[jira] [Commented] (AMQ-1985) ActiveMQ Security - grant privileges on ActiveMQ.Advisory.> by default

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-1985?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13221308#comment-13221308 ] 

Timothy Bish commented on AMQ-1985:
-----------------------------------

This is the intended behavior.  Leaving the advisory message destinations open by default would create a security hole open to dos exploit through resource usage.  Its important to understand the various options of the security scheme.  Some additional documentation was added on this recently.

> from http://activemq.apache.org/security.html - Note that full access rights should always be given to the ActiveMQ.Advisory destinations, else your client will receive an exception stating it does not have access rights to these series of destinations.
> <authorizationEntry topic="ActiveMQ.Advisory.>" read="guests,users" write="guests,users" admin="guests,users"/>
> Can this be assumed behind the scenes?  This was troubling as a new user adding security (especially before this was properly documented on Sept 15, 2008).
