Hi @Alexey ,

Great to see all the new features in 1.15.0! I am excited to give it a whirl.
Does anyone else experience ESP_ERR_MBEDTLS_SSL_HANDSHAKE_FAILED when connecting to Azure IoT Hub? This does not happen on 1.14.3

Cheers!

Hi @jeetland,
I tested the Gateway firmware v1.15.0 to use MQTT with Azure IoT Hub and found no issues.
I configured the Client on the server side to use self-signed certificate by enabling “Thumbprint Match” Validation scheme:

And here is the gateway configuration:

Don’t forget to fill MQTT “Username” on the gateway, it should be equal to “Client Authentication Name” parameter on the cloud.
