MQTT - Certificate

This tab allows to define a client-side certificate that should be used for the communication with the broker.

For a TLS connection type MQTT brokers can be configured to verify the client identity by checking if the client certificate is trusted. For that purpose a client certificate must be configured and the corresponding root certificate or the client application certificate must be in the broker certificate trust list. How this is done depends on the broker - see the specific broker documentation.
