Can't connect from blazor WASM using WebSocket and TLS

[FabrizioSalis]

Hi everyone!

I am trying to connect from a blazor WASM application to a cloud hosted MQTT server.
The only way to communicate is by the usage of WebSockets, because TCP access is denied from a browser.
Another requirement is to use TLS encryption.

This is my client configuration:

    var options = new MqttClientOptionsBuilder()
                .WithWebSocketServer("[MYAPP].cloudapp.azure.com:9883")
                .WithTls()
                .Build();

and this is the server part:

clientOptionsBuilder.WithTls().WithWebSocketServer("[MYAPP].cloudapp.azure.com:9883");

I got an error during the handshake. I guess something is missing in the server configuration, maybe I should set a certificate somewhere?

Thanks for your help

Please provide some more details which kind of error you get. Please try to connect using MQTTnetApp (https://github.com/chkr1011/MQTTnetApp) and let me know if it work for that app.

Thank you for the answer.

I tried with your console, and same error. Here you have all the SERVER source code:

In the attachments, the client configuration.

using System.Security.Authentication;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
using MQTTnet.AspNetCore;

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
var certificate = new X509Certificate(@"D:\cert.pfx", "******", X509KeyStorageFlags.Exportable);


builder.Services.AddHostedMqttServer(options =>
{
    options.WithEncryptedEndpointPort(1883);
    options.WithEncryptedEndpoint();
    options.WithRemoteCertificateValidationCallback((sender, certificate, chain, errors) => true);
    options.WithEncryptionCertificate(certificate.Export(X509ContentType.Pfx));
    options.WithTlsEndpointReuseAddress();
    options.WithEncryptionSslProtocol(SslProtocols.Tls12);
});

builder.Services.AddMqttTcpServerAdapter();
builder.Services.AddMqttWebSocketServerAdapter();
builder.Services.AddMqttConnectionHandler();
builder.Services.AddConnections();
builder.WebHost.ConfigureKestrel(o =>
{
    o.ListenAnyIP(1883, l => l.UseMqtt());
    o.ListenAnyIP(5000);
});

var app = builder.Build();

app.MapGet("/", () => "The MQTT Service is running.");

app.UseRouting();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints => {
        endpoints.MapConnectionHandler<MqttConnectionHandler>("/mqtt",
            httpConnectionDispatcherOptions => httpConnectionDispatcherOptions.WebSockets.SubProtocolSelector =
                protocolList => protocolList.FirstOrDefault() ?? string.Empty);
    });

app.Run();

and this is the exception from the test app:

@FabrizioSalis Did you find a solution for your problem?

[FabrizioSalis]

I couln't, the project had a change of plans, I used Blazor Server, I didn't need to deal with that anymore. Sorry.
