mosquitto_passwd (1)

mosquitto_passwd [-c | -D] passwordfile username mosquitto_passwd -U passwordfile

mosquitto_passwd is a tool for managing password files the the mosquitto MQTT broker.

Usernames must not contain ":". Passwords are stored in a similar format to crypt(3).

-c

Create a new password file. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten.

-D

Delete the specified user from the password file.

-U

This option can be used to upgrade/convert a password file with plain text passwords into one using hashed passwords. It will modify the specified file. It does not detect whether passwords are already hashed, so using it on a password file that already contains hashed passwords will generate new hashes based on the old hashes and render the password file unusable.

passwordfile

The password file to modify.

username

The username to add/update/delete.

Add a user to a new password file:

mosquitto_passwd -c /etc/mosquitto/passwd ral

Delete a user from a password file

mosquitto_passwd -D /etc/mosquitto/passwd ral
