Solved Adding TLS functionality to QT MQTT Simpleclient example

[codeaway]

Greetings,

I've been trying to add TLS support to qT MQTT/examples/mqtt/simpleclient

This is with QT 5.15.0

To start with, fiddled around with a QT console application to test TLS
connectivity to the mosquitto server. This worked out as expected and can publish and subscribe.

That said, back to the simple client;

It appeared to me all that it required was

client->connectToHostEncrypted(config);

So, I added in the following:

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
	: QMainWindow(parent)
	, ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
	ui->setupUi(this);

	QByteArray ba_crt;

	QFile ca_crtf("C:/Program Files/mosquitto/certs_v4/ca.crt");
	if (!ca_crtf.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) {
		qDebug() << "ERROR: Opening file: ca.crt";
	} else {
		ba_crt = ca_crtf.readAll();
		ca_crtf.close();
		qDebug() << "Read CA certificate";
	}

	QSslCertificate ca_crt(ba_crt, QSsl::Pem);
	QSslConfiguration config;				// Since QT 5.14, SSL transport config

	client = new QMqttClient(this);
	client->setHostname(ui->lineEditHost->text());
	client->setPort(ui->spinBoxPort->value());

	config.defaultConfiguration();
	config.setProtocol(QSsl::TlsV1_2);			// needs to be handled explicitly with
	config.addCaCertificate(ca_crt);			// client.connectToHostEncrypted(config);
	config.setPeerVerifyMode(QSslSocket::VerifyNone);	// Dont check hostname from certificate
	client->connectToHostEncrypted(config);

	connect(client, &QMqttClient::stateChanged, this, &MainWindow::updateLogStateChange);
	connect(client, &QMqttClient::disconnected, this, &MainWindow::brokerDisconnected);
	connect(client, &QMqttClient::messageReceived, this, [this](const QByteArray &message, const QMqttTopicName &topic) {

    ..

The rest is the same as in simpleclient

But that resulted in the mosquitto client shouting out to me that
certificate not received in a cryptic message.

PS C:\Program Files\mosquitto> .\mosquitto.exe -c .\mosquitto.conf -v
1599155516: mosquitto version 1.6.10 starting
1599155516: Config loaded from .\mosquitto.conf.

1599156145: mosquitto version 1.6.10 terminating
PS C:\Program Files\mosquitto>

Maybe I am missing something here ?
Can someone please help me understand why the certificate is not sent in this situation ?

Thanks,

Manu

Replying to my own post. Please ignore the post. The issue was fixed by moving the config to the button press event. Things do work as expected.

Sorry about the noise.

Thanks
