[mosquitto-dev] Authentication and access control - opinions wanted

[Roger Light <roger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I've started writing up some of the proposed changes for the
authentication plugin. One change that has already been committed is
the possibility of using multiple plugins as described in this bug
report: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=464543

Other changes that I'd welcome any input on are on the wiki:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Mosquitto/AuthenticationReview This is still
a work in progress (I've not written up the authentication check
changes for example), but I thought I'd get the ball rolling. Please
take a look and if you have any opinions any of that or on what you
think the authentication/access control plugin ought to have access
to, please post here.

If you've written your own authentication plugin, it's definitely
worth your while taking a look because there will certainly be
breaking changes, even if not exactly as on that page.

Cheers,

Roger
