Andrew Stitcher resolved QPID-4013. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Note that this change represents a small change in default functionality: The broker now looks in the CurrentUser certificate store by default. To use the previous default specify "--ssl-cert-store-location LocalMachine" on the qpidd command line. Or set the equivalent option in the configuration file. > Windows Broker SSL is more difficult to use than necessary and possibly less > secure than possible > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: QPID-4013 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-4013 > Project: Qpid > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: C++ Broker > Affects Versions: 0.14, 0.16, 0.17 > Environment: Windows > Reporter: Andrew Stitcher > Assignee: Andrew Stitcher > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.17 > > > The current Windows Broker SSL code always uses the LocalMachine certificate > store opened read/write. This has a number of drawbacks: > * Opening read/write means that the broker has to run as administrator to use > the certificates in the store. The broker only reads from the store so this > is actually unnecessary. > * Forcing use of LocalMachine for the certificates means that they are > readable by every user on the machine which might be a security issue. As it > would allow any process on the machine to impersonate the qpid broker. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
