How to disable RabbitMQ default tcp listening port - 5672

Question

I have configured the RabbitMQ rabbitmq.config file with new port number i.e. 5671 with SSL.

Now I want to disable the default port i.e. 5672.

Answer 1

Here's how to do it with the new configuration file format introduced in RabbitMQ 3.7:

1. Set up the SSL listener in rabbitmq.conf:

   listeners.ssl.1 = 5671
   ssl_options.cacertfile = /path/to/testca/cacert.pem
   ssl_options.certfile = /path/to/server/cert.pem
   ssl_options.keyfile = /path/to/server/key.pem
   ssl_options.verify = verify_peer
   ssl_options.fail_if_no_peer_cert = false
   

2. Disable the non-SSL listener in advanced.config:

   [
    {rabbit,
     [{tcp_listeners, []}
     ]}
   ].
