Thank you for the quick answer! That clarifies me about the differences in authentication in older console and in hawtio.
As far as I understand, in the default configuration, both console have a user 'admin' with password 'admin'. So, I should be able to login to hawtio with that user. Is it maybe a matter of groups? groups.properties reads: admins=admin isn't it wrong? Doesn't mean user 'admins' is in group 'admin'? As my user is 'admin', it should be: admin=admin BTW: it doesn't allow me to login either, thank you, Francesco -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Endless-Failed-to-log-in-Forbidden-with-hawt-io-tp4673183p4673185.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
