Re: [mosquitto-dev] Accessing the client id when validating a username / password
I've modified mosquitto to have the clientId passed in the auth callback.

But mosquitto 1.4 has an option that may help:

use_username_as_clientid [ true | false ]
Set use_username_as_clientid to true to replace the clientid that a client connected with with its username. This allows authentication to be tied to the clientid, which means that it is possible to prevent one client disconnecting another by using the same clientid. Defaults to false.
If a client connects with no username it will be disconnected as not authorised when this option is set to true. Do not use in conjunction with clientid_prefixes.
See also use_identity_as_username.
Not reloaded on reload signal.

Thanks. I've used that before. The problem I'm having is that (as far as I can see) the clientID is not passed to the auth_plugin at connect time, but maybe I'm missing something.

Hi Paul,

  We wrote our own plugin, but there is a rich one that may fit to your needs here:  https://github.com/jpmens/mosquitto-auth-plug

I'd like to write a security/auth pluging that can access the client id of the client when the username/password is validated on connect. Is that possible?
