>SOLUTION

Enable or disable the SSL protocol.

An example of the properties file (application.yml):

  rabbit-host: mydomain.com 

  rabbit-port: 5672

  rabbit-ssl: false

  rabbit-user: john doe

  rabbit-pass: secret

Java code snippet to check the "rabbit-ssl" property:

if (PropertiesYml.BROKER_SSL) {

try {

factory.useSslProtocol();

this.connection = factory.newConnection();

} catch (KeyManagementException | NoSuchAlgorithmException | IOException | TimeoutException e) {

logger.error(String.format("Application terminated: factory failed to instantiate due to: %s.", e.getMessage()));

}

} else {

try {

this.connection = factory.newConnection();

} catch (IOException | TimeoutException e) {

logger.error(String.format("Application terminated: factory failed to instantiate due to: %s.", e.getMessage()));

}

}
