MQTT Addon - authentication with user and/or certificates?

Configuration
1

Hey there,

quick question I can’t seem to find an answer for. Can I use the official MQTT Addon for home assistant OS with user authentication and a user password combo or is it either or?

Background: My internal network uses user and password auth since not all devices have the option for certificates. But now I need to open up MQTT to the internet and would of course only use the SSL version. If I read the documentation corretly thats not possible?

Cheers

Hello mason,

Open the add-on and look at the documentation page, it’s all there.

I still would not open it to the internet, but the features are available.

the part that irritates me…

It states if require_certificate is false, * cafile option is ignored … or maybe I misread it? Too many moving parts I need to wrap my head around currently. :wink:
