Broker Server ACLs

Broker Server ACLs

By attaching ACLs to a Broker Server, it is possible to limit administrative access to a Broker Server and the Brokers it controls.

Clients without ACL access to a Broker Server can only view certain types of information about Broker Server, such as the names of its Brokers, including the default Broker, statistical information, and whether basic authentication or SSL is configured. Clients with ACL access are granted user rights to do the following:

View the Broker Server's identity

Create Brokers

Delete Brokers

Get and set the following:

Basic authentication; clients with administrative access to the Broker Server can turn off basic authentication, which controls the security of the entire Broker system

SSL configuration; clients with administrative access to the Broker Server can turn off SSL, which controls the security of the entire Broker system

License key (contained in the license file)
