To locate your Access Management options, go to Your Clusters and select Manage Cluster for the desired cluster.
On the Cluster Details page that opens, switch to the Access Management tab.
Security Configuration - HiveMQ Starter Plan
HiveMQ Cloud provides advanced authentication and authorization mechanisms that help you safeguard your data, prevent unauthorized access, and maintain the overall security and integrity of your application.
The security configuration for your HiveMQ Starter plan cluster is divided into two sections:
-
Authentication: Defines the method HiveMQ Cloud uses to verifiy the identity of MQTT clients that connect to your HiveMQ Cloud broker. Authentication prevents unauthorized access and ensures that only trusted clients can perform actions on your cluster.
-
Authorization: Defines which actions an MQTT client is allowed to perform on your cluster. Authorization can be split into the concepts of roles and permissions.
Authentication Options - HiveMQ Cloud Starter Plan
To connect an MQTT client to your cluster, you need to define the authentication method that allows the client to access the cluster.
The HiveMQ Cloud Starter plan offers three ways to ensure that only authorized devices can connect to your MQTT broker:
Only clients that present a known access credential, client certificate, or JSON Web Token are allowed to connect and perform actions on the selected cluster. You can choose the authentication method that fits your individual business needs.
Currently, you can only implement one authentication method at a time. It is not possible to use multiple methods simultaneously. |
Authentication with Access Credentials - HiveMQ Cloud Starter Plan
HiveMQ Cloud access credentials contain a username-password pair.
Authentication with access credentials is the default authentication method in HiveMQ Cloud.
When this authentication method is active, MQTT clients must present access credentials that you have defined to connect to your HiveMQ Cloud MQTT broker.
In HiveMQ Starter plan and above, permissions are tied to roles. When you assign one or more roles to an access credential, clients that connect to your cluster with the access credential can perform all activities that the permissions associated with the roles allow. For more information, see Role Based Access Control. |
You can add and delete access credentials for your HiveMQ Cloud clusters as needed to fulfil your business needs.
For more information, see Access Credentials.
When you remove access credentials, clients that are currently connected with the credentials remain connected. During the next reconnect, the clients will no longer be able to connect to the cluster with the old credentials. |
To create an MQTT credential, select Edit in the Access Credentials area of your Security Configuration.
-
In the expanded Access Credentials area, enter a Username and Password.
-
To set the level of access and permissions the Access Credentials provide, assign a role from the Role drop down list.
-
To add the access credential, select Save.
HiveMQ Cloud _Starter_plan and above support Role Based Access Control (RBAC) for MQTT clients. For your convenience, the HiveMQ Starter plan provides a default Allow All role that you can use to assign permissions to your credentials. The default role includes all default permissions and several additional MQTT-specific permissions. For more information, see Default Role.
|
When you create or edit a credential, the Access Credentials area automatically adjusts to display your changes.
All currently available MQTT access credentials for the selected cluster are listed in the Access Credentials area of the Access Management page.
Authentication with Client Certificate - HiveMQ Cloud Starter Plan
HiveMQ Cloud Starter plan and above support MQTT client authentication with client certificates. In MQTT, client certificate authentication can add an extra layer of security compared to other authentication methods such as username/password.
To set up client certificate authentication, select Edit in the Client Certificate area of your Security Configuration.
-
In the expanded Client Certificate area, enter a Name for the client cetificate.
-
Drag and drop or upload your public key certificate to the Key field.
-
Assign a role from the Role drop down list to set the level of access and permissions the client certificate allows.
-
Select Save to add the client certificate.
Your public key certificate provides the root Certificate Authority (CA) and allows clients to robustly prove their identity.
You can add and remove client certificates as needed to ensure secure access.
When you change your authentication method, your previously selected authentication method is overridden. Currently connected clients can be disconnected and could need to be reconfigured. |
Authentication with JSON Web Token - HiveMQ Cloud Starter Plan
HiveMQ Cloud Starter plan and above support the use of JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication of MQTT clients. JWTs are a widely adopted standard for representing claims between parties in a secure and interoperable manner.
In the JSON Web Token section, you can provide a JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) endpoint for token validation and manage a list of claims that define the parameters of access.
To set up JSON Web Token authentication, select Edit in the JSON Web Token area of your Security Configuration.
-
In the expanded JSON Web Token area, select Add Json Web Token.
-
In the expanded JSON Web Token configuration area, enter a JWKS Endpoint .
-
In the Claims area, enter one or more Key and Value pairs.
-
Assign a role from the Role drop down list to set the level of access and permissions the JWT allows.
When you change your authentication method, your previously selected authentication method is overridden. Currently connected clients can be disconnected and could need to be reconfigured. |
Authorization Options - HiveMQ Cloud Starter Plan
The HiveMQ Cloud Starter plan uses the concepts of Permissions and Roles to give you fine-grained control over the actions MQTT clients that connect to your HiveMQ Cloud cluster can perform.
In HiveMQ Cloud Starter plan clusters, permissions are assigned to roles. For more information, see Permission Management.
To authorize an MQTT client to perform specific actions on your HiveMQ Cloud cluster, you assign the MQTT client a role that contains the desired set of permissions.
Authorization Permissions - HiveMQ Cloud Starter Plan
Permissions define what actions (publish, subscribe) an MQTT client can perform on a per MQTT topic basis. In the HiveMQ Cloud Starter plan and above, you can define and attach one or more permissions to a role.
To create a permission, select Edit in the Permissions area of your Security Configuration.
In the expanded Permissions area, select Create new permission to open the permission configuration options.
-
Enter a Name for the permission.
-
Define the MQTT Topic to which the permission applies. All valid MQTT topic filters, including wildcards (+,#) are supported.
-
Add an optional Description for the permission.
-
Use the Publish / Subscribe checkboxes to select the actions the permission authorizes.
-
Use the Quality of Service checkboxes to select the level of message delivery guarantee the permission authorizes. You can select one or more of the available QoS levels: QoS 0, QoS 1, and QoS 2.
-
Use the Advanced options checkboxes to define whether the permission authorizes retained messages and shared subscriptions.
-
Select Create Permission to save your changes and add the permission to your list of available permissions.
In HiveMQ Cloud, you can enhance your MQTT topics with dynamic variables. For more information, see Dynamic Variables in MQTT Topics. |
Dynamic Variables in MQTT Topics
HiveMQ Cloud Starter plan gives you the ability to dynamically customize your MQTT topics with variables based on your authentication method. The use of dynamic variables allows for more flexible and personalized data routing.
Authentication Method | Variables | Description |
---|---|---|
Access Credentials |
|
Apply for user-specific topics. |
JWT Claims |
|
Apply for the audience, issuer, and scope respectively. |
x509 Certificate |
|
Appy for detailed certificate identification. |
Universal |
|
Apply to all authentication methods for client identification. |
Keep in mind that MQTT special characters such as # (multi-level wildcard) and + have unique functionalities in topic filters. For more information, see MQTT Topics, Wildcards, & Best Practices.
|
Authorization Roles - HiveMQ Cloud Starter Plan
Authorization in HiveMQ Cloud Starter plan and above allows you to assign one or more roles per authentication method. Each role can include one or more permissions. You define roles to group permissions in ways that match your particular use case.
To create a role, select Edit in the Roles area of your Security Configuration.
In the expanded Roles area, select Create new role to open the role configuration options.
-
Enter a unique Name for the role.
-
Add an optional Description of the role.
-
Select one or more permissions from the list of available permissions in the Permissions field.
-
To create the defined role, select Create Role.
Each role you create is added to the list of available roles in the Role field of the Authentication configuration area.
The Permissions list automatically contains a predefined HiveMQ Cloud Allow All permission and any custom permissions you create. to add more permisisons to the list of available permissions, see Create Permissions (Starter plan and up). |
