Hi Paolo,

In that case I think the issue is that my certificates were self-signed so 
there was no CA. I think this works on the Java Broker thanks to the KeyStore 
and TrustStore features.

I will re-organize my certificates to have a CA which will generate the client 
and server certificates and test again.

Thanks for the helpful explanation!

Regards,
Adel
