Re: [mosquitto-dev] Authentication failure
|
Just to be clear.
You are creating a password file in the following format
username:password
Where `password` is the clear text version of the password?
If so this will be the problem. The password file needs to be generated
with the `mosquitto_passwd` file and should be of the following format
username:hashed_password.
You can do this with the mosquitto_passwd comand as follows
mosquitto_passed -b /etc/mosquitto/passwd usename password
The following is from the mosquitto.conf man page
Set the path to a password file. If defined, the contents of the file are used to control client access to the broker. The file can be created using the mosquitto_passwd(1) utility. If mosquitto is compiled without TLS support (it is recommended that TLS support is included), then the password file should be a text file with each line in the format "username:password", where the colon and password are optional but recommended
Note the second sentence is for is mosquitto is compiled **without**
TLS, the build in the container includes TLS support.
If this is not the case please give a lot more details about how the
password file is being generated and your mosquitto.conf (and any
additional file in the conf.d directory)

I ran
chown mosquitto:mosquitto /etc/mosquitto/passwd
After creating the passwd file, that should take care of file access. It
also can write to the file because it's generating the auto password
through your utility.
I have tried a simplified password and that did not work either.

Is the mosquitto service actually running?
As of mosquitto version 2.0.18 (at least), the passwd file requires read
access for the ‘mosquitto’ user that is created when installing the
software. Otherwise starting the mosquitto service fails. This is
documented, but is easy to overlook.

I am using tteks script to install mqtt as a docker LXC.
Install went fine, created the passwd file, which generated:
<username>:<auto generated password>
I am getting an authorization error when using the username or
password in that file.
conf.d does point to that file. allow_anonymous is set to false. If I
change it to true and comment out my password/username I everything
works as expected.
I'm failing in Z2MQTT and Home Assistant.
