• pwfile is managed by mosquitto_passwd.
• Two methods to support TLS:
  • You can get free TLS certificates from letsencrypt, capath is needed.
  • Self-signed TLS keys can be generated by openssl, cafile is needed.

It is important to use different certificate subject parameters for your self-signed CA, server and clients.
