MQTT Tunneling through HTTP proxy using client certificate to log in to proxy #1467
-
|
Hello together, I have a question about tunneling the MQTT communication through an HTTP proxy. I am aware that paho mqtt supports proxies with username/password authentication with _proxy_set. But in my case, I want to use a client certificate plus the basic authentication to authenticate at the proxy server. Is anyone aware if this is possible or how to do it? Thank you and kind regards, |

I've never tried anything like that either. But I can imagine that the proxy needs an extra configuration for this case |

Hi jumoog, thanks for the quick response. I don't know much about how the proxy handles it, but I successfully tested the proxy with a simple curl request using a client certificate. So from proxy perspective this should work. I'm just curious if there is a way to send those certificates from the paho client. Maybe in a similar way like you can do with the certificates to connect to the MQTT broker. But if you don't know about a solution, I think I have to find a different approach. Kind regards. |

Thank you, though!
