How to reset user for rabbitmq management

Question

Using rabbitmq, we can install management plugin. Then we access via browser using http://localhost:55672/ using guest:guest. The problem is, I can not login anymore because i changed password and entered blank for role.

Is there any way to reset user for rabbitmq management?

Answer 1

You can access the user-management with rabbitmqctl and use the command:

add_user {username} {password}

or more preferably maybe edit an existing user, or set the permissions for the new user with:

set_permissions [-p vhostpath] {user} {conf} {write} {read}

For example use the following commands: (it is important to perform these three steps even when creating a new user, if you want to be able to login to the UI console and for your programs to work without facing any permission issues)

rabbitmqctl add_user newadmin s0m3p4ssw0rd
rabbitmqctl set_user_tags newadmin administrator
rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / newadmin ".*" ".*" ".*"

...to create a new administrator user with full access to the default / vhost.

You can find all this on the RabbitMQ homepage, and more specifically on this page
