Hi,
     I want to know, how to implement authentication and authorization for RabbitMQ MQTT broker? Is there any standard functionality provided by RabbitMQ for MQTT? If no then how to implement the same. As in most of the cases, it is must to have authentication and authorization. because without this, no real IOT or any other applications can sustain.

Thanks,
Paul

Have you familiarised yourself with http://www.rabbitmq.com/mqtt.html?
In fact, in RabbitMQ authentication (credentials) are *mandatory* but they aren't in MQTT,
so RabbitMQ has to have a default user configured for MQTT to allow anonymous MQTT connections.

Anonymous connections can be disabled, see http://www.rabbitmq.com/mqtt.html.

There are no provisions for authorisation in the MQTT spec.

RabbitMQ has an AMQP 0-9-1-centric permissions model:

We plan on adding topic-based authorisation in a future release.
