"activemq-admin browse" and authentication

[Joe Niski <jo...@nwea.org>]

in ActiveMQ 5.4.2 and 5.5, it seems that there's no way to pass 
credentials to the "browse" command - i get an "unrecognized option" 
error when i try to add "--user" and "--password". Our broker requires 
authentication, so an administrative script i'm trying to write needs to 
authenticate (so i can act on a queue based on message content).

Looking at the source for both versions, i see two classes in 
org.apache.activemq.console.command - AmqBrowseCommand and 
BrowseCommand. AmqBrowseCommand doesn't take user & password params, but 
BrowseCommand does. It seems that activemq-admin is invoking 
AmqBrowseCommand (and, on the source trunk, i see that options for 
username and password have been added).

Is there a way to invoke BrowseCommand from the operating system shell 
in AMQ 5.4.2 and 5.5?

You will have to backport this to 5.3.2 and 5.5. 

I had the same issue, and fixed it here:

AMQ-3411 | https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3411 | Admin commands which take --amqurl should accept --user and --pass option |
