I have an issue trying to encrypt the password in the credentials.properties file which is used for browsing the queue messages on GUI console. For authentication and authorization I followed these steps. It seems that the default behaviour is to look for username and password in credentials.properties and by adding encrypted values it fails with:

Caused by: javax.jms.JMSSecurityException: User name [admin] or password is invalid.

Everything works fine in rest, producing messages, consuming messages, connecting with the encrypted passwords from credentials-enc.properties to the queue. The only problem is that I want to hide the clear text values from credentials.properties. If the password is in clear text it works. I'm using ActiveMQ 5.16.1 installed on a Red Hat 6.6 linux server. Does somebody know how to do this? Thanks in advance!

I've tried encrypting it with jetty-util MD5 and jasypt. Neither works.
