Question

One of my projects requires authentication for using RabbitMQ. Only authenticated users can connect to the rabbitmq server and subscribe to queues etc. For example, when a user connects to the server for the first time and sends some auth data (like login, password) – server should check it and, if the user passed authentication, he will be able to subscribe to queues etc. Otherwise, the server would disconnect the user. Is there a solution for this?

Please don’t judge too harshly, I’m not really familiar with RabbitMQ and stuff like this.

This is very easy to find out yourself. A simple Google search for the terms, “RabbitMQ Authentication” returns this page as the first entry:

When an AMQP client establishes a connection to an AMQP server, it
specifies a virtual host within which it intends to operate. A first
level of access control is enforced at this point, with the server
checking whether the user has any permissions to access the virtual
hosts, and rejecting the connection attempt otherwise.
