Kick or Ban user or client in Mosquitto MQTT

Question

i have a configured Mosquitto MQTT broker...

I'd like to kick or ban a user for an amount of time?

How can i do this from another subscribed client? Should i do this from the broker? How?

You can't block on a client id basis, the only option would be to enable ACLs with a database back end (something like https://github.com/jpmens/mosquitto-auth-plug) and then update the database to remove access to topics to specific users.

So... a background process to update ACL in Mysql? Is this plugin capable to filter topics? – Fabiosoft Mar 16 '16 at 19:13
Yes, you can set topic level filters – hardillb Mar 16 '16 at 20:15
