    • Method Detail

      • getAuthenticator

        @Nullable Authenticator getAuthenticator​(@NotNull AuthenticatorProviderInput authenticatorProviderInput)
        This method is called for each client by HiveMQ.

        Either the same Authenticator (stateless or must be thread-safe) or a new one (stateful, must not be thread-safe) can be supplied on each call.

        null can be returned if no authentication for the client is necessary.

        Returns:
        An implementation of SimpleAuthenticator. null is ignored and has the same effect as if this provider would had not been set for the connecting client. Returning any other implementation of the Authenticator interface is an error.
