Using mosquitto native acl file along with an auth plug-in

Question

I have written an authentication module for mosquitto using the plug-in system. Now once the plug-in is set from the configurations I suppose it calls the mosquitto_auth_acl_check for acl authorization.

If I am to use inbuilt acl_file option along with the auth_plugin option(just for connect authentication), would it be possible?

Or am I supposed to implement the whole thing in my plug-in itself.

Answer 1

Current versions of mosquitto - 1.4.x and earlier - only allow the built in authentication and access control OR a plugin to be used at once. That means that what you want isn't possible.

Version 1.5 will allow multiple plugins, including the built in support.
