Abstract
MQTT Security Context allows secure command writes through MQTT Engine and MQTT Transmission by using custom tag permissions to authorize a tag write based on user.
When using Ignition Security Context, the user authorization is encrypted and included with the published write event message from MQTT Engine. At MQTT Transmission, if the user is authorized to write to the tag, this results in a successful write, and the tag change is published. If the user is not authorized to write to the tag, there is no action taken.
Review the Standard Tag Properties table for details on setting the Security property.
This page describes the MQTT Engine and MQTT Transmission configurations required to use MQTT Security Context.
