RabbitMQ

Create an integration to manage access to a RabbitMQ instance

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 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.

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.

Follow these steps to complete the integration:

1. On the Catalog tab, click RabbitMQ. The Connect Integration page appears.
2. Under Discovery, click one or more resource types to sync with Apono.

Apono automatically discovers and syncs all the instances in the environment. After syncing, you can manage Access Flows to these resources.

1. Click Next. The Apono connector section expands.

2. From the dropdown menu, select a connector.

If the desired connector is not listed, click + Add new connector and follow the instructions for creating a connector (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes).

1. Click Next. The Integration Config section expands.

2. Define the Integration Config settings.

   Setting	Description
   Integration Name	Unique, alphanumeric, user-friendly name used to identify the integration when constructing an access flow
   Url	URL for the RabbitMQ Management Console, excluding the path You may optionally include the protocol (https:// or http://). Example: https://b-1a2b3c4d-5e6f-7g8h-9i0j-1k2l3m4n5o6p.mq.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

3. Click Next. The Secret Store section expands.

4. Associate the secret or credentials.
5. Click Next. The Get more with Apono section expands.

6. Define the Get more with Apono settings.

   Setting	Description
   Custom Access Details	(Optional) Instructions explaining how to access this integration's resources Upon accessing an integration, a message with these instructions will be displayed to end users in the User Portal. The message may include up to 400 characters. To view the message as it appears to end users, click Preview.
   Integration Owner	(Optional) Fallback approver if no resource owner is found Follow these steps to define one or several integration owners: From the Attribute dropdown menu, select User or Group under the relevant identity provider (IdP) platform. From the Value dropdown menu, select one or multiple users or groups. NOTE: When Resource Owner is defined, an Integration Owner must be defined.
   Resource Owner	(Optional) Group or role responsible for managing access approvals or rejections for the resource Follow these steps to define one or several resource owners: Enter a Key name. This value is the name of the tag created in your cloud environment. From the Attribute dropdown menu, select an attribute under the IdP platform to which the key name is associated. Apono will use the value associated with the key (tag) to identify the resource owner. When you update the membership of the group or role in your IdP platform, this change is also reflected in Apono. NOTE: When this setting is defined, an Integration Owner must also be defined.

7. Click Confirm.

💡Are you integrating with Apono using Terraform?

If you want to integrate with Apono using Terraform, follow these steps instead of clicking Confirm:

1. At the top of the screen, click View as Code. A modal appears with the completed Terraform configuration code.

2. Click to copy the code.

3. Make any additional edits.

4. Deploy the code in your Terraform.

Refer to Integration Config Metadata for more details about the schema definition.

Now that you have completed this integration, you can create access flows that grant permission to your RabbitMQ instance.
