trouble setting up LDAP integration with ActiveMQ

Question

I have read every page I can find on this, and I just am not getting something. I am but a simple farmer (sysadmin), and I am running out hair to pull out.

What I did: On a Centos7 box, I installed apache-activemq-5.15.8 by downloading the latest tarball, and expanding it. I set up a service file and a few other niceties, and the service will run, and I could log into the admin page with the default creds. Being a masochist, I deiced to make it 'easy' for the users of this app by configuring LDAP integration for the admin page... and that's when the fight started.

I found some conflicting information on the Apache pages. Namely: http://activemq.apache.org/security.html and http://activemq.apache.org/cached-ldap-authorization-module.html

But I found some pages that seem more helpful, like: https://bacedifo.blogspot.com/2013/06/securing-activemq-580-web-console-using.html and ActiveMQ Web console using LDAP Active Directory authentication

The error I am getting is basically the same as from this question: Configuring Activemq web console to use LDAP for authorization and authentication but the answer does not give me enough to go on... I might need it one and two syllable words.

The admin page shows this error:

The activemq.log file shows this error:

My conf changes are: downloaded jetty-jaas-9.4.15.v20190215.jar and ldaptive-1.2.4.jar and copied them to $ACTIVEMQ_HOME/lib

changed $ACTIVEMQ_HOME/conf/login.config:

activemq-local {
    org.apache.activemq.jaas.PropertiesLoginModule required
        debug=true
        org.apache.activemq.jaas.properties.user="org/apache/activemq/security/users.properties"
        org.apache.activemq.jaas.properties.group="org/apache/activemq/security/groups.properties";
};

contosoRealm {
    org.ldaptive.jaas.LdapLoginModule required
        debug=true
        storePass="true"
        ldapUrl="ldap://dc01.contoso.com:389"
        bindDn="cn=SVC ActiveMQ,ou=Service Accounts,dc=contoso,dc=com"
        baseDn="OU=User Accounts,DC=contoso,DC=com"
        bindCredential="contos0_win5"
        useStartTLS="false"
        userFilter="(sAMAccountName={user})";
   org.ldaptive.jaas.LdapRoleAuthorizationModule required
        useFirstPass="true"
        ldapUrl="ldap://dc01.contoso.com:389"

        useStartTLS="false"
        defaultRole="admins"
        roleAttribute="cn";
};

And I configured $ACTIVEMQ_HOME/conf/jetty.xml

If you made it this far, I thank you very much!

Answer 1

Alright, I found it!

So I worked with a java dev that works here, and he said what is likely obvious to many of you: Some necessary classes are not available in the classpath. In some testing and digging, I corrected this by expanding on the instructions found here: ActiveMQ Web console using LDAP Active Directory authentication The answer there says to copy 2 files into the /lib dir, but that does not include dependencies. I found a pack of all dependencies, (checked them on virus total) and copied them all to /lib. While this did not fix every issue, this did fix this error. The bundle of jars I found is here:
