[ActiveMQ 5.3.1] How to develop an authentication system and export
it as a plugin?
Hi all,
I need to implement a special authentication plugin for ActiveMQ 5.3.1 and I
don't know exactly how to do it.
I have a little experience in Java/JEE but not with Maven. I managed to
import the 5.3.1 release in my Eclipse (Ganymede) and I can compile it
without any error, and also export it to recreate the install package from
the source. So far so good.
But how can I create a plugin to add my special authentication system? And
how can I change the authentication plugin used by an installed ActiveMQ
from the configuration?
I read a lot of the documentation but it seems some parts are "missing", or
I understand they are "useless" because "every developer knows that"... but
me.
Some help would be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Regards

Thanks again for your help. I think I see now what config files I have to
edit once my plugin will be compiled.
My problem is that I still can't manage to compile or package my new
classes.
I have imported the ~22 projects composing ActiveMQ (activemq-all,
activemq-core, ...) in my Eclipse, and I've created a new project that looks
like what I could find in the other ones (package structure, initial
pom.xml) holding my authentication and login classes.
As I'm implementing BrokerPlugin and LoginModule from activemq-core and
activemq-jaas, I tried to fill my pom.xml with those packages to be able to
compile them without error. But everytime I add those dependencies I see
more and more unresolved dependencies (javacc, commons-io, and 15+ more) in
the list.
The problem is that I have no experience with Maven or such a big project
like ActiveMQ so it's maybe a bit optimistic to think that I'll be able to
create my little JAR with 2 classes in 1 hour.

ah, so for login modules you configure via JAAS in the standard way. see:
http://activemq.apache.org/security.html
and access the credentials
via org.apache.activemq.security.JaasAuthenticationPlugin
For xml config, take note the xbean annotation on
the JaasAuthenticationPlugin or SimpleAuthenticationPlugin class, that makes
setting attributes via the xml config easy. You can see how they class
accessors map to attributes via examples on the security.html page.
Also note that both implements the plugin interface so that it can be
dropped into the plugins list of the broker xml config.
hope this helps

Hi Gary, thanks for your help but I already took a look at this class.
Actually I think I did not express correctly what I want. Correct me if I'm
wrong but the SimpleAuthenticationPlugin is good for me because I don't need
to change anything on this side (users and groups). What I need to change is
the login process, and so the LoginModule. I know the implementation I'll
have to write, this is not the problem.
My major problem is to understand how to build it and make it a package I
can just "paste" into an existing ActiveMQ installation.
Sorry if I'm not really clear.
Regards

start by reading and
understanding org.apache.activemq.security.SimpleAuthenticationPlugin
