Rabbit MQ

RabbitMQ is a message broker: it accepts and forwards messages. It accepts, stores and forwards binary blobs of data - messages.

RabbitMQ is lightweight and easy to deploy on premises and in the cloud. It supports multiple messaging protocols. RabbitMQ can be deployed in distributed and federated configurations to meet high-scale, high-availability requirements.

RabbitMQ Configuration

https://www.rabbitmq.com/configure.html#customise-windows-environment

Default user

The broker creates a user guest with password guest. Unconfigured clients will in general use these credentials. By default, these credentials can only be used when connecting to the broker as localhost so you will need to take action before connecting from any other machine.
