Changes

Core Server

Bug Fixes

• Logging to amq.rabbitmq.log exchange is available again as a logging mechanism. Note that
  the user must opt-in by setting log.exchange = true in the config file.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq-server#1456

• During node boot, the logger will temporarily accept a much higher maximum rate so that no messages are dropped.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq-server#1471

Enhancements

• Internal authN backend will now prohibit logins with a blank passwords. Such attempts
  are usually made by mistake because a passwordless user that was meant to authenticate
  using x509 (TLS) certificates was not configured to use the correct authentication
  mechanism.

  Note that the same behavior can already be achieved using a credential validator, so this is
  just an extra safety measure.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq-server#1465

Management Plugin

Bug Fixes

• Definition import now stores global parameters in a way that the MQTT plugin expects.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq-management#528

• User update form now successfully updates tags for passwordless users (or if the password is cleared at the same time).

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq-management#533

Enhancements

• For passwordless users, the "no password" option on the user editing form is now preselected.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq-management#537

LDAP AuthN/AuthZ Backend Plugin

Bug Fixes

• More config keys are now supported via new style config format.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq-auth-backend-ldap#78

CLI Tools

Bug Fixes

• CLI tools honor RABBITMQ_CTL_ERL_ARGS again.

  GitHub issue: rabbitmq-server#1461
