RabbitMQ 3.5.1 - Definitions.json - Password

[medley]

Hello,

I'm using a definitions.json file that i have declared in the rabbit.config file

{rabbitmq_management,
  [%% Pre-Load schema definitions from the following JSON file. See
   %% http://www.rabbitmq.com/management.html#load-definitions
   %%
   
   {load_definitions, "definitions.json"}
...
 

the definitions.json file looks like this :

{
    "rabbit_version": "3.5.1",
    "users": [
        {
            "name": "rabbitmq",
            "password_hash": "aedb75dfc563674e1263316b01879722",
            "tags": "administrator"
        }
    ],
    "vhosts": [
        {
            "name": "/"
        }
    ],
    "permissions": [
        {
            "user": "rabbitmq",
            "vhost": "/",
            "configure": ".*",
            "write": ".*",
            "read": ".*"
        }
    ],

However, if I want to connect to the RabbitMQ Management web application, the login fails.

I think that it is a problem with the password hash. But which hash function should I use ?

Regards

I tried with this. I replaced the attribute "password_hash" with the attribute "password". This is working.

{
    "rabbit_version": "3.5.1",
    "users": [
        {
            "name": "rabbitmq",


            "password": "rabbitmq",
            "tags": "administrator"
        }
    ],


But I would like to try with the attribute "password_hash"

You should be able to produce a hash with

rabbitmqctl eval 'binary_to_list(base64:encode(rabbit_auth_backend_internal:hash_password(<<"topsecret">>))).'
# => "bE7oUO2q4UmiUs/fs6okC0kJtBE="

The hashing function is MD5, with a salt. HTTP API requires the values to be
base64-encoded.
