29.4. Changing the security manager

If you do not want to use the default security manager, you can specify a different one by editing the file hornetq-jboss-beans.xml and changing the class for the HornetQSecurityManager bean.

HornetQ ships with two security manager implementations you can use. One is a JAAS security manager and the other is for integrating with JBoss Enterprise Application Platform security. Alternatively you could write your own implementation by implementing the org.hornetq.spi.core.security.HornetQSecurityManager interface, and specifying the class name of your implementation in the file hornetq-jboss-beans.xml.

These two implementations are discussed in the next two sections.
