<div class="wiki-content maincontent"><p>Starting with version 5.13.0, ActiveMQ supports wire format protocol detection. &#160; OpenWire, STOMP, AMQP, and MQTT can be automatically detected. &#160;This allows one transport to be shared for all 4 types of clients.</p><h3 id="AUTO-EnablingAUTOoverTCP">Enabling AUTO over TCP</h3><p>To configure ActiveMQ auto wire format detection over a TCP connection use the&#160;<code>auto</code>&#160;transport prefix. For example, add the following transport configuration in your XML file:</p><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">
<pre class="brush: java; gutter: false; theme: Default" style="font-size:12px;">     &lt;transportConnector name="auto" uri="auto://localhost:5671"/&gt;</pre>
</div></div><h3 id="AUTO-EnablingAUTOoverSSL">Enabling AUTO over SSL</h3><p>To configure ActiveMQ auto wire format detection over an SSL connection use the&#160;<code>auto+ssl</code>&#160;transport prefix. For example, add the following transport configuration in your XML file:</p><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">
