[rabbitmq-discuss] Change the password for guest account or remove guest account from RabbitMQ

[Roshan Pradeep]

Hi All

What are the impacts for changing the password for "guest" user account or remove the "guest" account entirely. I can create my own account and assign it to vhost currently I am using.

Is the guest/guest is use inside RabbitMQ code for any purpose?

Any helps are appreciate.

I think I found the solution.

You are free to use any name and password, and we recommend that you use
a stronger password in an environment where you don't control network
access to the broker.

Also look at http://www.rabbitmq.com/authentication.html for alternative
authentication mechanisms.

No, you are not required to have a user configured with username "guest"
and password "guest".
