# x509 (TLS/SSL) certificate Authentication Mechanism for RabbitMQ # x509 (TLS/SSL) certificate Authentication Mechanism for RabbitMQ
Authenticates the user, obtaining the username from the client's This plugin allows RabbitMQ clients authenticate using x509 certificates

instead of credentials (username/password pairs).
In order to use this mechanism the client must connect over SSL, and
## How it Works
When a client connects and performs TLS upgrade,
the username is obtained from the client's
TLS (x509) certificate. The user's password is not checked.
In order to use this mechanism the client must connect with TLS enabled, and
present a client certificate. present a client certificate.
The mechanism must also be enabled in RabbitMQ's configuration file -
see [TLS Authentication guide](http://www.rabbitmq.com/authentication.html) for more details, or ## Usage
