- <title>External (SSL Client Certificates)</title>
-
- <para> When <link linkend="Java-Broker-Management-Managing-Truststores"> requiring SSL Client
- Certificates</link> be presented the External Authentication Provider can be used, such that
- the user is authenticated based on trust of their certificate alone, and the X500Principal
- from the SSL session is then used as the username for the connection, instead of also
- requiring the user to present a valid username and password. </para>
-
- <para>
- <emphasis role="bold">Note:</emphasis> The External Authentication Provider should typically
- only be used on the AMQP/HTTP ports, in conjunction with <link
- linkend="Java-Broker-Management-Managing-Ports">SSL client certificate
- authentication</link>. It is not intended for other uses such as the JMX management port and
- will treat any non-sasl authentication processes on these ports as successful with the given
- username. As such you should configure another Authentication Provider for use on JMX
- ports.</para>
-
- <para>On creation of External Provider the use of full DN or username CN as a principal name can
- be configured. If attribute "Use the full DN as the Username" is set to "true" the full DN is
- used as an authenticated principal name. If attribute "Use the full DN as the Username" is set
- to "false" the user name CN part is used as the authenticated principal name. Setting the
- field to "false" is particular useful when <link linkend="Java-Broker-Security-ACLs"
- >ACL</link> is required, as at the moment, ACL does not support commas in the user name.
