IAM authentication with OAuth 2.0 for Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ
Big Data Blog
This article explains IAM authentication with OAuth 2.0 for Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ, eliminating static credentials through short-lived JWTs issued by AWS STS.
- Clients authenticate using IAM roles instead of broker-local usernames and passwords
- AWS STS issues short-lived JWTs validated by the broker using JWKS endpoint
- Scope aliases map IAM role ARNs to RabbitMQ permissions for vhost-level access control
- Multi-tenant isolation enforced at IAM, broker, and audit layers through per-tenant roles
- Requires RabbitMQ versions 3.13 and 4.2 or later with IAM outbound federation enabled
- Centralized access control through IAM roles with automatic credential rotation and CloudTrail audit logging
IAM-based OAuth 2.0 authentication provides credential-free access, centralized management, and comprehensive audit trails for Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ deployments.
