Important

After sending the certification request, the CA will very likely send back several files. One is the certificate, signed by the CA, and the others are intermediate certificates.

In Mosquitto the certificate must be the concatenation of the certificate delivered + the intermediate certificates.

The operating system must contain more certificates to establish a trust chain to the root certificate.

Important

The MQTT protocol and FCM can be enabled at the same time, to use FCM be sure to read How to install the MDM Agent for Android 8 or later.
