RabbitMQ CLI tools
Error Message:
CLI tool fails to authenticate with the server (e.g. due to CLI tool's Erlang cookie not matching that of the server)
Solution from here
Ensure cookies are synchronized across 1, 2 and Optionally 3 below
- 
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\.erlang.cookie(usuallyC:\Users\%USERNAME%\.erlang.cookiefor user%USERNAME%) if both theHOMEDRIVEandHOMEPATHenvironment variables are set
- 
%USERPROFILE%\.erlang.cookie(usuallyC:\Users\%USERNAME%\.erlang.cookie) ifHOMEDRIVEandHOMEPATHare not both set
- 
For the RabbitMQ Windows service - %USERPROFILE%\.erlang.cookie(usuallyC:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile)
