Yes seems to make sense but still does not work... any idea why? I'll 
try having a look at Mosquitto code anyway.

Sure I'm studying this, trying also to understand if I can achieve my 
other goal of having each user "confined" under a specific topics tree 
(see my other post today). Or better: my colleagues will, I'm not (any

Can't find a description of expected auth plugins API, does it exist?


Thanks again
