RabbitMQ

Learn how to dynamically generate RabbitMQ user credentials.

The Infisical RabbitMQ dynamic secret allows you to generate RabbitMQ credentials on demand based on configured role.

Prerequisites

1. Ensure that the management plugin is enabled on your RabbitMQ instance. This is required for the dynamic secret to work.

Set up Dynamic Secrets with RabbitMQ

1

Open Secret Overview Dashboard

Open the Secret Overview dashboard and select the environment in which you would like to add a dynamic secret.

2

Click on the 'Add Dynamic Secret' button

3

Select 'RabbitMQ'

4

Provide the inputs for dynamic secret parameters

Secret Name

string

Name by which you want the secret to be referenced

Default TTL

string

Default time-to-live for a generated secret (it is possible to modify this value when a secret is generate)

Max TTL

string

required

Maximum time-to-live for a generated secret.

Host

string

required

Your RabbitMQ host. This must be in HTTP format. (Example: http://your-cluster-ip)

Port

string

required

The port that the RabbitMQ management plugin is listening on. This is 15672 by default.

Virtual host name

string

required

The name of the virtual host that the user will be assigned to. This defaults to /.

Virtual host permissions (Read/Write/Configure)

string

required

The permissions that the user will have on the virtual host. This defaults to .*.

The three permission fields all take a regular expression (regex), that should match resource names for which the user is granted read / write / configuration permissions

Username

string

required

The username of the user that will be used to provision new dynamic secret leases.

Password

string

required

The password of the user that will be used to provision new dynamic secret leases.

CA(SSL)

string

A CA may be required if your DB requires it for incoming connections. This is often the case when connecting to a managed service.

5

Click `Submit`

After submitting the form, you will see a dynamic secret created in the dashboard.

If this step fails, you may have to add the CA certificate.

6

Generate dynamic secrets

Once you’ve successfully configured the dynamic secret, you’re ready to generate on-demand credentials. To do this, simply click on the ‘Generate’ button which appears when hovering over the dynamic secret item. Alternatively, you can initiate the creation of a new lease by selecting ‘New Lease’ from the dynamic secret lease list section.

When generating these secrets, it’s important to specify a Time-to-Live (TTL) duration. This will dictate how long the credentials are valid for.

Ensure that the TTL for the lease fall within the maximum TTL defined when configuring the dynamic secret.

Once you click the Submit button, a new secret lease will be generated and the credentials from it will be shown to you.

Audit or Revoke Leases

Once you have created one or more leases, you will be able to access them by clicking on the respective dynamic secret item on the dashboard. This will allow you see the expiration time of the lease or delete a lease before it’s set time to live.

Renew Leases

To extend the life of the generated dynamic secret leases past its initial time to live, simply click on the Renew as illustrated below.

Lease renewals cannot exceed the maximum TTL set when configuring the dynamic secret
