"activemq-admin browse" and authentication

[Joe Niski]

in ActiveMQ 5.4.2 and 5.5, it seems that there's no way to pass
credentials to the "browse" command - i get an "unrecognized option"
error when i try to add "--user" and "--password". Our broker requires
authentication, so an administrative script i'm trying to write needs to
authenticate (so i can act on a queue based on message content).

Looking at the source for both versions, i see two classes in
org.apache.activemq.console.command - AmqBrowseCommand and
BrowseCommand. AmqBrowseCommand doesn't take user & password params, but
BrowseCommand does. It seems that activemq-admin is invoking
AmqBrowseCommand (and, on the source trunk, i see that options for
username and password have been added).

Is there a way to invoke BrowseCommand from the operating system shell
in AMQ 5.4.2 and 5.5?

You will have to backport this to 5.3.2 and 5.5.

I had the same issue, and fixed it here:

AMQ-3411 | https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3411 | Admin commands which take --amqurl should accept --user and --pass option |
