As of ActiveMQ 5.4.1 you can encrypt your passwords and safely store them in configuration files. To encrypt the password, you can use the newly added $ bin/activemq encrypt --password activemq --input mypassword ... Encrypted text: eeWjNyX6FY8Fjp3E+F6qTytV11bZItDp Where the password you want to encrypt is passed with the $ bin/activemq decrypt --password activemq --input eeWjNyX6FY8Fjp3E+F6qTytV11bZItDp ... Decrypted text: mypassword Note: It is recommended that you use only alphanumeric characters for the password. Special characters, such as The next step is to add the password to the appropriate configuration file, activemq.username=system activemq.password=ENC(mYRkg+4Q4hua1kvpCCI2hg==) guest.password=ENC(Cf3Jf3tM+UrSOoaKU50od5CuBa8rxjoL) ... jdbc.password=ENC(eeWjNyX6FY8Fjp3E+F6qTytV11bZItDp) Note that we used Finally, you need to instruct your property loader to encrypt variables when it loads properties to the memory. Instead of standard property loader we'll use the special one (see <bean id="environmentVariablesConfiguration" class="org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.config.EnvironmentStringPBEConfig">
<property name="algorithm" value="PBEWithMD5AndDES" />
<property name="passwordEnvName" value="ACTIVEMQ_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD" />
</bean>
<bean id="configurationEncryptor" class="org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.StandardPBEStringEncryptor">
<property name="config" ref="environmentVariablesConfiguration" />
</bean>
<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.jasypt.spring31.properties.EncryptablePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<constructor-arg ref="configurationEncryptor" />
<property name="location" value="file:${activemq.base}/conf/credentials-enc.properties"/>
</bean>
With this configuration ActiveMQ will try to load your encryptor password from the Alternative is to use a simple variant and store encryptor password in the xml file, like this <bean id="configurationEncryptor" class="org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.StandardPBEStringEncryptor"> <property name="algorithm" value="PBEWithMD5AndDES"/> <property name="password" value="activemq"/> </bean> but with that you'll lose the secrecy of the encryptor's secret. You may also consult http://www.jasypt.org/advancedconfiguration.html for more ideas on how to configure Jasypt. Finally, we can use properties like we'd normally do <simpleAuthenticationPlugin>
<users>
<authenticationUser username="system" password="${activemq.password}"
groups="users,admins"/>
<authenticationUser username="user" password="${guest.password}"
groups="users"/>
<authenticationUser username="guest" password="${guest.password}" groups="guests"/>
</users>
</simpleAuthenticationPlugin>
or <bean id="mysql-ds" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/activemq?relaxAutoCommit=true"/>
<property name="username" value="activemq"/>
<property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}"/>
<property name="maxActive" value="200"/>
<property name="poolPreparedStatements" value="true"/>
</bean>
If you want to run the broker with this configuration, you need to do the following:
In this way your encryptor secret is never saved on your system and your encrypted passwords are safely stored in the configuration files. |
