Custom OpenSSL Authentication in C? [message #1760607]

Hi!

I'm trying to add OpenSSL authentication to our MQTT Client. I don't want to use the built in one because I need something that uses OCSP stapling certificate checking, special certificate validation rules, auth tokens, etc. Is there a way to integrate a custom OpenSSL implementation into Eclipse Paho?

Not in the main C client. You can add your own TLS support in the embedded client (https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.embedded-c), but the capabilities are quite different.

Would it be possible to add OSCP support to the main C client in a general way that would be sufficient for your use case?

I'm currently already using the main eclipse paho c client for our embedded linux system. So that's kind of locked in. Although, general support for OCSP certificate validation might be sufficient, our team isn't sure if we want to go with Auth tokens or not. Allowing users to implement their own SSL authentication solution is preferred.

Thanks, I think I have what I need.
