Hi Steve,

It sounds like the connection is failing at some point and then attempting
to reconnect, which is what is triggering the pass phrase request. The
mosquitto pub/sub utilities only offer keyboard entry of pass phrases. It
would be fairly straightforward to add your own method to obtain the
password though.

There is more to your problem than that though, as you know! I would
suggest starting out using the simplest case - no client authentication
required. If that works then move on to providing a client certificate but
not requiring it and so on. You may also wish to try with the ssl
certificates from the test/ssl/ directory as these are "known good". One
thing to be careful of when generating your certificates is to ensure that
you make each certificate unique. I had a very confusing time in the past
when I made a CA certificate and a server certificate with the exact same
details.

Cheers,

Roger
