secure rabbitmq server and management console.

CentOS 6.5 x64

1. create file /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config

[

{rabbitmq_management, [{listener, [{port, 15672},{ip, "127.0.0.1"}]}]},

{kernel,[{inet_dist_use_interface,{127,0,0,1}}]}

].

2. create file /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-env.conf

export RABBITMQ_NODENAME=rabbit@localhost

export RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1

export ERL_EPMD_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1

3. Establish ssh tunnel from your machine to remote rabbitmq server

ssh -L 15672:127.0.0.1:15672 user@remotehost -p 22

Now, you can connect to admin console using browser http://localhost:15672
This is very useful for hosting machines.
