Can't authenticate with RabbitMQ user

[Joseph Esrig]

I have a RabbitMQ server running with a 'guest' user:

sudo rabbitmqctl list_users

Listing users ...

guest   [administrator]

test    [administrator]

When I try to authenticate, I get the following error:

sudo rabbitmqctl authenticate_user guest guest

Error: could not recognise command

When I try to log in with the UI, it also wouldn't let me in. I already restarted rabbitmq-server and nothing helped.

I also am sure that this is the correct password since I was able to do a password reset from the prompt.

Do you know why I am having this issue?

"Error: could not recognise command" means your version of RabbitMQ doesn't provide

that command [1].

See server log files. "guest" can only connect from localhost by default [2] — that's the most common

reason.
