# Plugins
|
|
|
|
This directory contains plugins for use with Mosquitto.
|
|
|
|
## Dynamic security
|
|
This is a fully functioning plugin that implements authentication and access
|
|
control, with configuration via a $CONTROL topic. See the readme in
|
|
dynamic-security for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Message timestamp
|
|
This is an **example** plugin to demonstrate how it is possible to attach MQTT v5 properties to messages after they have been received, and before they are sent on to subscribers.
|
|
|
|
This plugin attaches a user-property property to each message which contains the ISO-8601 timestamp of the time the message was received by the broker. This means it is possible for MQTT v5 clients to see how old a retained message is, for example.
|
|
|
|
## Payload modification
|
|
This is an **example** plugin to demonstrate how it is possible to modify the payload of messages after they have been received, and before they are sent on to subscribers.
|
|
|
|
If you are considering using this feature, you should be very certain you have verified the payload is the correct format before modifying it.
|
|
|
|
This plugin adds the text string "hello " to the beginning of each payload, so with anything other than simple plain text messages it will corrupt the payload contents.
|
|
|
|
## Authenticate by IP address
|
|
This is an **example** plugin that demonstrates a basic authentication callback that allows clients based on their IP address. Password based authentication is preferred over this very simple type of access control.
