Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Updated: (MQTT-77) Should the Connect packet User Name and Password fields be binary rather than UTF-8
[ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/MQTT-77?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Richard Coppen updated MQTT-77:
-------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 3.1.1
Proposal:
>> As per current working draft << The User Name field MUST contain a UTF8 encoded string.
>> Change spec to allow binary data in the password field << The Password field contains 0 to 65535 bytes of binary data prefixed with a 2 byte length field which indicates the number of bytes used.
> Should the Connect packet User Name and Password fields be binary rather than UTF-8
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MQTT-77
> URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/MQTT-77
> Project: OASIS Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) TC
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.1.1
> Reporter: Andrew Banks
> Fix For: 3.1.1
>
>
> The WD10 draft says :
> 3.1.3.4 User Name
> If the User Name Flag is set to 1, this is the next field in the payload. User Name is a UTF-8 encoded string and can be used by the server for authentication, and authorization.
> 3.1.3.5 Password
> If the Password Flag is set to 1, this is the next field in the payload.,Password is a UTF-8 encoded string and can be used by the server for authentication of the client
> This allows implementer s to display these fields on admin screens but prevents them from being from carrying binary tokens.
> We don't need to change the wire format to encode this if the binary field is prefixed with a 2 byte length.
