zmq_plain(7)
============


NAME
----
zmq_plain - clear-text authentication


SYNOPSIS
--------
The PLAIN mechanism defines a simple username/password mechanism that 
lets a server authenticate a client. PLAIN makes no attempt at security 
or confidentiality. It is intended for use on internal networks where 
security requirements are low. The PLAIN mechanism is defined by this 
document: <http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:24>.


USAGE
-----
To use PLAIN, the server shall set the ZMQ_PLAIN_SERVER option, and the 
client shall set the ZMQ_PLAIN_USERNAME and ZMQ_PLAIN_PASSWORD socket 
options. Which peer binds, and which connects, is not relevant.
