I am trying to implement certificate based authentication for Red Hat AMQ 7.0.1. I have setup client and broker side according to AMQ example "ssl-enabled-dual-authentication," but I am getting following error:
[org.apache.activemq.artemis.spi.core.security.ActiveMQJAASSecurityManager] Couldn't validate user:
javax.security.auth.login.FailedLoginException: User is null
I am trying using Apache Qpid AMQP1.0 client. Though I have configured cert base login configuration, but it seems jaas PropertiesLoginModule is being invoked.
Following is server stack trace.

Certificate based authentication is not implemented for AMQP clients. Authentication for AMQP clients is implemented via SASL and the only implemented SASL mechanisms are PLAIN and ANONYMOUS. I'm not aware of a SASL mechanism that supports authentication via SSL certificate.
To be clear, certificate based authentication is currently implemented for "core", OpenWire, STOMP, & MQTT clients (none of which use SASL).
