>                 Key: ARTEMIS-4177
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-4177
>             Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Configuration, JAAS
>    Affects Versions: 2.27.1, 2.28.0
>            Reporter: Dries Harnie
>            Assignee: Justin Bertram
>            Priority: Trivial
>
> In the [Logging chapter of the documentation|https://activemq.apache.org/components/artemis/documentation/latest/logging.html], there is the following section:
> {quote}
> h3. Logging the clients remote address
> It is possible to configure the audit loggers to log the remote address of any calling clients either through normal clients or through the console and JMX. This is configured by enabling a specific login module in the login config file.
> {{org.apache.activemq.artemis.spi.core.security.jaas.AuditLoginModule optional
>        debug=false;}}
> {quote}
> This actually accomplishes nothing, for the following reason:
> If you add this line to a block in login.conf and try to login to the broker, the Java {{LoginContext}} class will try to instantiate the class mentioned above using {{{}Class#newInstance{}}}. However, it is an interface (and has been for the past four years). It will thus throw an {{InstantiationException}} which is ignored because it is marked as an optional module.
> I assume this is a leftover from earlier development, because several other login modules _do_ implement the AuditLoginModule interface.
> Suggested fix is to remove this section entirely.
