mosquitto_passwd [-c | -D]

mosquitto_passwd -U passwordfile
DESCRIPTION¶
mosquitto_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¶
-cCreate 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
