Currently the artemis operator uses jmx and cluster connections with plain credentials. these are uses for admin and for moving messages, jobs of the control plane.

If a user wants to own auth, or if auth is delegated. The operator credentials need to be managed by the user. this is bad news.

The operator should use a service account credential to authencicate to the broker, possibly only through a read only view of the jolokia agent... and for inter broker comms (cluster or federation) use mTLS with a service account.
