# no\_auth\_user

Requires Restart

If no user name is provided when a WebSocket client connects, will default this user name in the authentication phase. If specified, this will override, for WebSocket clients, any `no_auth_user` value defined in the main configuration file.

A leaf node connecting over WebSocket also picks this value up in preference to the top-level `no_auth_user`.

*Note: that this is not compatible with running the server in operator mode.*
