I am installing Connect 2024.1 and afterwards the HiveMQ MQTT Broker, but there you should select the server.pfx from Soti Connect, what is the password ? During installing Soti Connect 2024.1 you can just select a password for the RootCA and not for the MQTT certificates, as it was possible in older versions of Connect concerning the online help.

What have I missed during installation?

Hi Martin K.

I appreciate your post on SOTI Pulse,

Regarding your inquiry:

The password for the SOTI Connect.PFX Root certificate can be found in the .txt file enclosed within the ZIP file obtained from the SOTI Connect Console. You can locate this under Menu > Administration > Certificates Management > Download Root Certificate.

Please note that the capability to generate certificates for your MQTT server has been removed from the SOTI Connect installer. After careful consideration, it was determined that generating these certificates independently of the SOTI Connect installer would be more appropriate.

You have the option to utilize the provided SOTI Connect Root certificate or generate and use a separate Root certificate, such as one signed by a public Certificate Authority that you may already have in use.

For additional guidance, we have created How-To videos that offer general instructions, as well as Zebra-specific details, on creating and using MQTT certificates:
