Unable to use auth backed http to authenticate access to management

[brett--anderson]

I have setup the auth backend http plugin and the http auth service is being called successfully when I try and connect to an exchange with Python. When I try and login to the management plugin using the web interface, it also calls the auth service, but then RabbitMQ throws the error: HTTP access denied: user 'guest' - Not management user. The auth service returns 'allow' for any request at this stage.

Is there a way to configure the auth service to return this management tag and thereby satisfy this requirement? If not, please consider this a feature request, or at least a request to update the readme to make it clear that this plugin will not work with the management plugin and developers must therefore combine it with an internal authenticator for admin users.

Please post questions to rabbitmq-users or Stack Overflow. RabbitMQ uses GitHub issues for specific actionable items engineers can work on, not questions. Thank you.

Have you seen the docs and example app?

Sorry, looks like I missed the return value: allow administrator, I was just returning: allow

"allow management" or "allow policymaker" would be sufficient, by the way.
