I wish to set up a ActiveMQ instance (primarily as a STOMP server) which will service requests from two types of clients:

  1. authenticated users which can read and write to topics
  2. non-authenticated users which can only read from topics

I have been using the SimpleAuthenticationBroker so far and I cannot see anyway to configure the above situation, nor do I see any bit in the code which recognises a wildcard for a user to pass authentication.

If I configure the server to use the authentication broker, it will expect ALL connections to authenticate, which is what I don’t want.

The only solution I think I can see is to provide my own implementation to support the functionality I require, but I would love to find some way built into the server.

  1. This is not currently supported by ActiveMQ security implementation, but you can always define a user that can connect without a password with read-only privileges.

    You can raise Jira enhancement request (https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ) for this non-authenticated users feature and better yet provide a patch for current plugins.
