I am using WolfSSL on an embedded device and am trying to connect to an Azure EventGrid MQTT broker. The Client Hello message from the device is ignored by the server, which responds with a TCP RST packet.

@Daniel Hadlow Thanks for your patience! MQTT broker requires, TLS-1.2, client certificate cypher-suits: TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384 cyphers: ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256, ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384, ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256, ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384. could you please share the client's broker name to verify logs?

@Daniel Hadlow Thanks for reaching out. Looking into it will get back to you shortly.

@Daniel Hadlow Just a follow up to my previous comment and see if you can share the requested info. That would help in assisting you better

@JananiRamesh-MSFT I’m facing similar issues where the cypher suites you shared above don’t allow my embedded device’s modem to authenticate with the Event Grid MQTT broker during the handshake. There’s documentation (for IoT Hub, is there an Event Grid MQTT equivalent?) stating to exclude RSA cypher suites, however the modem only supports the following:

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA

TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA

TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5

TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA

TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256

Is there any way to get a modem supporting these cypher suites to successfully connect to Event Grid MQTT broker or plans to support these RSA cypher suites in the future given it’s a standard for many embedded systems today?

Olaf Wrieden Thanks for reaching out. You're right! that's a current gap in documentation that we will add similar to hub's docs.

Regarding the question around the possibility to support these cypher suites, discussing with Product group team we'll get back to you with an update.

@JananiRamesh-MSFT is there an update on when some of the RSA based ciphersuites in my previous comment will be supported? It would open Event Grid MQTT to more existing embedded system modems. IoT Hub with MQTT is very limited and now recommends Event Grid for this workload instead - but the difference in ciphersuites doesn’t make this possible.

@Daniel Hadlow Thanks for your patience! MQTT broker requires, TLS-1.2, client certificate

cypher-suits: TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256, TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

cyphers: ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256, ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-SHA256, ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA384, ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256, ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384.

could you please share the client's broker name to verify logs?
