This is used by backends dependent on Memcached.If dogpile.cache.memcached or oslo_cache.memcache_pool is used and a given host refer to an IPv6 or a given domain refer to IPv6 then you should prefix the given address withthe address family (inet6) (e.g inet6[::1]:11211, inet6:[fd12:3456:789a:1::1]:11211, inet6:[controller-0.internalapi]:11211).

service_token_roles
Type

list

Default

['service']

A choice of roles that must be present in a service token. Service tokens are allowed to request that an expired token can be used and so this check should tightly control that only actual services should be sending this token. Roles here are applied as an ANY check so any role in this list must be present. For backwards compatibility reasons this currently only affects the allow_expired check.

It is available as of RabbitMQ 3.8.0. If set this option will conflict with the HA queues (rabbit_ha_queues) aka mirrored queues, in other words the HA queues should be disabled, quorum queues durable by default so the amqp_durable_queues opion is ignored when this option enabled.

enforce_new_defaults
Type

boolean

Default

False

This option controls whether or not to use old deprecated defaults when evaluating policies. If True, the old deprecated defaults are not going to be evaluated. This means if any existing token is allowed for old defaults but is disallowed for new defaults, it will be disallowed. It is encouraged to enable this flag along with the enforce_scope flag so that you can get the benefits of new defaults and scope_type together. If False, the deprecated policy check string is logically OR’d with the new policy check string, allowing for a graceful upgrade experience between releases with new policies, which is the default behavior.

Both “enabled” flag and “hmac_keys” config options should be set to enable profiling.
