I've installed the latest RabbitMQ server (rabbitmq-server-3.3.0-1.noarch.rpm) on a fresh Centos 5.10 VM according to the instructions on the official site.
I've done this many times before during development and never had any issues. However, this time I cannot log into the management web interface using the default guest/guest user.
In the logs, I see the following:
=ERROR REPORT==== 4-Apr-2014::00:55:15 ===
webmachine error: path="api/whoami"
"Unauthorized"
What could be causing this?
It's new features since the version 3.3.0 http://www.rabbitmq.com/release-notes/README-3.3.0.txt
server
------
...
25603 prevent access using the default guest/guest credentials except via
localhost.
If you want enable the guest user read this or this RabbitMQ 3.3.1 can not login with guest/guest
# remove guest from loopback_users in rabbitmq.config like this
[{rabbit, [{loopback_users, []}]}].
# It is danger for default user and default password for remote access
# better to change password
rabbitmqctl change_password guest NEWPASSWORD
If you want create a new user with admin grants:
rabbitmqctl add_user test test
rabbitmqctl set_user_tags test administrator
rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / test ".*" ".*" ".*"
Now you can access using test test.
