The following example will install RabbitMQ Server and configure manager and onapp accounts with random password generated and ready to use by vCloud:

# /onapp/onapp-rabbitmq/onapp-rabbitmq.sh

The ready to use credentials.yml could be used to configure OnApp's Control Panel and vCloud access.

# cat /onapp/onapp-rabbitmq/credentials.yml
---

port: 5672
user: 'onapp'
password: 'PASSWORD'
vhost: '/'
host: '127.0.0.1'

Just run the CP's installer with the following options (RBT_HOST - remote RabbitMQ Server standalone IP address):

# /onapp/onapp-cp-install/onapp-cp-install.sh --rbthost=RBT_HOST --vcdlogin=onapp --vcdpasswd='PASSWORD'

or copy /onapp/onapp-rabbitmq/credentials.yml from the RabbitMQ Server standalone box, into Control Panel /onapp/configuration/rabbit_mq/vcloud/credentials.yml.

As soon as the Control Panel installer completes, add ‘onapp’ system user’s RSA public key to authorize root user login on remote RabbitMQ Server via ssh:

# ssh-copy-id -i /home/onapp/.ssh/id_rsa root@RBT_HOST


The RabbitMQ manager's account credentials are available at the.rabbitmq.mgr file:

 # cat /onapp/onapp-rabbitmq/.rabbitmq.mgr 
rbtmgr MANAGER_PASSWORD

Also you can monitor RabbitMQ server using a command-line tool for it.
