Chapter 10. Security Configuration

Procedure 10.1. Setting suckerPassword for JBoss Messaging

1. Navigate to the <JBOSS_HOME>/server/<PROFILE>/deploy/messaging/ directory.
2. Open the messaging-jboss-beans.xml file in your preferred text editor.
3. Change the suckerPassword placeholder value from "CHANGE ME!!" to a plain text password:

   <property name="suckerPassword">CHANGE ME!!</property>
   

   Make note of the new password; it will be used in the next task.
4. Save the file.

1. In a terminal, change to <JBOSS_HOME>/server/<PROFILE>/deploy/messaging/.
2. Run the following command:

   /path/to/java/executable -cp JBOSS_HOME/client/jboss-messaging-client.jar org.jboss.messaging.util.SecurityUtil PLAIN_TEXT_PASSWORD

3. PLAIN_TEXT_PASSWORD is the password you set in messaging-jboss-beans.xml in the previous task.
   As an example:

   Example 10.1. Test Encrypted Password

   Running the following command (from the JBOSS_HOME/jboss-as/server/$PROFILE/deploy/messaging/ directory) ...

   /usr/bin/java -cp ../../../../client/jboss-messaging-client.jar org.jboss.messaging.util.SecurityUtil test

   ...produced the following encrypted password:

   key len: 14 length max: 2147483647
   Encoded password: 5e2c1ae5a618317
   

4. Make note of the encrypted password output; it will be used in the next task.

2. Paste the encrypted password from the previous procedure into the SuckerPassword attribute:

   <attribute name="SuckerPassword">ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD</attribute>
