We are trying to understand how cookies are used with Rabbit MQ, from my understanding; <br>1) Rabbit MQ servers (rabbitmq-server or rabbitmq-server.bat) can be started without the "setcookie" option, in this case they will use the cookie defined in the <span class="code ">.erlang.cookie file in the user home folder. If all </span>Rabbit MQ servers share the same cookie or <span class="code ">.erlang.cookie file, then they can communicate</span><br>
<span class="code "><br>2) R</span>abbit MQ servers (rabbitmq-server or rabbitmq-server.bat) can be started with the same "setcookie" option, for example, setcookie "FREDABC",<span class="code "> where "</span>FREDABC<span class="code ">" is the shared cookie used to communicate.<br>
<br>Q) What happens when servers use </span>setcookie cookie<span class="code ">, see <a href="http://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html#setup">http://www.rabbitmq.com/clustering.html#setup</a>, is cookie a variable in the script, or is this a misunderstanding ?<br>
