Interface EnhancedAuthenticator

public interface EnhancedAuthenticator

Interface for the enhanced authentication of MQTT clients.

Enhanced authentication can use AUTH packets (introduced in MQTT 5) to implement:

• challenge/response style authentication and
• re-authentication

Enhanced authentication has two life cycles:

• When a client connects
  1. onConnect(EnhancedAuthConnectInput, EnhancedAuthOutput)
  2. (onAuth(EnhancedAuthInput, EnhancedAuthOutput))*
• When a client triggers re-authentication
  1. onReAuth(EnhancedAuthInput, EnhancedAuthOutput)
  2. (onAuth(EnhancedAuthInput, EnhancedAuthOutput))*

An EnhancedAuthenticator can be provided by an EnhancedAuthenticatorProvider. The provider is only called once per client connection, enabling the EnhancedAuthenticator to store state between the initial authentication and later re-authentication(s).

If an implementation stores state, an object of the implementation can not be shared by different clients. If no state is stored, the implementation has to be thread safe if it is shared by different clients.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	onAuth(@NotNull EnhancedAuthInput enhancedAuthInput, @NotNull EnhancedAuthOutput enhancedAuthOutput)	This method is called when the MQTT client (that has to be authenticated) sent an AUTH packet.
void	onConnect(@NotNull EnhancedAuthConnectInput enhancedAuthConnectInput, @NotNull EnhancedAuthOutput enhancedAuthOutput)	This method is called when the MQTT client (that has to be authenticated) sent the CONNECT packet.
default void	onReAuth(@NotNull EnhancedAuthInput enhancedAuthInput, @NotNull EnhancedAuthOutput enhancedAuthOutput)	This method is called when the MQTT client (that has to be authenticated) sent an AUTH packet with reason code REAUTHENTICATE.
