TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks(TM) Plug-in for Apache Pulsar 5.0.0 HF-001 supports custom authentication for the plug-in.

Note: In this example, we are using the file customAuth.jar, which extends the user’s choice of authentication mechanism. 

Note: Ensure that the username and password in the following steps are the same wherever prompted. The fields are denoted as <USER_NAME> and <PASSWORD>.

1. Copy and paste the customAuth.jar file in the <TIBCO_HOME/plugins/lib> and the <APACHE_PULSAR_SERVER_HOME/lib> folder. 
2. Create the /etc/.htpasswd file. For more information, see Creating your Authentication File in Apache Pulsar. 
3. Update the standalone.conf file present in the <APACHE_PULSAR_SERVER_HOME>/conf/ folder:
   authenticationEnabled=true
   authenticationProviders=org.apache.pulsar.broker.authentication.AuthenticationProviderBasic
   brokerClientAuthenticationPlugin=newCustomAuth.MyAuthenticationBasic // (This is the package_name.java_class_name from the customAuth.jar)
   brokerClientAuthenticationParameters={"userId":"<USER_NAME>","password":"<PASSWORD>"}
   basicAuthConf=/etc/.htpasswd
4. When creating the shared resource, specify the following values:
