7.6. Setting Security Context for the Openwire/SSL Protocol
Overview
Apart from configuration using JSSE system properties, the Openwire/SSL protocol (with schema,
ssl:) also supports an option to set its SSL security context using the broker configuration file.
Note
The methods for setting the security context described in this section are available exclusively for the Openwire/SSL protocol. These features are not supported by the HTTPS protocol.
Setting security context in the broker configuration file
To configure the Openwire/SSL security context in the broker configuration file, edit the attributes in the
sslContext element. For example, the default broker configuration file, etc/activemq.xml, includes the following entry:
<beans ...>
...
<broker ...>
<sslContext>
<sslContext keyStore="file:${activemq.base}/conf/broker.ks"
keyStorePassword="password"
trustStore="file:${activemq.base}/conf/broker.ts"
trustStorePassword="password"/>
</sslContext>
...
</broker>
...
</beans>
Where the
activemq.base property is defined in the activemq[.bat|.sh] script. You can specify any of the following sslContext attributes:
keyStore—equivalent to settingjavax.net.ssl.keyStore.keyStorePassword—equivalent to settingjavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword.keyStoreType—equivalent to settingjavax.net.ssl.keyStoreType.keyStoreAlgorithm—defaults to JKS.trustStore—equivalent to settingjavax.net.ssl.trustStore.trustStorePassword—equivalent to settingjavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword.trustStoreType—equivalent to settingjavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType.
