I haven't configured ActiveMQ itself for SSL, but "need client auth" in SSL 
means that the server will request the client's certificate and verify that it 
matches the server's trusted certificates. If you want anonymous SSL and 
application-level username and password, I think you need to set 
transport.needClientAuth=false.
