I modified our ActiveMQ configuration to use ActiveMQ Simple Authentication Plugin with a single user and password that has all rights to the broker
<plugins>
<simpleAuthenticationPlugin>
<users>
<authenticationUser
username="admin"
password="pass"
groups="admins,publishers,consumers" />
</users>
</simpleAuthenticationPlugin>
<authorizationPlugin>
<map>
<authorizationMap>
<authorizationEntries>
<authorizationEntry queue=">" write="producers" read="consumers" admin="admins" />
</authorizationEntries>
</authorizationMap>
</map>
</authorizationPlugin>
</plugins>
My java web app was previously creating an instance of ActiveMQConnectionFactory by calling createConnection() without any arguments.
connection = (ActiveMQConnection)connectionFactory.createConnection();
I modified my code to pass the username and password strings defined in my ActiveMQ Simple Authentication Plugin configuration to the overloaded version of the createConnection() method
String username = "admin";
String password = "pass";
connection = (ActiveMQConnection)connectionFactory.createConnection(username, password);
I’m able to compile my code cleanly, but receive ‘user is not able to create topic’ errors when deploying

This seemed straightforward. I wonder if there is something wrong with the way I set up the createConnection() call? Any advice appreciated.
Edit: I’ve tried adding authorizationPlugin to my config – it seems to produce the same types of errors
Your existing config only applies to queues. Try adding:
