<para>OpenStack uses a <glossterm>message broker</glossterm> to coordinate
operations and status information among services. The message broker
service typically runs on the controller node. OpenStack supports several
message brokers including <application>RabbitMQ</application>,
<application>Qpid</application>, and <application>ZeroMQ</application>.
However, most distributions that package OpenStack support a particular
message broker. This guide covers the RabbitMQ message broker which is
supported by each distribution. If you prefer to implement a
different message broker, consult the documentation associated
with it.</para>

<para>The message broker creates a default account that uses
<literal>guest</literal> for the username and password. To simplify
installation of your test environment, we recommend that you use this
account, but change the password for it.</para>
<para>Run the following command:</para>
<para>Replace <replaceable>RABBIT_PASS</replaceable> with a suitable
password.</para>
<screen><prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>rabbitmqctl change_password guest <replaceable>RABBIT_PASS</replaceable></userinput></screen>
<para>You must configure the <literal>rabbit_password</literal> key
in the configuration file for each OpenStack service that uses the
message broker.</para>
<note>
<para>For production environments, you should create a unique account
with suitable password. For more information on securing the
message broker, see the
<link xlink:href="https://www.rabbitmq.com/man/rabbitmqctl.1.man.html"
>documentation</link>.</para>
<para>If you decide to create a unique account with suitable password
for your test environment, you must configure the
<literal>rabbit_userid</literal> and
<literal>rabbit_password</literal> keys in the configuration file
of each OpenStack service that uses the message broker.</para>
