Some background: I am testing Cedalo MQTT broker connection using self-signed certificates on MQTT Explorer. I have generated SSL certificates using openssl on my Ubuntu machine and added them in both Mosquitto Certificate Store & MQTT Explorer as shown below.
Certificates in ctrlX CORE "Mosquitto Certificate Store"
Certificates in "MQTT Explorer"
Issue: The client connection request shows "self signed certificate" error when I try to connect with broker using the above approach. I have tested the connection with python as well on my computer and it shows the same error.
Questions
- Is the above approach correct to connect the clients?
- Is there something I am missing?
- Will the communication work when I use certificates from a trusted source?
- Is there any example of connecting the broker in ctrlX CORE via self-signed certificates?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
