Error: Unable to load auth plugin "/usr/lib/auth-plug.so"

You've compiled yourself, so you've probably also made install in Mosquitto. Did you remember to run ldconfig so that your system picks up new libs? Also, check ldd /usr/lib/auth-plug.so to see whether all paths can be resolved.

[gallog]

I've made
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

In Mosquitto's src/security.c, on line 56, can you add this after the call to LIB_LOAD?

if (!lib){
       printf("LOADERROR %s\n", dlerror());

[gallog]

Output:
LOADERROR /usr/lib/auth-plug.so: undefined symbol: ares_library_init

[jpmens]

There you go. :)
Mosquitto requires the cares for DNS SRV records, but you can safely change Mosquitto's config.mk to set WITH_SRV:=no. Then:

make clean
make

[gallog]

Solved, thanks :)
Also need to rebuild you plugin after changing WITH_SRV:=no and recompiling mosquitto.

[jpmens]

Because of the linkage with Mosquitto, yes. Sorry: I forgot to say that. Glad it works now.

auth_opt_userquery SELECT pw FROM users WHERE username = '%s'
auth_opt_superquery SELECT IFNULL(COUNT(*), 0) FROM users WHERE username = '%s' AND super = 1

[jpmens]

Why are you commenting on a closed issue with something that has nothing to do with the original issue?! The plugin isn't allowed to connect to mysql. are you sure root is your db password?

[hkverma310]

yeah my db password is root

[mahesh-balumuri]

I have changed WITH_SRV:=no and recompiled both mosquitto and mqtt-auth-plugin. I am getting the below error.

./mosquitto -c ../local.conf
