainPasswordFile",
"path" : "${qpid.home_dir}${file.separator}etc${file.separator}passwd",
{code}
you can add an entry in there to allow any authentication mechanism by setting the "secureOnlyMechanisms" to the empty list (by default any mechanism which would reveal potentially confidential information such as PLAIN and AMQPLAIN is in the list).... so
{code}
"authenticationproviders" : [ {
"id" : "e5d6f234-d212-4fc9-9728-815a547eee86",
"name" : "passwordFile",
"type" : "PlainPasswordFile",
"secureOnlyMechanisms" : [ ],
"path" : "${qpid.home_dir}${file.separator}etc${file.separator}passwd",
{code}
should work

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Java Broker
> Reporter: Rob Godfrey
> Assignee: Rob Godfrey
> Fix For: 0.29
>
>
> 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.
