| <h1 id="masking-passwords">Masking Passwords</h1> |
| <p>By default all passwords in Apache ActiveMQ Artemis server's configuration |
| files are in plain text form. This usually poses no security issues as those |
| files should be well protected from unauthorized accessing. However, in some |
| circumstances a user doesn't want to expose its passwords to more eyes than |
| necessary.</p> |
| <p>Apache ActiveMQ Artemis can be configured to use 'masked' passwords in its |
| configuration files. A masked password is an obscure string representation of a |
| real password. To mask a password a user will use an 'codec'. The codec |
| takes in the real password and outputs the masked version. A user can then |
| replace the real password in the configuration files with the new masked |
| password. When Apache ActiveMQ Artemis loads a masked password it uses the |
| codec to decode it back into the real password.</p> |
| <p>Apache ActiveMQ Artemis provides a default codec. Optionally users can use |
| or implement their own codec for masking the passwords.</p> |
| <p>In general, a masked password can be identified using one of two ways. The |
| first one is the <code>ENC()</code> syntax, i.e. any string value wrapped in <code>ENC()</code> is to |
| be treated as a masked password. For example</p> |
| <p><code>ENC(xyz)</code></p> |
| <p>The above indicates that the password is masked and the masked value is <code>xyz</code>.</p> |
| <p>The <code>ENC()</code> syntax is the <strong>preferred way</strong> of masking a password and is |
| universally supported in every password configuration in Artemis.</p> |
| <p>The other, legacy way is to use a <code>mask-password</code> attribute to tell that a |
| password in a configuration file should be treated as 'masked'. For example:</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-xml"><span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">mask-password</span>></span>true<span class="hljs-tag"></<span class="hljs-name">mask-password</span>></span> |
| <span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">cluster-password</span>></span>xyz<span class="hljs-tag"></<span class="hljs-name">cluster-password</span>></span> |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>This method is now <strong>deprecated</strong> and exists only to maintain |
| backward-compatibility. Newer configurations may not support it.</p> |
| <h2 id="generating-a-masked-password">Generating a Masked Password</h2> |
| <p>To get a mask for a password using the broker's default codec run the |
| <code>mask</code> command from your Artemis <em>instance</em>. This command will not work |
| from the Artemis home:</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-sh">./artemis mask <plaintextPassword> |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>You'll get something like</p> |
| <pre><code>result: 32c6f67dae6cd61b0a7ad1702033aa81e6b2a760123f4360 |
| </code></pre><p>Just copy <code>32c6f67dae6cd61b0a7ad1702033aa81e6b2a760123f4360</code> and replace your |
| plaintext password with it using the <code>ENC()</code> syntax, e.g. |
| <code>ENC(32c6f67dae6cd61b0a7ad1702033aa81e6b2a760123f4360)</code>.</p> |
| <p>This process works for passwords in:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>broker.xml</code></li> |
| <li><code>login.config</code></li> |
| <li><code>bootstrap.xml</code></li> |
| <li><code>management.xml</code></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>This process does <strong>not</strong> work for passwords in:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>artemis-users.properties</code></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Maksed passwords for <code>artemis-users.properties</code> <em>can</em> be generated using the |
| <code>mask</code> command using the <code>--hash</code> command-line option. However, we recommend |
| using the set of tools provided by the <code>user</code> command described below.</p> |
| <h2 id="masking-configuration">Masking Configuration</h2> |
| <p>Besides supporting the <code>ENC()</code> syntax, the server configuration file (i.e. |
| broker.xml) has a property that defines the default masking behaviors over the |
| entire file scope.</p> |
| <p><code>mask-password</code>: this boolean type property indicates if a password should be |
| masked or not. Set it to "true" if you want your passwords masked. The default |
| value is "false". As noted above, this configuration parameter is deprecated.</p> |
| <p><code>password-codec</code>: this string type property identifies the name of the class |
| which will be used to decode the masked password within the broker. If not |
| specified then the default |
| <code>org.apache.activemq.artemis.utils.DefaultSensitiveStringCodec</code> will be used.</p> |
| <h3 id="artemis-usersproperties">artemis-users.properties</h3> |
| <p>Apache ActiveMQ Artemis's built-in security manager uses plain properties files |
| where the user passwords are specified in a hashed form by default. Note, the |
| passwords are technically <em>hashed</em> rather than masked in this context. The |
| default <code>PropertiesLoginModule</code> will not decode the passwords in |
| <code>artemis-users.properties</code> but will instead hash the input and compare the two |
| hashed values for password verification.</p> |
| <p>Use the following command from the CLI of the Aremtis <em>instance</em> you wish to |
| add the user/password to. This command will not work from the Artemis home |
| used to create the instance. For example:</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-sh">./artemis user add --user guest --password guest --role admin |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>This will use the default codec to perform a "one-way" hash of the password |
| and alter both the <code>artemis-users.properties</code> and <code>artemis-roles.properties</code> |
| files with the specified values.</p> |
| <p>Passwords in <code>artemis-users.properties</code> are automatically detected as hashed or |
| not by looking for the syntax <code>ENC(<hash>)</code>. The <code>mask-password</code> parameter does |
| not need to be <code>true</code> to use hashed passwords here.</p> |
| <h3 id="cluster-password">cluster-password</h3> |
| <p>If it is specified in <code>ENC()</code> syntax it will be treated as masked, or |
| if <code>mask-password</code> is <code>true</code> the <code>cluster-password</code> will be treated as masked.</p> |
| <h3 id="connectors--acceptors">Connectors & Acceptors</h3> |
| <p>In broker.xml <code>connector</code> and <code>acceptor</code> configurations sometimes needs to |
| specify passwords. For example, if a user wants to use an <code>acceptor</code> with |
| <code>sslEnabled=true</code> it can specify <code>keyStorePassword</code> and <code>trustStorePassword</code>. |
| Because Acceptors and Connectors are pluggable implementations, each transport |
| will have different password masking needs.</p> |
| <p>The preferred way is simply to use the <code>ENC()</code> syntax.</p> |
| <p>If using the legacy <code>mask-password</code> and <code>password-codec</code> values then when a |
| <code>connector</code> or <code>acceptor</code> is initialised, Apache ActiveMQ Artemis will add |
| these values to the parameters using the keys <code>activemq.usemaskedpassword</code> |
| and <code>activemq.passwordcodec</code> respectively. The Netty and InVM implementations |
| will use these as needed and any other implementations will have access to |
| these to use if they so wish.</p> |
| <h3 id="core-bridges">Core Bridges</h3> |
| <p>Core Bridges are configured in the server configuration file and so the masking |
| of its <code>password</code> properties follows the same rules as that of |
| <code>cluster-password</code>. It supports <code>ENC()</code> syntax.</p> |
| <p>For using <code>mask-password</code> property, the following table summarizes the |
| relations among the above-mentioned properties</p> |
| <table> |
| <thead> |
| <tr> |
| <th>mask-password</th> |
| <th>cluster-password</th> |
| <th>acceptor/connector passwords</th> |
| <th>bridge password</th> |
| </tr> |
| </thead> |
| <tbody> |
| <tr> |
| <td>absent</td> |
| <td>plain text</td> |
| <td>plain text</td> |
| <td>plain text</td> |

| <tr> |
| <td>true</td> |

| </tr> |
| </tbody> |
| </table> |
| <p>It is recommended that you use the <code>ENC()</code> syntax for new applications/deployments.</p> |
| <h4 id="examples">Examples</h4> |
| <p><strong>Note:</strong> In the following examples if related attributed or properties are |
| absent, it means they are not specified in the configure file.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><p>Unmasked</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-xml"><span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">cluster-password</span>></span>bbc<span class="hljs-tag"></<span class="hljs-name">cluster-password</span>></span> |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>This indicates the cluster password is a plain text value <code>bbc</code>.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p>Masked 1</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-xml"><span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">cluster-password</span>></span>ENC(80cf731af62c290)<span class="hljs-tag"></<span class="hljs-name">cluster-password</span>></span> |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>This indicates the cluster password is a masked value <code>80cf731af62c290</code>.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li><p>Masked 2</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-xml"><span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">mask-password</span>></span>true<span class="hljs-tag"></<span class="hljs-name">mask-password</span>></span> |
| <span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">cluster-password</span>></span>80cf731af62c290<span class="hljs-tag"></<span class="hljs-name">cluster-password</span>></span> |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>This indicates the cluster password is a masked value and Apache ActiveMQ |
| Artemis will use its built-in codec to decode it. All other passwords in the |
| configuration file, Connectors, Acceptors and Bridges, will also use masked |
| passwords.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h3 id="bootstrapxml">bootstrap.xml</h3> |
| <p>The broker embeds a web-server for hosting some web applications such as a |
| management console. It is configured in <code>bootstrap.xml</code> as a web component. The |
| web server can be secured using the <code>https</code> protocol, and it can be configured |
| with a keystore password and/or truststore password which by default are |
| specified in plain text forms.</p> |
| <p>To mask these passwords you need to use <code>ENC()</code> syntax. The <code>mask-password</code> |
| boolean is not supported here.</p> |
| <p>You can also set the <code>passwordCodec</code> attribute if you want to use a password |
| codec other than the default one. For example</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-xml"><span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">web</span> <span class="hljs-attr">bind</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"https://localhost:8443"</span> <span class="hljs-attr">path</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"web"</span> |
| <span class="hljs-attr">keyStorePassword</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"ENC(-5a2376c61c668aaf)"</span> |
| <span class="hljs-attr">trustStorePassword</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"ENC(3d617352d12839eb71208edf41d66b34)"</span>></span> |
| <span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">app</span> <span class="hljs-attr">url</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"activemq-branding"</span> <span class="hljs-attr">war</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"activemq-branding.war"</span>/></span> |
| <span class="hljs-tag"></<span class="hljs-name">web</span>></span> |
| </code></pre> |
| <h3 id="managementxml">management.xml</h3> |
| <p>The broker embeds a JMX connector which is used for management. The connector can |
| be secured using SSL and it can be configured with a keystore password and/or |
| truststore password which by default are specified in plain text forms.</p> |
| <p>To mask these passwords you need to use <code>ENC()</code> syntax. The <code>mask-password</code> |
| boolean is not supported here.</p> |
| <p>You can also set the <code>password-codec</code> attribute if you want to use a password |
| codec other than the default one. For example</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-xml"><span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">connector</span> |
| <span class="hljs-attr">connector-port</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"1099"</span> |
| <span class="hljs-attr">connector-host</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"localhost"</span> |
| <span class="hljs-attr">secured</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"true"</span> |
| <span class="hljs-attr">key-store-path</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"myKeystore.jks"</span> |
| <span class="hljs-attr">key-store-password</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"ENC(3a34fd21b82bf2a822fa49a8d8fa115d"</span> |
| <span class="hljs-attr">trust-store-path</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"myTruststore.jks"</span> |
| <span class="hljs-attr">trust-store-password</span>=<span class="hljs-string">"ENC(3a34fd21b82bf2a822fa49a8d8fa115d)"</span>/></span> |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>With this configuration, both passwords in ra.xml and all of its MDBs will have |
| to be in masked form.</p> |
| <h3 id="loginconfig">login.config</h3> |
| <p>Artemis supports LDAP login modules to be configured in JAAS configuration file |
| (default name is <code>login.config</code>). When connecting to a LDAP server usually you |
| need to supply a connection password in the config file. By default this |
| password is in plain text form.</p> |
| <p>To mask it you need to configure the passwords in your login module using |
| <code>ENC()</code> syntax. To specify a codec using the following property:</p> |
| <p><code>passwordCodec</code> - the password codec class name. (the default codec will be |
| used if it is absent)</p> |
| <p>For example:</p> |
| <pre><code>LDAPLoginExternalPasswordCodec { |
| org.apache.activemq.artemis.spi.core.security.jaas.LDAPLoginModule required |
| debug=true |
| initialContextFactory=com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory |
| connectionURL="ldap://localhost:1024" |
| connectionUsername="uid=admin,ou=system" |
| connectionPassword="ENC(-170b9ef34d79ed12)" |
| passwordCodec="org.apache.activemq.artemis.utils.DefaultSensitiveStringCodec;key=helloworld" |
| connectionProtocol=s |
| authentication=simple |
| userBase="ou=system" |
| userSearchMatching="(uid={0})" |
| userSearchSubtree=false |
| roleBase="ou=system" |
| roleName=dummyRoleName |
| roleSearchMatching="(uid={1})" |
| roleSearchSubtree=false |
| ; |
| }; |
| </code></pre><h3 id="jca-resource-adapter">JCA Resource Adapter</h3> |
| <p>Both ra.xml and MDB activation configuration have a <code>password</code> property that |
| can be masked preferably using <code>ENC()</code> syntax.</p> |
| <p>Alternatively it can use an optional attribute in ra.xml to indicate that a |
| password is masked:</p> |
| <p><code>UseMaskedPassword</code> -- If setting to "true" the passwords are masked. Default |
| is false.</p> |
| <p>There is another property in ra.xml that can specify a codec:</p> |
| <p><code>PasswordCodec</code> -- Class name and its parameters for the codec used to decode |
| the masked password. Ignored if UseMaskedPassword is false. The format of this |
| property is a full qualified class name optionally followed by key/value pairs. |
| It is the same format as that for JMS Bridges. Example:</p> |
| <p>Example 1 Using the <code>ENC()</code> syntax:</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-xml"><span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">config-property</span>></span> |

| <h2 id="choosing-a-codec-for-password-masking">Choosing a codec for password masking</h2> |
| <p>As described in the previous sections, all password masking requires a codec. |
| A codec uses an algorithm to convert a masked password into its original |
| clear text form in order to be used in various security operations. The |
| algorithm used for decoding must match that for encoding. Otherwise the |
| decoding may not be successful.</p> |
| <p>For user's convenience Apache ActiveMQ Artemis provides a default codec. |
| However a user can implement their own if they wish.</p> |
| <h3 id="the-default-codec">The Default Codec</h3> |
| <p>Whenever no codec is specified in the configuration, the default codec |
| is used. The class name for the default codec is |
| <code>org.apache.activemq.artemis.utils.DefaultSensitiveStringCodec</code>. It has |
| hashing, encoding, and decoding capabilities. It uses <code>java.crypto.Cipher</code> |
| utilities to hash or encode a plaintext password and also to decode a masked |
| string using the same algorithm and key.</p> |
| <h3 id="using-a-custom-codec">Using a custom codec</h3> |
| <p>It is possible to use a custom codec rather than the built-in one. Simply |
| make sure the codec is in Apache ActiveMQ Artemis's classpath. The custom |
| codec can also be service loaded rather than class loaded, if the codec's |
| service provider is installed in the classpath. Then configure the server to |
| use it as follows:</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-xml"><span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">password-codec</span>></span>com.foo.SomeCodec;key1=value1;key2=value2<span class="hljs-tag"></<span class="hljs-name">password-codec</span>></span> |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>If your codec needs params passed to it you can do this via key/value pairs |
| when configuring. For instance if your codec needs say a "key-location" |
| parameter, you can define like so:</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-xml"><span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">password-codec</span>></span>com.foo.NewCodec;key-location=/some/url/to/keyfile<span class="hljs-tag"></<span class="hljs-name">password-codec</span>></span> |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>Then configure your cluster-password like this:</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-xml"><span class="hljs-tag"><<span class="hljs-name">cluster-password</span>></span>ENC(masked_password)<span class="hljs-tag"></<span class="hljs-name">cluster-password</span>></span> |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>When Apache ActiveMQ Artemis reads the cluster-password it will initialize the |
| <code>NewCodec</code> and use it to decode "mask_password". It also process all passwords |
| using the new defined codec.</p> |
| <h4 id="implementing-custom-codecs">Implementing Custom Codecs</h4> |
| <p>To use a different codec than the built-in one, you either pick one from |
| existing libraries or you implement it yourself. All codecs must implement |
| the <code>org.apache.activemq.artemis.utils.SensitiveDataCodec<T></code> interface:</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-java"><span class="hljs-keyword">public</span> <span class="hljs-class"><span class="hljs-keyword">interface</span> <span class="hljs-title">SensitiveDataCodec</span><<span class="hljs-title">T</span>> </span>{ |
| |
| <span class="hljs-function">T <span class="hljs-title">decode</span><span class="hljs-params">(Object mask)</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">throws</span> Exception</span>; |
| |
| <span class="hljs-function">T <span class="hljs-title">encode</span><span class="hljs-params">(Object secret)</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">throws</span> Exception</span>; |
| |
| <span class="hljs-function"><span class="hljs-keyword">default</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">void</span> <span class="hljs-title">init</span><span class="hljs-params">(Map<String, String> params)</span> <span class="hljs-keyword">throws</span> Exception </span>{ |
| }; |
| } |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>This is a generic type interface but normally for a password you just need |
| String type. So a new codec would be defined like</p> |
| <pre><code class="lang-java">public class MyCodec implements SensitiveDataCodec<String> { |
| @Override |
| public String decode(Object mask) throws Exception { |
| // Decode the mask into clear text password. |
| return "the password"; |
| } |
| |
| @Override |
| public String encode(Object secret) throws Exception { |
| // Mask the clear text password. |
| return "the masked password""; |
| } |
| |
| @Override |
| public void init(Map<String, String> params) { |
| // Initialization done here. It is called right after the codec has been created. |
| } |
| } |
| </code></pre> |
| <p>Last but not least, once you get your own codec please <a href="using-server.html#adding-runtime-dependencies">add it to the |
| classpath</a> otherwise the broker |
| will fail to load it!</p> |
