Hi there

When i read on https://www.hivemq.com/extension/file-rbac-extension/ , i read that we need a special plugin for username / password auth: https://www.hivemq.com/extension/file-rbac-extension/

So: Is there no natively supported authentication available on HiveMQ CE?

Thank you for your feedbacks.

With best regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

Nice to see your interest in HiveMQ.
Not sure, if I understand your questions.
Yes, HiveMQ supports authentication and authorization natively - by providing a free and official extension.

If you do not add an authentication extensions (you can use the one we provide or write your own using our Extension SDK), HiveMQ does not support authentication.

Kind regards,
Florian from the HiveMQ Team
