I tried to enable hawtio interface in Apache ActiveMQ like described in How to configure the ActiveMQ 5.10.0 HawtIO interface? which is obviously based on http://sensatic.net/activemq/activemq-and-hawtio.html.
I am able to see the logon screen of hawt.io when I access http://localhost:12345/hawtio but get a "Failed to login. Forbidden" when I use the login credentials that perfectly work with the standard webconsole that comes with ActiveMQ.
The necessary changes have been put into the env file:
if [ -z "$ACTIVEMQ_OPTS" ] ; then
ACTIVEMQ_OPTS="$ACTIVEMQ_OPTS_MEMORY -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -Djava.security.auth.login.config=$ACTIVEMQ_CONF/login.config -Dhawtio.realm=activemq -Dhawtio.role=admins -Dhawtio.rolePrincipalClasses=org.apache.activemq.jaas.GroupPrincipal "
I don't see any reason for this. Two remarks (I don't know if this might be relevant): as you can see I changed the default port from 8161 to a different value. And I configured Jetty to only listen on localhost and use a ssh tunnel.
Is the "Forbidden" message a hint for me that I need to have a look at ./webapps/hawtio/WEB-INF/classes/jolokia-access.xml ?
