✨ NAME ✨

zmq_plain — clear-text authentication 💅

okay so bestie, this is the 0MQ Manual page for it, and we're gonna get you fluent in like two minutes fr fr 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

So the PLAIN mechanism is literally just a simple username/password thing — it lets a server authenticate a client. That's it. That's the whole vibe.

💀 And no, it makes no attempt at security or confidentiality. Zero. None. It is NOT that girl.

It's intended for use on internal networks where security requirements are low — like, lowkey chill environments only, iykyk. 🧚

The PLAIN mechanism is defined by this document: http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:24. 📜

🎀 USAGE 🎀

To use PLAIN, here's the tea ☕:

  • the server shall set the ZMQ_PLAIN_SERVER option 👑
  • the client shall set the ZMQ_PLAIN_USERNAME and ZMQ_PLAIN_PASSWORD socket options 🦋

And bestie, which peer binds and which one connects? Not relevant. ✨ It literally does not matter, no cap.
