Hello Santos, I have failed to configure tsl on my esp32, what is the best format for adding a certificate, I have been trying different ways but each comes with a new sort of errror. The current format is ;
the certificate is in cert4.h file
const char* cert4 = “MDIxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlVTMRYwFAYDVQQKEw1MZXQncyBFbmNyeXB0MQswCQYDVQQDEwJSMzAeFw0yNDA1MjQwMjIxMzJaFw0yNDA4MjIwMjIxMzFaMBkxFzAVBgNVBAMTDnNzZXJ1emFpZmEuY29tMFkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDQgAEOEwmkGYTzQZOyGp7HzGHKA=”;
deleted all new lines and remained with on long string
and the error code looks like this
start_ssl_client(): Starting socket
[121637][V][ssl_client.cpp:146] start_ssl_client(): Seeding the random number generator
[121638][V][ssl_client.cpp:155] start_ssl_client(): Setting up the SSL/TLS structure…
[121641][V][ssl_client.cpp:178] start_ssl_client(): Loading CA cert
[121648][E][ssl_client.cpp:37] _handle_error(): [start_ssl_client():187]: (-8576) X509 – The CRT/CRL/CSR format is invalid
, e.g. different type expected
I believe the settings on the server side are okay as I can do pub/sub succesfully between two android phones
kindly guide me through

I succeeded, I got the fullchain.pem from which I got the server certificate an rootCA certificate. The format I used is
const char* serverCertificate = “—–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—–\n”
“zCdgddgdCAxugAwIBAgISBPF1g+DNKh/0Mcp/+UU/jNwPMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBCwUA\n”
“MDIxCzAnnnnaJBgNVRYwFAYDVQQKEw1MZXQncyBFbmNyeXB0MQswCQYDVQQD\n”

“—–END CERTIFICATE—–“;
const char* rootCACertificate1 = \

“cmNoIEdyb3VwMRUwEwYDhsJGxJU1JHIFJvb3QgWDEwHhcNMjAwOTA0MDAwMDAw\n” \
…..
and in main I put
espClient.setCACert(rootCACertificate1);
espClient.setCertificate(serverCertificate);
mqtt_client.setServer(mqtt_server, port);
