MOSQUITTO_PASSWD(1) Commands MOSQUITTO_PASSWD(1)NAMEmosquitto_passwd - manage password files for mosquitto
SYNOPSISmosquitto_passwd [-c | -D] passwordfile username
mosquitto_passwd-U passwordfile
DESCRIPTIONmosquitto_passwd is a tool for managing password files the the
mosquitto MQTT broker.
Usernames must not contain ":". Passwords are stored in a similar
format to crypt(3).
OPTIONS-c
Create a new password file. If the file already exists, it will be
overwritten.
-D
Delete the specified user from the password file.
-U
This option can be used to upgrade/convert a password file with
plain text passwords into one using hashed passwords. It will
modify the specified file. It does not detect whether passwords are
already hashed, so using it on a password file that already
contains hashed passwords will generate new hashes based on the old
hashes and render the password file unusable.
passwordfile
The password file to modify.
username
The username to add/update/delete.
EXAMPLES
Add a user to a new password file:
· mosquitto_passwd-c /etc/mosquitto/passwd ral
Delete a user from a password file
· mosquitto_passwd-D /etc/mosquitto/passwd ral
