18.2. Authentication
Qpid uses Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) to authenticate client connections to the broker. SASL is a framework that supports a variety of authentication methods. For secure applications, use CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, or GSSAPI (Kerberos) mechanisms. The ANONYMOUS mechanism is not secure. The PLAIN mechanism is secure only when used together with SSL.
