I need some instructions on how to configure the Mosquitto broker so that I can use the Paho client to connect to it via an SSL connection. Currently, I am using Mosquitto version 1.6.9 which works fine when I run either a Windows sockets program or use MQTT to connect to it via an insecure connection. If anyone has a document or instructions on configuring an SSL certificate to use with the server and then the specific settings on using the Paho client to connect to it, I would appreciate it. The server is configured with user accounts and passwords (which is working fine). It is important that the Paho clients do not have to provide a client certificate as the application I am working on allows connections from many different types of devices and browsers. Thanks, Keith ---
