I have enabled JAAS authentication (simple authentication)on an activemq broker - by including the plugins in the activemq config XML file. I have multiple authentication entries (one for each topic). My questions are: 1- Each time I add a new topic to the XML file, the broker has to be restarted to apply that authentication. Is there a way to hotsync the updated the XML file's authentication without restarting the broker? 2- Is there an open source GUI for administering userids for simple JAAS authetication - sort of a 3-way update between the XML authentication entry, the users.properties file and groups.properties file? 3- Is there a different authentication mechanism I should move to as number of subscribers and topics grow?
