# RabbitMQ RabbitMQ is a message broker used to facilitate asynchronous communication between services in distributed systems. Through this integration, Apono helps you discover your RabbitMQ resources and securely manage access to them with just-in-time permissions. *** ### Prerequisite

Item	Description
RabbitMQ Admin Access	User account with admin permissions to create a new user

*** ### Create a dedicated Apono user Follow these steps to create a dedicated user for Apono: 1. In the RabbitMQ Management portal, on the **Admin** tab, under **Add a user**, enter a **Username** such as *apono\_connector*. 2. Set a strong **Password**. Be sure to save this password to create a secret later. 3. For **Tags**, click **Admin** to assign administrative privileges to the user. 4. Click **Add user**. 5. Copy the URL of the page without the path for use during the integration. 6. Create a [secret](https://docs.apono.io/docs/connectors-and-secrets/apono-integration-secret) with the credentials from steps **1-2**.\ \ Use the following key-value pair structure when generating the secret. Be sure to replace `#PASSWORD` with the actual value. If you used a different name for the user, replace `apono_connector` with the name you assigned to the user. ``` "username": "apono_connector", "password": "#PASSWORD" ``` You can now [integrate RabbitMQ](#integrate-rabbitmq). *** ### Integrate RabbitMQ

{% hint style="success" %} You can also use the steps below to integrate with Apono using Terraform. In step **10**, instead of clicking **Confirm**, follow the **Are you integrating with Apono using Terraform?** guidance. {% endhint %} Follow these steps to complete the integration: 1. On the [**Catalog**](https://app.apono.io/catalog?search=rabbitmq) tab, click **RabbitMQ**. The **Connect Integration** page appears. 2.
