Username & Password Authentication

[Henrik]

Hi!

I can't figure out how to enable username & password authentication.

In other words I don't know in what format to put the username and password in the .config file.

Let's say I want username = "test" and password = "test"

How to put this in the config file?

%% Authentication with username, password

            {username, []}

Thanks!

Turns out I just didn't read the documentation well enough!

I write a short "How to" if someone else is stupid enough to miss it like I did! :)

To enable username and password authentication simply uncomment %{username, []} (remove the %) in emqttd.config.
Then use emqttd_ctl to add or remove users as described in the documentation (https://github.com/emqtt/emqttd/wiki/Authentication):

load user with './bin/emqttd_ctl'

Load user with './bin/emqttd_ctl users' command.

./bin/emqttd_ctl users add <Username> <Password>

Thanks for a great broker!

Hi

I am new here. I am using EMQX 3.2.4.  I could not find this emqttd. Neither is there any possibility for me to download and install it. I am using CentOS 7.

could you perhaps guide me about how to add a user for basic authentication ?. 

I tried adding a user via the dashboard.. unfortunately that did not work from my MQTT client.

Only thing that works is anonymous and SSL with certificates. I need to use Basic authentication.

Any help would be appreciated

kind regards
