As Matthias pointed out earlier, you can use the rabbitmqctl script  
which invokes the API defined in the rabbit_access_control module.

Currently I'm working on exposing this via by RPC over AMQP. I have  
defined a Java interface that is proxied by the RpcClient in the  
Rabbit Java library. The data binding is achieved by using Hessian 2.0.

This is essentially a poor man's version of SCA - using AMQP and  
Hessian as bindings to orchestrate a service contract.

The source code for the proxy and the tests are in the mtn repository  
for the rabbit erlang-client.

This is still work in progress, but the basic flows work.

HTH,

Ben
