Resolution

Backup /etc/rabbitmq/rsa_enabled_plugins to any directory
Review  /etc/rabbitmq/rsa_enabled_plugins, you should the lines below.

[root@PSBDC-RSA-DEC rabbitmq]# cat /etc/rabbitmq/rsa_enabled_plugins 
[nw_admin,rabbitmq_auth_mechanism_ssl,rabbitmq_federation,rabbitmq_federation_management,rabbitmq_management,rabbitmq_stomp]

Edit /etc/rabbitmq/rsa_enabled_plugins and remove nw_admin.
