NAME¶
zmq_plain - clear-text authentication
SYNOPSIS¶
The PLAIN mechanism defines a simple username/password mechanism that lets a
server authenticate a client. PLAIN makes no attempt at security or
confidentiality. It is intended for use on internal networks where security
requirements are low. The PLAIN mechanism is defined by this document:
http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:24.
USAGE¶
To use PLAIN, the server shall set the ZMQ_PLAIN_SERVER option, and the client
shall set the ZMQ_PLAIN_USERNAME and ZMQ_PLAIN_PASSWORD socket options. Which
peer binds, and which connects, is not relevant.
