For my use case I could do that, but RabbitMQ is already verifying<br>
client certificates. �RabbitMQ is already verifying client<br>
certificates. �See<br>
<br>
[<br>
�{rabbit, [<br>
� �{ssl_listeners, [{"0.0.0.0",5671}]},<br>
� �{ssl_options, [{cacertfile,"/opt/rabbitmq/keys/ca.crt"},<br>
� � � � � � � � � {certfile,"/opt/rabbitmq/keys/x.x.x.x.crt"},<br>
� � � � � � � � � {keyfile,"/opt/rabbitmq/keys/x.x.x.x.key"},<br>
� � � � � � � � � {verify,verify_peer},<br>
� � � � � � � � � {fail_if_no_peer_cert,true}]}<br>
�]}<br>
].<br>
<br>
We plan to have thousands of clients connecting to RabbitMQ each with<br>
a different certificate and the same username. �Someone on this list<br>
didn't recommend managing that many users.<br>
<br>
Ideally Rabbit would pass along CNAME from a producer and the consumer<br>
would verify CNAME is good.<br>
<br>
