Implicit Flow

Implicit client registration will work for any MQTT client.

The first step is that the client tries to connect to Connectware with a username that does not yet exist. Connectware will reject this connection request as usual. However, if the client registration endpoint has been opened (unlocked) before, these connection requests will be shown in the Client Registry section of the Admin Web App. The administrator can then grant access to this client. This will automatically create a user with the name and password received through the connection request. Note: This newly created user will have no initial permissions, hence the administrator will need to assign permissions to this user as the next step.

The benefit of this process is that no manual password handling is required. The client can easily generate a random password on its own.

Note: The user name must be at least 3 characters long, and the password at least 5 characters long, otherwise the registration request will be refused.
