How to use CA signed certificates in HiveMQ-edge without private key password

1

Hi,
I have 2 certificates with me server cert and server key. I don’t have password to the server key file with me. According to the configuration of hivemq-edge I have to provide following details to enable ssl :

C:\Kerry\Hivemq-edge\hivemq-edge-2025.2\conf\hivemq.jks

hivemqbroker

I have two queries:

  1. Instead of .jks format and using keystore can I use PEM certs? if yes, can you point me to the documentation?
  2. Instead of password can I use server cert and private key?
    any help would be great.

Hi @Payal

The private key password is not mandatory, you only need to specify the keystore password.

To answer your question, using PEM certificates directly is not supported.
