About topics' authentication mechanism

[pfctgeorge]

I have read the docs and found that there is not any reference about auth mechanism of the topics in cluster. So, my question is that how we can do to allow multiple tenants to use a same cluster, and how a tenant can do to protect the topics from bad effects of any read/write operation from an another tenant.

We use the same auth mechanism with the original NSQ, so you can both use the tls or use the -auth-http-address. More docs can be found here: https://nsq.io/components/nsqd.html

Oh, I see that and it really helps. One more question, if I set the auth_secret in the config of a Go client, will the auth mechanism of pub/sub operations works, just like a single nsqd server?

Yes, it should work as the same.

Thanks a lot.
