Spring AMQP + RabbitMQ 3.3.5 ACCESS_REFUSED - Login was refused using authentication mechanism PLAIN
RabbitmqSpring IntegrationSpring AmqpRabbitmq Problem Overview
I am getting below exception
> org.springframework.amqp.AmqpAuthenticationException: com.rabbitmq.client.AuthenticationFailureException: ACCESS_REFUSED - Login was refused using authentication mechanism PLAIN. For details see the broker logfile.
Configuration: RabbitMQ 3.3.5 on windows
On Config file in %APPDATA%\RabbitMQ\rabbit.config
I have done below change as per https://www.rabbitmq.com/access-control.html
[{rabbit, [{loopback_users, []}]}].
I also tried creating a user/pwd - test/test doesn't seem to make it work.
Tried the Steps from this post.
Other Configuration Details are as below:
Tomcat hosted Spring Application Context:
<!-- Rabbit MQ configuration Start -->
<!-- Connection Factory -->
<rabbit:connection-factory id="rabbitConnFactory" virtual-host="/" username="guest" password="guest" port="5672"/>
<!-- Spring AMQP Template -->
<rabbit:template id="rabbitTemplate" connection-factory="rabbitConnFactory" routing-key="ecl.down.queue" queue="ecl.down.queue" />
<!-- Spring AMQP Admin -->
<rabbit:admin id="admin" connection-factory="rabbitConnFactory"/>
<rabbit:queue id="ecl.down.queue" name="ecl.down.queue" />
<rabbit:direct-exchange name="ecl.down.exchange">
<rabbit:bindings>
<rabbit:binding key="ecl.down.key" queue="ecl.down.queue"/>
</rabbit:bindings>
</rabbit:direct-exchange>
In my Controller Class
@Autowired
RmqMessageSender rmqMessageSender;
//Inside a method
rmqMessageSender.submitToECLDown(orderInSession.getOrderNo());
In My Message sender:
import org.springframework.amqp.core.AmqpTemplate;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
@Component("messageSender")
public class RmqMessageSender {
@Autowired
AmqpTemplate rabbitTemplate;
public void submitToRMQ(String orderId){
try{
rabbitTemplate.convertAndSend("Hello World");
} catch (Exception e){
LOGGER.error(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
Above exception Block gives below Exception
> org.springframework.amqp.AmqpAuthenticationException: com.rabbitmq.client.AuthenticationFailureException: ACCESS_REFUSED - Login was refused using authentication mechanism PLAIN. For details see the broker logfile.

Rabbitmq Solutions
Solution 1 - Rabbitmq
I am sure what Artem Bilan has explained here might be one of the reasons for this error:
> Caused by: com.rabbitmq.client.AuthenticationFailureException: > ACCESS_REFUSED - Login was refused using authentication mechanism PLAIN. > For details see the
but the solution for me was that I logged in to rabbitMQ admin page (http://localhost:15672/#/users) with the default user name and password which is guest/guest then added a new user and for that new user I enabled the permission to access it from virtual host and then used the new user name and password instead of default guest and that cleared the error.
Solution 2 - Rabbitmq
To complete @cpu-100 answer,
in case you don't want to enable/use web interface, you can create a new credentials using command line like below and use it in your code to connect to RabbitMQ.
$ rabbitmqctl add_user YOUR_USERNAME YOUR_PASSWORD
$ rabbitmqctl set_user_tags YOUR_USERNAME administrator
$ rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p / YOUR_USERNAME ".*" ".*" ".*"
Solution 3 - Rabbitmq
> user 'guest' can only connect via localhost
That's true since RabbitMQ 3.3.x. Hence you should upgrade to the same version the client library, or just upgrade Spring AMQP to the latest version (if you use dependency managent system).
Previous version of client used 127.0.0.1
as default value for the host
option of ConnectionFactory
.
Solution 4 - Rabbitmq
The error
ACCESS_REFUSED - Login was refused using authentication mechanism PLAIN. For details see the broker logfile.
can occur if the credentials that your application is trying to use to connect to RabbitMQ are incorrect or missing.
I had this happen when the RabbitMQ credentials stored in my ASP.NET application's web.config
file had a value of ""
for the password instead of the actual password string value.
Solution 5 - Rabbitmq
To allow guest access remotely, write this
[{rabbit, [{loopback_users, []}]}].
to here
c:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\RabbitMQ\rabbitmq.config
then restart the rabbitmq windows service (Source https://www.rabbitmq.com/access-control.html)
Solution 6 - Rabbitmq
New solution:
The node module can't handle :
in a password properly. Even url encoded, like it would work normally, it does not work.
Don't use typicalspecial characters from an URL in the password!
Like one of the following: : . ? + %
Original, wrong answer:
The error message clearly complains about using PLAIN
, it does not mean the crendentials are wrong, it means you must use encrypted data delivery (TLS) instead of plaintext.
Changing amqp://
in the connection string to amqps://
(note the s
) solves this.
Solution 7 - Rabbitmq
just add login password to connect to RabbitMq
CachingConnectionFactory connectionFactory =
new CachingConnectionFactory("rabbit_host");
connectionFactory.setUsername("login");
connectionFactory.setPassword("password");
Solution 8 - Rabbitmq
For me the solution was simple: the user name is case sensitive. Failing to use the correct caps will also lead to the error.
Solution 9 - Rabbitmq
if you use the number as your password, maybe you should try to change your password using string.
I can login using deltaqin:000000 on the website, but had this while running the program. then change the password to deltaiqn. and it works.
Solution 10 - Rabbitmq
On localhost , By default use 'amqp://guest:guest@localhost:5672'
So on a remote or hosted RabbitMQ. Let's say you have the following credentials
username: niceboy password: notnice host: goxha.com port : 1597
then the uri you should pass will be
amqp://niceboy:[email protected]:1597
following the template amqp://user:pass@host:10000
if you have a vhost you can do amqp://user:pass@host:10000/vhost where the trailing vhost will be the name of your vhost
Solution 11 - Rabbitmq
I made exactly what @grepit made.
But I had to made some changes in my Java code:
In Producer and Receiver project I altered:
ConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory();
factory.setHost("your-host-ip");
factory.setUsername("username-you-created");
factory.setPassword("username-password");
Doing that, you are connecting an specific host as the user you have created. It works for me!
Solution 12 - Rabbitmq
I was facing this issue due to empty space at the end of the password(spring.rabbitmq.password=rabbit ) in spring boot application.properties got resolved on removing the empty space. Hope this checklist helps some one facing this issue.
Solution 13 - Rabbitmq
In my case I had this error, cuz of wrongly set password (I tried to use 5672, when the actual one in my system was 5676). Maybe this will help someone to double check ports...
Solution 14 - Rabbitmq
set ConnectionFactory or Connection hostname to localhost
