Does HiveMQ Cloud support multiple authentication methods at a time?

Does HiveMQ Cloud supports multiple authentication methods at a time? If yes, which version supports both user based authentication and certificate-based authentication?

In my application, some services need to authenticate using certificates, while others require authentication via username and password. How can I configure this setup in HiveMQ cloud?

Hi @Bhavin2701

Welcome aboard to the HiveMQ Community! It’s fantastic that you’re interested in MQTT and the HiveMQ broker. We’re thrilled to have you as part of our community.

Unfortunately, HiveMQ Cloud Serverless only supports one authentication method at a time, specifically username and password. The Starter plan allows for three authentication methods, but only one can be used at a time as well. For more flexibility, both the Professional and Enterprise plans support multiple authentication methods, enabling you to configure different setups, such as using a different method for different port numbers. For pricing details, please use contact form this link.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
