I'm following this tutorial to configure mosquitto.
This means that I'm storing my local configuration in /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/default.conf. However, I've just now realized that I can put any password/username and it will access mosquitto meaning my config file isn't taken into account. I've just now discovered the /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf and its content can be seen below:
# Place your local configuration in /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/
#
# A full description of the configuration file is at
# /usr/share/doc/mosquitto/examples/mosquitto.conf.example
pid_file /var/run/mosquitto.pid
persistence true
persistence_location /var/lib/mosquitto/
log_dest file /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log
include_dir /etc/mosquitto/conf.d
The contents of my configuration file that I want to use /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/default.conf can be seen below.
allow_anonymous false
password_file /etc/mosquitto/passwd
listener 1883
listener 8883
certfile /etc/letsencrypt/live/20.56.xxx.xxx/cert.pem
cafile /etc/letsencrypt/live/20.56.xxx.xxx/chain.pem
keyfile /etc/letsencrypt/live/20.56.xxx.xxx/privkey.pem
Using the command sudo pkill mosquitto and then sudo mosquitto -c /etc/mosquitto/conf.d -d I stopped mosquitto and restarted it in the background running the new configuration file. When I first ran it (using the /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/default.conf shown above), I got the Error: Connection Refused. I then modified the /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/default.conf file, killed mosquitto and ran it again using the same techinque. The new config file can be seen below.
allow_anonymous false
password_file /etc/mosquitto/passwd
listener 1883
For this version, the password and username protection works!!
Here are the logs for those operations
