AMQPS (TLS)

LavinMQ supports TLS 1.2 and 1.3, both for AMQPS and HTTPS.

If a valid certificate and key are available, LavinMQ will listen on port 5671 for AMQPS and port 15671 for HTTPS.

The location of the valid certificate and key could be configured in the config.ini file as shown below:

Default config

[main]
tls_cert = /etc/lavinmq/cert.pem
tls_key = /etc/lavinmq/key.pem
tls_min_version = 1.2

[mgmt]
tls_port = 15671

[amqp]
tls_port = 5671

Reloading certificates

Send a HUP signal to reload certificate if files have changed e.g. renewed. Existing connections will not be interrupted, and new TLS connections will be served the new certificate.

Wrap up

You can configure TLS in LavinMQ to ensure a secure and robust communication environment. LavinMQ supports both TLS 1.2 and 1.3, for AMQPS and HTTPS. LavinMQ requires valid certificate and key for TLS to work. You can configure the location of these certificates and keys in the config.ini file.
