[rabbitmq-discuss] SSL connection

Mon Aug 25 08:43:24 BST 2014

Hi Team ,

I have a question regarding SSL connection implementation in RabbitMQ , currently there are three important parameters a RabbitMQ broker needs to enabled SSL connection :

-          Root Certificate Chain

-          Server Certificate .

-          Server private Key .

{rabbit, [
        {tcp_listeners, [2000]},
        {loopback_users, []},
        {ssl_listeners, [2001]},
        {ssl_options, [{cacertfile, "/var/opt/rabbitmq-3.3.0/broker-1/CA.pem"},
                  {certfile, "/var/opt/rabbitmq-3.3.0/broker-1/cert.pem"},
                  {keyfile, "/var/opt/rabbitmq-3.3.0/broker-1/serverKey.pem"},
                  {verify, verify_peer},
                  {fail_if_no_peer_cert, true}]}

Question :

n  Is it mandatory to have the server certificates and private key configured in RabbitMQ broker ?

n  Can I just have the Root Certificate chain in the RabbitMQ broker  ?

n  My requirement is to only have the Client Certificates been verified by the RabbitMQ broker....NOT server certificates verified by the clients ...

n  I don't want to manage the server certificates and private keys ....just manage the Root Certificates ...is it possible ?
