<p>As of ActiveMQ Classic 5.4.1 you can encrypt your passwords and safely store them in configuration files. To encrypt the password, you can use the newly added <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">encrypt</code> command like:</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ bin/activemq encrypt --password activemq --input mypassword
...
Encrypted text: eeWjNyX6FY8Fjp3E+F6qTytV11bZItDp
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>Where the password you want to encrypt is passed with the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">input</code> argument, while the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">password</code> argument is a secret used by the encryptor. In a similar fashion you can test-out your passwords like:</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ bin/activemq decrypt --password activemq --input eeWjNyX6FY8Fjp3E+F6qTytV11bZItDp
...
Decrypted text: mypassword
</code></pre></div></div>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> It is recommended that you use only alphanumeric characters for the password. Special characters, such as <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">$/^&amp;</code>, are not supported.</p>
<p>As of the 5.16.0 release, support has been added to specify an algorithm
parameter to the “encrypt” and “decrypt” commands. By default, the algorithm
that is used is “PBEWithMD5AndDES”. To use a more modern encryption algorithm
you can specify:</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ bin/activemq encrypt --password activemq --input mypassword --algorithm PBEWITHHMACSHA256ANDAES_256
...
Encrypted text: h/cWj/ZZelMt3Y7NSzUG2vHYSnfWK561qjNg9Ywyr9yT72ru7pR4IEUnHLIdLSOb
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>The next step is to add the password to the appropriate configuration file, <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">$ACTIVEMQ_HOME/conf/credentials-enc.properties</code> by default.</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>activemq.username=system
activemq.password=ENC(mYRkg+4Q4hua1kvpCCI2hg==)
guest.password=ENC(Cf3Jf3tM+UrSOoaKU50od5CuBa8rxjoL)
...
jdbc.password=ENC(eeWjNyX6FY8Fjp3E+F6qTytV11bZItDp)
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>Note that we used <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ENC()</code> to wrap our encrypted passwords. You can mix plain and encrypted passwords in your properties files, so encrypted ones must be wrapped this way.</p>
<p>Finally, you need to instruct your property loader to encrypt variables when it loads properties to the memory. Instead of standard property loader we’ll use the special one (see <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">\$ACTIVEMQ_HOME/conf/activemq-security.xml</code>) to achieve this.</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>&lt;bean id="environmentVariablesConfiguration" class="org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.config.EnvironmentStringPBEConfig"&gt;
&lt;property name="algorithm" value="PBEWithMD5AndDES" /&gt;
&lt;property name="passwordEnvName" value="ACTIVEMQ\_ENCRYPTION\_PASSWORD" /&gt;
&lt;/bean&gt;
&lt;bean id="configurationEncryptor" class="org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.StandardPBEStringEncryptor"&gt;
&lt;property name="config" ref="environmentVariablesConfiguration" /&gt;
&lt;/bean&gt;
&lt;bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.jasypt.spring31.properties.EncryptablePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"&gt;
&lt;constructor-arg ref="configurationEncryptor" /&gt;
&lt;property name="location" value="file:${activemq.base}/conf/credentials-enc.properties"/&gt;
&lt;/bean&gt;
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>With this configuration ActiveMQ Classic will try to load your encryptor password from the <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">ACTIVEMQ_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD</code> environment variable and then use it to decrypt passwords from <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">credential-enc.properties</code> file.</p>
<p>Alternative is to use a simple variant and store encryptor password in the xml file, like this</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>&lt;bean id="configurationEncryptor" class="org.jasypt.encryption.pbe.StandardPBEStringEncryptor"&gt;
&lt;property name="algorithm" value="PBEWithMD5AndDES"/&gt;
&lt;property name="password" value="activemq"/&gt;
&lt;/bean&gt;
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>but with that you’ll lose the secrecy of the encryptor’s secret. You may also consult <a href="http://www.jasypt.org/advancedCommunity/FAQ/configuration">http://www.jasypt.org/advancedCommunity/FAQ/configuration.md</a> for more ideas on how to configure Jasypt.</p>
<p>Finally, we can use properties like we’d normally do</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>&lt;simpleAuthenticationPlugin&gt;
&lt;users&gt;
&lt;authenticationUser username="system" password="${activemq.password}"
groups="users,admins"/&gt;
&lt;authenticationUser username="user" password="${guest.password}"
groups="users"/&gt;
&lt;authenticationUser username="guest" password="${guest.password}" groups="guests"/&gt;
&lt;/users&gt;
&lt;/simpleAuthenticationPlugin&gt;
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>or</p>
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>&lt;bean id="mysql-ds" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close"&gt;
&lt;property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/&gt;
&lt;property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/activemq?relaxAutoCommit=true"/&gt;
&lt;property name="username" value="activemq"/&gt;
&lt;property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}"/&gt;
&lt;property name="maxActive" value="200"/&gt;
&lt;property name="poolPreparedStatements" value="true"/&gt;
&lt;/bean&gt;
</code></pre></div></div>
<p>If you want to run the broker with this configuration, you need to do the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Set environment variable:
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ export ACTIVEMQ\_ENCRYPTION\_PASSWORD=activemq
</code></pre></div> </div>
</li>
<li>Start the broker:
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ bin/activemq start xbean:conf/activemq-security.xml
</code></pre></div> </div>
</li>
<li>Unset the environment variable:
<div class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code>$ unset ACTIVEMQ\_ENCRYPTION\_PASSWORD
</code></pre></div> </div>
</li>
</ul>
<p>In this way your encryptor secret is never saved on your system and your encrypted passwords are safely stored in the configuration files.</p>
