Gets or sets the connection string of the RabbitMQ server to connect to.

## DisableAutoActivation

- Name: `DisableAutoActivation`
- Modifiers: `get; set`
- Returns: `bool`
- Source: [GitHub](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire/blob/cbc352350f1a9bafbaff10d14a2c8de4ac186a48/src/Components/Aspire.RabbitMQ.Client/RabbitMQClientSettings.cs)
