Purpose
The HiveMQ Enterprise Security Extension makes it possible to integrate existing enterprise security systems into your HiveMQ device authentication and authorization workflow. The extension makes it possible to provide a single source of truth for device authentication and authorization information across multiple HiveMQ brokers operating in a cluster and provides a single source of management for the security information.
HiveMQ Enterprise Security Extensions includes the following capabilities:
- Integration with third party enterprise security systems. Release 1.3 includes support for username/password and roles/permissions stored in a SQL database. Current databases supported: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Azure SQL, and Amazon Aurora
- Allow for fine-grained authorization rules that can specify permissions for specific clients or a group of clients.
- A structured access log for tracking security related device information.
- Access control for the HiveMQ Control Center
