MOSQUITTO-TLS(7)	 Conventions and miscellaneous	      MOSQUITTO-TLS(7)

NAME
       mosquitto-tls - Configure SSL/TLS support for Mosquitto

DESCRIPTION
       mosquitto provides SSL support for encrypted network connections and
       authentication. This manual describes how to create the files needed.

	   Note
	   It is important to use different certificate subject parameters for
	   your CA, server and clients. If the certificates appear identical,
	   even though generated separately, the broker/client will not be
	   able to distinguish between them and you will experience difficult
	   to diagnose errors.

CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY
       Generate a certificate authority certificate and key.

       ·   openssl req -new -x509 -days <duration> -extensions v3_ca -keyout
	   ca.key -out ca.crt

SERVER
       Generate a server key.

       ·   openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 2048

       Generate a server key without encryption.

       ·   openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048

       Generate a certificate signing request to send to the CA.

       ·   openssl req -out server.csr -key server.key -new

       Send the CSR to the CA, or sign it with your CA key:

       ·   openssl x509 -req -in server.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key
	   -CAcreateserial -out server.crt -days <duration>

CLIENT
       Generate a client key.

       ·   openssl genrsa -des3 -out client.key 2048

       Generate a certificate signing request to send to the CA.

       ·   openssl req -out client.csr -key client.key -new

       Send the CSR to the CA, or sign it with your CA key:

       ·   openssl x509 -req -in client.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key
	   -CAcreateserial -out client.crt -days <duration>
