Descripción
### problem
If we follow the documented RabbitMQ credential encryption feature, literally copy paste the configuration from https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.22.0.0/adminguide/events.html , the encrypted credentials are not being decrypted and RabbitMQ connection is not established. Instead the error messages are thrown to the management server log about missing classes.
Upon further analysis it seems the jasypt library is incompatible with Spring 5+. There is a https://github.com/jasypt/jasypt/issues/25 and/or https://github.com/jasypt/jasypt/issues/35 . And so this is most probably the root cause as the class fails to load on Spring 5 which CloudStack is using.
### versions
CloudStack 4.22.1.0 and also 4.22.0.1, Standard management server install, Ubuntu
### The steps to reproduce the bug
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Follow the AMQP configuration documentation at https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.22.0.0/adminguide/events.html
2. Add the documented Jasypt bean configuration to spring-event-bus-context.xml
3. Restart cloudstack-management
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
Encrypted credentials are decrypted and RabbitMQ connection is established.
ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR:
```
Error creating bean with name 'org.apache.cloudstack.spring.lifecycle.ConfigDepotLifeCycle#0': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'configDepotAdmin'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class [org.jasypt.spring3.properties.EncryptablePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer] for bean with name 'propertyConfigurer' defined in file [/etc/cloudstack/management/META-INF/cloudstack/event/spring-event-bus-context.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jasypt.spring3.properties.EncryptablePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer

```
### What to do about it?
Replace the implementation with a Spring 5-compatible alternative
and/or document a supported workaround. Also, there is second issue with the PBEWithMD5AndDES is no longer considered secure, so the solution shall be future proof.
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Comienza revisando el pull request abierto #13676 y la configuración AMQP documentada en events.html. Inspecciona spring-event-bus-context.xml y la excepción de management-server.log para rastrear la clase Jasypt que falta. Se considera completado cuando las credenciales cifradas de RabbitMQ documentadas funcionan con una configuración compatible con Spring 5 y se documenta un reemplazo seguro o un workaround compatible.
