RUTX14 MQTT Password File - How To Create

[cameracontroluk]

Hello. I have the MQTT Broker running on my RUTX14 without any security and allowing anonymous access.
Would like to enable a username and password, the Teltonika GUI asks to browse to a password file.
Does anyone know how to create a password file?

Hello,

Apologies for the delayed response.

You can use Mosquitto’s mosquitto_passwd tool to create a file with usernames and passwords. For examples, refer to these links:

• Mosquitto Password Documentation
• MQTT Username/Password Example

On a Linux machine, you can create the file using these commands:

echo "admin:admin01" > /tmp/password_file.txt
mosquitto_passwd -U /tmp/password_file.txt

Afterward, upload the file via the RUTX WebUI.

For more information, you can refer to the links above.

Hope this helps!

Kind Regards,
