there aren't any active / ongoing plans for this, but would definitely want it!

we are open for contribution 😀

Thank you for your response. We would like to investigate the feature further and explore the possibility of contributing to its development.

Once #845 is merged, would love to see design suggestions for the interface with user. Hopefully with the implementation as well.

Hi @de-sh, it's great to see progress being made on Auth packet support. I'd love to contribute to the design and implementation of the user interface. While testing enhanced authentication with EMQX, I encountered issues passing authentication successfully. I'm curious if you have any recommended MQTT broker for testing enhanced authentication.

Can you elaborate on this? Would be helpful if we have code to debug this with.

No recommendations, I believe even rumqttd doesn't support the auth packet as of right now. Might be a good first issue for sometime @swanandx

I wrote some experimental code to connect with the EMQX broker using enhanced authentication. However, the broker responded with a ConAck indicating "Not Authorized." I have already filed an issue regarding this matter. Please review the details here: emqx/emqx#12860

Hi @swanandx @de-sh , I have created an initial version of the user interface design for enhanced authentication. You can find it in the attached document:
RumqttcEnhancedAuhtenticationInterfaceDesign.md

Aside from user interface design, I've also included some example code for enhanced authentication testing that I've implemented in my local branch.

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @swanandx @de-sh, I've created a draft pull request for the feature support. Please take a moment to review it when you have a chance. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

thanks for the PR @ting-ms ! really appreciate the work.

but currently I don't have bandwidth for this, so might get delayed. thanks for understanding!

Hi @swanandx @de-sh , I hope you're doing well. Any updates on the PR review? If there's anything I can do about the PR, please let me know. Thank you!

@ting-ms as mentioned by @swanandx we are low on bandwidth and can't promise when the PRs will be reviewed. I will try my best to get in some time to review your changes by the weekend.

@de-sh Thank you for the update.

Hi @de-sh, I apologize for asking again, but my team is waiting on this feature. Could you provide an estimated time for when the PR will be reviewed and merged? Thanks!
