Re: [mosquitto-dev] mosquitto with tls

And, are tou able to connect the broker for TLS using your own CA? I had to write some code to avoid a connection error (usin paho).

Manuel , I will use both.
Since Im server side manager and pro linux , it is easier for my to use command line clients like mosquitto_pub/sub.
But we also have a raspberry using java library and android app using some other mqtt library.
So far the problem is only with command line clients.

So ... it means that If I need to move to a new server , lets suppose for maintenance.
I only need to change the server name ( `hostname` ) and all should continue working?

Also:
"name in cert must match name used to connect"

Can you point those names for:
openssl commands while creating certs
mosquitto_sub client comand line flag while connecting.


btw , thanks for this ... you are helping me a lot.

Regards,
Leandro.

The relevant standards (IETF PKIX) are very complicated, but the essence
is:

  program asks to connect to a name

  system might canonialize the name

  system translates that to an address and connects

  remote provides a certificate

  validation requires that the certifiate be reachable from a configured
  trust anchor (which more or less translates to "server cert's parent
  certificate (CA) is in the list of configured CAs"

  name in cert must match name used to connect


So no, you shouldn't need dns.   You just have to make the names match.
