Learn about security best practices for MQTT Sparkplug

The connector currently supports TLS v1.2. You must upload a CA certificate in the data source configuration in order to use a secure connection. The certificate received from the server must be valid and either the root certificate must be in the Windows Certificate Store (Local Machine -> Trusted Root Certification Authorities), or match the uploaded certificate. You can provide any certificate in the data source configuration if the valid certificate exists in the Windows Certificate Store.

• To do server validation, you must upload a certificate in the data source configuration even if the valid certificate already exists in the Windows Certificate Store.

• It is recommended to use an insecure connection to test for dataflow before using TLS and certificates.
