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. + + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkzmq:zmq_setsockopt[3] +linkzmq:zmq_null[7] +linkzmq:zmq_curve[7] +linkzmq:zmq[7] + + +AUTHORS +------- +This page was written by the 0MQ community.
