JMSXUserId Can be spoofed by client
-----------------------------------

                 Key: AMQ-3211
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3211
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Broker
    Affects Versions: 5.4.2
            Reporter: Michael Steiner


It seems the JMSXUserId can be spoofed by client contrary to what 
http://activemq.apache.org/jmsxuserid.html says.

My test setup is populateJMSXUserID="true set in broker, a JAAS config 
org.apache.activemq.jaas.TextFileCertificateLoginModule and using mutual auth 
SSL (i.e., ?needClientAuth=true for transportConnector setup). 

When the client does not set the property, then i get the properly 
authenticated DN as JMSXUserID using message.getStringProperty("JMSXUserID"). 
However, when the client sets it, i get the value set by the client.  The only 
difference i notice is that in the former case, message.getPropertyNames() does 
not return JMSXUserID whereas in the spoofed case it does. 

i wonder whether in the context of 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-943 or 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-2840 (which interestingly doesn't 
list JMSXUserID as supported in a comment even though it is?)
