Invalid host with rabbitmqadmin

Access refused means your user doesn’t have access to the current vhost for performing management of queues and other except than listing queues. Listing queues doesn’t require permissions.

./rabbitmqadmin -u someadminuser -p someadminpw= --host localhost --port 15672 --vhost=test declare queue name=queue1 durable=true

*** Access refused: /api/queues/test/queue1

The solution is to set the right permissions: rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p test someadminuser ".*" ".*" ".*"

Listing the permissions shows user someadminuser has the right permissions

rabbitmqctl list_permissions -p test
Listing permissions for vhost "/" ...
user    configure       write   read
someadminuser     .*      .*      .*

Declaring a queue is now successful with the right permission

./rabbitmqadmin -u someadminuser -p someadminpw= --host localhost --port 15672 --vhost=test declare queue name=queue1 durable=true

queue declared
