All,
I am running ActiveMQ integrated with Jboss 5.1.0. Access to ActiveMQ will be via username & encrypted password. As described in this link: http://activemq.apache.org/encrypted-passwords.html
There are MDB (message driven beans) in my Application deployed into JBoss. If I look more closely at the ra.xml (under \jboss-5.1.0.GA\server\default\deploy\activemq-ra.rar) - the following section handles the password credentials
<authentication-mechanism>
<authentication-mechanism-type>BasicPassword</authentication-mechanism-type>
<credential-interface>javax.resource.spi.security.PasswordCredential</credential-interface>
</authentication-mechanism>
As per the connection_1_6.xsd (used by ra.xml)
The credential-interfaceType specifies the interface that the resource adapter implementation supports for the representation of the credentials. This element(s) that use this type i.e. credential-interface, should be used by application server to find out the Credential interface it should use as part of the security contract.
The possible values are:
javax.resource.spi.security.PasswordCredential
org.ietf.jgss.GSSCredential
javax.resource.spi.security.GenericCredential
So I can use only the above 3 interfaces - and none of them actually takes in an encrypted password along with an algorithm - so that it can be decrypted.
Does this mean - since my MDB (message driven beans) use ra.xml to connect to the messageBroker - I have to write my own implementation to connect to JMS Broker (that takes in algorithm name and encrypted password?)
regards D
