Exception (403) Reason: "username or password not allowed" - docker

Question

I am trying to access rabbitmq cluster where TLS is enabled. I have written sample go app which trying to connect to the rabbitmq server using set of client certificates and client keys.
I am facing error -
Error is - Exception (403) Reason: "username or password not allowed"
panic: Exception (403) Reason: "username or password not allowed"
My code snippet
package main
import (
"crypto/tls"
"crypto/x509"
"fmt"
"io/ioutil"
"log"
"github.com/streadway/amqp"
)
func main() {
fmt.Println("Go RabbitMQ Consumer Tutorial")
fmt.Println("Testing ClusterIP service connection over TLS")
cert, err := tls.LoadX509KeyPair("client.crt", "client.key")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
//Load CA cert.
caCert, err := ioutil.ReadFile("ca.crt") // The same you configured in your MQ server
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
caCertPool := x509.NewCertPool()
caCertPool.AppendCertsFromPEM(caCert)
TlsConfig1 := &tls.Config{
Certificates: []tls.Certificate{cert}, // from tls.LoadX509KeyPair
RootCAs: caCertPool,
InsecureSkipVerify: true,
// ...other options are just the same as yours
}
conn, err := amqp.DialTLS("amqps://<username>:<password>#<rabbitmq-service-name>.<namespace>.svc.cluster.local:5671/", TlsConfig1)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error is -", err)
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println("Connected to consumer successfully")
defer conn.Close()
ch, err := conn.Channel()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
defer ch.Close()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
msgs, err := ch.Consume(
"TestQueue",
"",
true,
false,
false,
false,
nil,
)
forever := make(chan bool)
go func() {
for d := range msgs {
fmt.Printf("Recieved Message: %s\n", d.Body)
}
}()
fmt.Println("Successfully Connected to our RabbitMQ Instance")
fmt.Println(" [*] - Waiting for messages")
<-forever
}
The code snippet is running as pod in the EKS cluster where my rabbitmq cluster is running.

Answer 1

After going through the rabbitmq TLS debugging doc- https://www.rabbitmq.com/access-control.html I figured out that I was giving wrong username and password.
NOTE: if any one who is also getting the same erorr - please confirm that you are using correct username and password.
you can check the username and password for the cluster by logging into the rabbitmq cluster pod.

This happens to me on version 11.6.0 but not on 10.3.9.
