ActiveMQ Artemis unable to establish connection to Spring Boot Client - spring-boot

Question

I have ActiveMQ Artemis 2.8.1 running and get the following error when I try to connect to it using a Spring Boot application over SSL.
ERROR [org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server] AMQ224018: Failed to create session: java.lang.SecurityException: java.io.IOException: Configuration Error:
Line 11: expected [{], found [sufficient]
Additionally, I get this line in the logs that I've never seen before.
INFO [org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server] AMQ221053: Disallowing use of vulnerable protocol 'SSLv2Hello' on acceptor 'netty-ssl-acceptor'. See http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/security/poodlecve-2014-3566-2339408.html for more details.
I had ActiveMQ Artemis 2.18.0 running initially, and then changed ARTEMIS_HOME in artemis.profile to point to the directory containing 2.8.1 for compatibility reasons. I'm wondering if that change has anything to do with this.
How do I go about resolving this issue?

Answer 1

There is definitely a problem with your configuration. The error message even says so:
ERROR [org.apache.activemq.artemis.core.server] AMQ224018: Failed to create session: java.lang.SecurityException: java.io.IOException: Configuration Error:
Line 11: expected [{], found [sufficient]
Given that it found the word sufficient when it was looking for { I conclude that the problem is in your etc/login.config since that's almost certainly the only place the word sufficient appears and because it's related to security.
The login.config you pasted looks fine to me so my guess is that you pasted the contents of a login.config that isn't actually being used by the broker.
Also, the AMQ221053 message has been in the code-base since the 1.0 release. See ARTEMIS-36.
Lastly, it's kind of odd for you to be specifying the keystore and truststore on both the client and the broker without also specifying needClientAuth=true or wantClientAuth=true on the broker. You would only specify a keystore on a client and a truststore on the broker if you wanted to do mutual SSL, but without needClientAuth=true or wantClientAuth=true that won't actually happen.
