Hi dev team, I'm developing an ActiveMQ Broker Plugin that uses Apache Shiro to secure all aspects of ActiveMQ (at least that I'm able to tell) such as authenticating connections, authorizing access to destinations, etc.
While ActiveMQ's default security capabilities are a fine effort, this plugin allows for a more powerful security experience such as fine-grained access control via permissions, more security data store integrations via Shiro Realms, etc, as well as being easier to understand for most people than JAAS for example. If the ActiveMQ dev team is willing to accept it, I'd like to contribute this to the project, probably as a new Maven module under https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/activemq/trunk/activemq-shiro. As an ASF committer and PMC Chair for Shiro, my CLAs are already in order. Is this something that the ActiveMQ dev team would be willing to adopt? I'd be happy to provide a patch if so, as well as a new documentation page on the ActiveMQ website explaining how to use it. Thoughts? Thanks for any feedback, -- Les Hazlewood | @lhazlewood CTO, Stormpath | http://stormpath.com | @goStormpath | 888.391.5282 PMC Chair, Apache Shiro | http://shiro.apache.org
