Authentication Method (wss)

You can choose between three authentication methods for the WebSocket connection:

• No Authentication

  No logon data is required for this setting.

• Basic Authentication

  If you choose basic authentication, you need to specify, in the Basic screen area, a user name and password that are known to the MQTT server. They are used to build up the WebSocket connection.

  You can also select the Send Credentials with Each Request checkbox if you want the user name and password to be sent for each request.

• Client Certificate Authentication

  In this case, you have to select a certificate with a private key. The selected certificate is also used as an application certificate. In addition, the two screen areas Certificate Folders and Certificate Validation Options are ready for input. (See also: Certificate Folders and Certificate Validation Options.)
