Managing access to event broker services includes:
- Controlling who has management access to configure and manage the event broker service.
- Controlling which clients can publish and subscribe through the event broker service.
Managing authentication involves configuring how users and clients with access to the event broker service prove their identity to gain access.
Configuring User Access
Administrators manage which user accounts have access to Cluster Manager and event broker services through the PubSub+ Cloud Console with user roles. For more information, see Managing Users, Groups, Roles, and Permissions.
Administrators and Mission Control Managers can elevate the permissions or Mission Control Users for individual event broker services. For more information, see Configuring User Access to Event Broker Services.
To manage event broker services from outside of the Cloud Console using other tools, such as SEMP and REST APIs, requires the username and password for the event broker service. For more information on obtaining these credentials, see Managing Your Event Broker Service.
Configuring Authentication
PubSub+ Cloud allows microservices to connect to your event broker service with Basic Authentication (internal database or LDAP), user authentication through LDAP management access, client certificate authentication (also known as mutual TLS), and OAuth provider authentication. For more information, see Configuring Authentication to Event Broker Services.
