Certificates

This section allows you to enable certificates for your MQTT broker to enable TLS/SSL encryption.

What are Certificates?​

Certificates are used to secure the communication between the MQTT broker and the devices. They provide:

  • Device Authentication: Authenticate the devices connecting to the broker
  • Encrypted Communication: Encrypt data transmission between devices and the broker
  • Secure Connections: Establish trusted connections using TLS/SSL protocols

Enabling Certificates​

To enable certificates, click the "Enable certificates" button. You will then be redirected to a page where you can upload the required certificate files.

Required Certificate Files​

You'll need the following certificate components:

  • CA Certificate: The Certificate Authority certificate
  • Server Certificate: The server-specific certificate
  • Server Private Key: The private key for the server certificate

Additional Security Features​

When certificates are enabled, you can also enable MTLS (Mutual TLS) for enhanced security, which requires both the client and server to authenticate each other using certificates.
