To set up Mosquitto-go-auth plugin for Mosquitto MQTT broker for JWT verification, you’ll need to follow these steps:
- Compiling the Plugin: First of all, you’ll need to compile the plugin with Mosquito. Please ensure that you have a compatible version of Mosquitto and Go installed.
- Configuration: Once the plugin is compiled, set it up in the Mosquitto configuration file by adding the auth_plugin directive with the path of your compiled go-auth.so file.
- JWT Verification: For JWT verification, enable the jwt backend in the Go-auth configuration file. Configure the jwt_secret and jwt_user_props as necessary.
I would recommend reading the official documentation of mosquitto-go-auth for more detailed instructions and examples:

Remember that you may need to restart the Mosquitto service after any changes to the configuration files.
Hope that this helps!
