Mickael, I imagine it is fairly easy in MessageHub to deal with expired SASL/PLAIN credentials since checks can be added to the interceptor in the broker.
Ismael, Is it really feasible in general to deal with expired credentials in Authorizers? It sort of expects tight coupling between authenticator and authorizer, Not sure how an authorizer would deal with certificate expiry or certificate revocation when using SSL client auth for instance.
