By Default Flexnet Operation will create a connection to RabbitMQ which will be used to manage messaging between FlexNet Operations components.
When we check the nocontext.log or ADMN-notification.log we can see the following message if the connection is created successfully

For example, the First connection is created for Transactional connection and the second one is created for Flexnet Operations to manage messaging.
Protocol used: AMQP 0-9-1
AMQP 0-9-1 has a model that includes connections and channels. Channels allow for connection multiplexing (having multiple logical connections on a "physical" or TCP one).
The maximum number of channels that can be open on a connection simultaneously is negotiated by client and server at connection time. The client cannot be configured to allow for more channels than the server configured maximum.
After successfully opening a connection and authenticating, applications open one or more channels and use them to perform protocol operations, e.g. define topology, consume and publish messages.
AMQP 0-9-1 supports different authentication mechanisms. While it's most common for applications to provide a pair of credentials, x509 certificates and PKI can be used instead.
