Ratchet PHP WAMP - React / ZeroMQ - Specific user broadcast

Question

Note: This is not the same as this question which utilises MessageComponentInterface. I am using WampServerInterface<

Answer 1

To send to specific users, you need a ROUTER-DEALER pattern instead of PUB-SUB. This is explained in the Guide, in chapter 3. Security, if you're using ZMQ v4.0, is handled at the wire level, so you don't see it in the application. It still requires some work, unless you use the CZMQ binding, which provides an authentication framework (zauth).

Basically, to authenticate, you install a handler on inproc://zeromq.zap.01, and respond to requests over that socket. Google ZeroMQ ZAP for the RFC; there is also a test case in the core libzmq/tests/test_security_curve.cpp program.
