Description
From the application point of view, you will have only one option (set useSSL to true). Then Paho JavaScript client will establish a secure websocket connection (i.e. wss://) .
For two authentication, client requires a certificate to establish the connection.
Is it possible to use client authentication with a certificate instead of username/password with the Paho javascript client ? If so, how? please share the tutorials and documentation to proceed.
