MQTT username/password

Post by hansamann » Tue Jul 12, 2016 7:50 pm

Hi, just wanted to try the umqtt library but noticed that it does not (yet) support username/password. Can anyone comment if this is planned for the the foreseeable future? It's super important to have at least basic security, otherwise connecting it to Adafruit MQTT etc is not possible.

Thx
Sven

Thanks for the details where it's needed, added to a TODO. In the meantime however, this initial release is more targeted for in-house, cloud-free usage with an intranet MQTT broker (like Mosquitto), everything protected by WPA and consisting from your local trusted devices. Gradual support for "cloudish" usage is definitely coming, though I don't have specific ETA as already working on bunch of other stuff.
