Authenticating with a User and Password
For this example, start the server using:
> gnatsd --user myname --pass password
You can encrypt passwords to pass to gnatsd using a simple tool provided by the server:
> go run mkpasswd.go -p
> password: password
> bcrypt hash: $2a$11$1oJy/wZYNTxr9jNwMNwS3eUGhBpHT3On8CL9o7ey89mpgo88VG6ba
and use the hashed password in the server config. The client still uses the plain text version.
The code uses localhost:4222 so that you can start the server on your machine to try them out.
Connecting with a User/Password
When logging in with a password gnatsd will take either a plain text password or an encrypted password.

Connecting with a User/Password in the URL
Most clients make it easy to pass the user name and password by accepting them in the URL for the server. This standard format is:
nats://user:password@server:port
Using this format, you can connect to a server using authentication as easily as you connected with a URL:
