add user&password

[Alexander Muller]

Hi,

I'm using Mosquitto 1.4.5 (and Node-RED) on a RPi and wanted to create a user+password every client in Node-RED has to use to get information from the broker.

I added the "allow_anonymous false" line in my mosquitto.conf and created the passwd file by using "sudo mosquitto_passwd -c /etc/mosquitto/passwd usernameHere (then entered a valid password).

The user and password are still not required to get information. What am I missing?


Thanks in advance!

Hi Alexander,

This would have been better asked on the mosquitto mailing list.

My guess would be that either you've not configured the password file
in the mosquitto config, and/or you've not restarted the broker
afterwards.

Cheers,

Roger

Thanks for your responds!

I did restart mosquitto afterwards.
What doesnt work is adding the path of the password file to my mosquitto.conf.

When I added the line

password_file file-path-here

to the mosquitto.conf my broker doesnt work anymore ("failed to connect broker...").

when you use password_file file-path-here, you need to run at secure mode(port 8883)
