Database Management

MySQL

Create Example Table

CREATE TABLE `mqtt_authz` (
  `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `ipaddress` VARCHAR(60) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `username` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `clientid` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `action` ENUM('publish', 'subscribe', 'all') NOT NULL,
  `permission` ENUM('allow', 'deny') NOT NULL,
  `topic` VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;

Sample data in the default configuration:

-- Only 127.0.0.1 users can subscribe to system topics
INSERT INTO mqtt_authz (ipaddress, username, clientid, action, permission, topic) VALUES ('127.0.0.1', '', '', 'subscribe', 'allow', '$SYS/#');

PostgreSQL

Create Example Table

CREATE TYPE ACTION AS ENUM('publish','subscribe','all');
CREATE TYPE PERMISSION AS ENUM('allow','deny');

CREATE TABLE mqtt_authz (
  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  ipaddress CHARACTER VARYING(60) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  username CHARACTER VARYING(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  clientid CHARACTER VARYING(100) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  action ACTION,
  permission PERMISSION,
  topic CHARACTER VARYING(100) NOT NULL
);

Sample data in the default configuration:

-- Only 127.0.0.1 users can subscribe to system topics
INSERT INTO mqtt_authz (ipaddress, username, clientid, action, permission, topic) VALUES ('127.0.0.1', '', '', 'subscribe', 'allow', '$SYS/#');

Redis

Sample data in the default configuration:

HSET mqtt_authz:emqx '$SYS/#' subscribe

A rule of Redis AuthZ defines publish, subscribe, or allinformation. All lists in the rule are allow lists.

MongoDB

Create Example BSON documents

db.inventory.insertOne(
    {username: "emqx",
     clientid: "emqx",
     ipaddress: "127.0.0.1",
     permission: "allow",
     action: "all",
     topics: ["#"]
    })
