MQTT Gateway

Build Status

MQTT Gateway is a VerneMQ plugin with token based (OAuth2 Bearer Token) authentication. Authorization for publish/subscribe operations is based conventions and dynamic rules.

Overview

Authentication

Name Type Default Description
MQTT_CLIENT_ID String required ${AGENT_LABEL}.${ACCOUNT_LABEL}.${AUDIENCE}
MQTT_PASSWORD String required JSON Web Token. Token is required if auhentification is enabled.
MQTT_USERNAME String optional The value is ignored

How To Use

To build and start playing with the application, execute following shell commands within different terminal tabs:

## To build container locally
docker build -t netology-group/mqtt-gateway -f docker/Dockerfile .
## Running a container with VerneMQ and the plugin
docker run -ti --rm \
    -e APP_AUTHN_ENABLED=0 \
    -e APP_AUTHZ_ENABLED=0 \
    -e APP_DYNSUB_ENABLED=0 \
    -e APP_STAT_ENABLED=0 \
    -e APP_RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=0 \
    -e APP_ACCOUNT_ID=mqtt-gateway.svc.example.org \
    -e APP_AGENT_LABEL=alpha \
    -p 1883:1883 \
    netology-group/mqtt-gateway

## Subscribing to messages
mosquitto_sub \
    -i 'test-sub.john-doe.usr.example.net' \
    -u 'v2::default' \
    -t 'foo' | jq '.'

## Publishing a message
mosquitto_pub -V 5 \
    -i 'test-pub.john-doe.usr.example.net' \
    -t 'foo' \
    -D connect user-property 'connection_version' 'v2' \
    -D connect user-property 'connection_mode' 'default' \
    -D publish user-property 'label' 'ping' \
    -D publish user-property 'local_timestamp' "$(date +%s000)" \
    -m '{}'

Authentication using Json Web Tokens

## Authnentication should be enabled in 'App.toml'
docker run -ti --rm \
    -v "$(pwd)/App.toml.sample:/app/App.toml" \
    -v "$(pwd)/data/keys/iam.public_key.pem.sample:/app/data/keys/iam.public_key.pem.sample" \
    -v "$(pwd)/data/keys/svc.public_key.pem.sample:/app/data/keys/svc.public_key.pem.sample" \
    -e APP_CONFIG='/app/App.toml' \
    -p 1883:1883 \

    -e APP_AGENT_LABEL=alpha \
    -p 1883:1883 \
    netology-group/mqtt-gateway

## Subscribing to the topic of user's incoming messages
USER='john.usr.example.net' \
APP='app.svc.example.org' \
    && mosquitto_sub \
        -i "test.${USER}" \
        -t "agents/test.${USER}/api/v1/in/${APP}" \
        -u 'v2::default' \
        | jq '.'

## Subscribing to the topic of app's incoming responses
OBSERVER='devops.svc.example.org' \
APP='app.svc.example.org' \
    && mosquitto_sub \
        -i "test-1.${OBSERVER}" \
        -t "agents/alpha.${APP}/api/v1/in/+" \
        -D connect user-property 'connection_version' 'v2' \

APP='app.svc.example.org' \
    && mosquitto_sub \
        -i "test-2.${OBSERVER}" \
        -t "agents/+/api/v1/out/${APP}" \
        -D connect user-property 'connection_version' 'v2' \
        -D connect user-property 'connection_mode' 'observer' \
        | jq '.'

## Subscribing to the topic of broker's incoming multicast requests
OBSERVER='devops.svc.example.org' \
BROKER='mqtt-gateway.svc.example.org' \
    && mosquitto_sub \
        -i "test-3.${OBSERVER}" \
        -t "agents/+/api/v1/out/${BROKER}" \
        -D connect user-property 'connection_version' 'v2' \
        -D connect user-property 'connection_mode' 'observer' \
        | jq '.'

## Creating a dynamic subscription
APP='app.svc.example.org' \
USER='john.usr.example.net' \
BROKER='mqtt-gateway.svc.example.org' \
    && mosquitto_pub -V 5 \
        -i "test.${APP}" \
        -t "agents/test.${APP}/api/v1/out/${BROKER}" \
        -D connect user-property 'connection_version' 'v2' \
        -D connect user-property 'connection_mode' 'service' \
        -D publish user-property 'type' 'request' \
        -D publish user-property 'method' 'subscription.create' \
        -D publish response-topic "agents/alpha.${APP}/api/v1/in/${BROKER}" \
        -D publish correlation-data 'foobar' \
        -m "{\"object\": [\"rooms\", \"ROOM_ID\", \"events\"], \"subject\": \"test.${USER}\"}"

## Publishing an event
APP='app.svc.example.org' \
    && mosquitto_pub -V 5 \
        -i "test.${APP}" \
        -t "apps/${APP}/api/v1/rooms/ROOM_ID/events" \
        -D connect user-property 'connection_version' 'v2' \
        -D connect user-property 'connection_mode' 'service' \
        -D publish user-property 'type' 'event' \
        -D publish user-property 'label' 'room.create' \
        -m '{}'

## Deleting the dynamic subscription
APP='app.svc.example.org' \
USER='john.usr.example.net' \
BROKER='mqtt-gateway.svc.example.org' \
    && mosquitto_pub -V 5 \
        -i "test.${APP}" \
        -t "agents/test.${APP}/api/v1/out/${BROKER}" \
        -D connect user-property 'connection_version' 'v2' \
        -D connect user-property 'connection_mode' 'service' \
        -D publish user-property 'type' 'request' \
        -D publish user-property 'method' 'subscription.delete' \
        -D publish response-topic "agents/test.${USER}/api/v1/in/${APP}" \
        -D publish correlation-data 'foobar' \
        -m "{\"object\": [\"rooms\", \"ROOM_ID\", \"events\"], \"subject\": \"test.${USER}\"}"
%% We can verify that the subscription was created from the VerneMQ terminal
mqttgw_dynsub:list(<<"test.john.usr.example.net">>).

%% [{[<<"apps">>,<<"app.svc.example.org">>,<<"api">>,<<"v1">>,
%%    <<"rooms">>,<<"ROOM_ID">>,<<"events">>],
%%   #{app => <<"app.svc.example.org">>,
%%     object => [<<"rooms">>,<<"ROOM_ID">>,<<"events">>],
%%     version => <<"v1">>}}]

Troubleshooting

MQTT Gateway should be built using the same release version of Erlang/OTP as VerneMQ.
