Looking at your etc.zip... Your bootstrap.xml looks fine. The jaas-security domain is "activemq" (which is defined in login.config).
Your login.config looks fine. It's using the default configuration. However, your artemis-users.properties and artemis-roles.properties don't contain the users/roles that the example expects to be there. That's why you get an authentication failure for the user "bill" when you run the example against your broker (e.g. using 'mvn -PnoServer verify'). Also, your broker.xml doesn't have the security-setting configuration that the example expects so even if you added the right users and roles to the properties files you'd still get failures when running the example against your broker. You can take a look at each of these files from the example (i.e. artemis-users.properties, artemis-roles.properties, and broker.xml) to see what you need to change in your configuration to run the example successfully against your broker. Just to be clear, the output you shared console2.txt is what I would expect from . It looks to me like everything is working properly given the circumstances.
