Description

If a SimpleAuthenticationPlugin is defined in the configuration without any users element, then when a client which does supply a username attempts to connect an NPE occurs in the broker.

E.g, defining broker config as:

<simpleAuthenticationPlugin anonymousAccessAllowed="true" />

And trying to log in, results in:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.apache.activemq.security.SimpleAuthenticationBroker.addConnection(SimpleAuthenticationBroker.java:83)
