(related to bug 733758) http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_MRG/2.0/html-single/Management_Console_Installation_Guide/index.html Authentication credentials for the MRG Management Console must be created on the host running the MRG Messaging broker. On the host, run the saslpasswd2 command ***as the root user***: # /usr/sbin/saslpasswd2 -f /var/lib/qpidd/qpidd.sasldb -u QPID cumin The command should be run as the qpidd user, e.g. sudo -u qpidd /usr/sbin/saslpasswd2 -f /var/lib/qpidd/qpidd.sasldb -u QPID cumin Same issue for adding a grid user. A note could be added stating "/var/lib/qpidd/qpidd.sasldb should be readable by the qpidd user". Also, if the ownership is wrong, /var/log/messages will report "qpidd[PID]: unable to open Berkeley db /var/lib/qpidd/qpidd.sasldb: Permission denied" (qpid-cpp-server-0.10-6.fc13.x86_64)
