We are trying to test Minio notifications using MQTT and with only certificates Our configuration looks like below

export MINIO_NOTIFY_MQTT_BROKER_mqtt1="tls://<MQTT_host>:<MQTT_Port>" export MINIO_NOTIFY_MQTT_TOPIC_mqtt1="<topic_name>" export MINIO_NOTIFY_MQTT_QOS_mqtt1="1" export MINIO_NOTIFY_MQTT_PUBLIC_CERT_mqtt1="app_user.crt" export MINIO_NOTIFY_MQTT_PRIVATE_KEY_mqtt1="app_userkey"

But when we test, Minio is throwing below error

API: SYSTEM.notify Time: 08:10:22 UTC 10/06/2025 DeploymentID: bee27b2f-91da-426e-81b2-73be7af5afe2 Error: bad user name or password (*errors.errorString) targetID="mqtt1:mqtt" 3: internal/logger/logonce.go:118:logger.(*logOnceType).logOnceIf() 2: internal/logger/logonce.go:149:logger.LogOnceIf() 1: internal/event/targetlist.go:291:event.(*TargetList).sendSync.func1()

Can you please provide correct notify parameters for MQTT to achieve this?
