The documentation for the plugin should probably change, as the line "set the value of the <code>auth_backends</code> configuration item
for the <code>rabbit</code> application" makes it sound like this is an item that be passed to the rabbit application in the ordinary OTP sense. Perhaps "set the value of the <code>auth_backends</code> configuration item
for the <code>rabbit</code> application as per the instructions in in <a href="http://www.rabbitmq.com/configure.html#configuration-file">http://www.rabbitmq.com/configure.html#configuration-file</a>" would be a good general pattern for plugin documentation to follow, just for those cases where users have jumped straight to trying to configure the plugin without reading all of the rabbit documentation?</div><br><div><div>On 3 Jul 2012, at 08:49, Matthias Radestock wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>On 03/07/12 08:19, Tim Watson wrote:<br><blockquote type="cite">No that doesn't look right to me.
