Managing broker passwords

Note

The broker is at the Preview stage.

To start exchanging messages between broker clients, you must log in. This section describes how to manage broker passwords for the relevant authorization method.

Note

When using an X.509 certificate along with a password, the password has higher priority.

Adding a password to a broker

You can add a password to an existing broker or set it when creating a broker using the --password parameter.

Note

You can also set a password from the input stream. To do this, use the --read-password flag instead of the --password parameter.
