RabbitMQ LDAP Authentication Backend

This plugin provides authentication and authorisation backends for RabbitMQ that use LDAP.

Under a heavy load this plugin can put a higher than expected amount of load on it's backing LDAP service. We recommend using it together with rabbitmq_auth_backend_cache with a reasonable caching interval (e.g. 2-3 minutes).

Installation

This plugin ships with reasonably recent RabbitMQ versions (e.g. 3.3.0 or later). Enable it with

rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_auth_backend_ldap

Documentation

See LDAP guide on rabbitmq.com.

Building from Source

See Plugin Development guide.

TL;DR: running

make dist

will build the plugin and put build artifacts under the ./plugins directory.
