Ability for MVI Edge to authenticate to MQTT using OAuth or 509 Certs

with MVI Edge only allowing for authentication of username and password, we are forced to add another piece of software to the architecture for MVI. If OAUth or 509 certs were allowed, we could use Azure Event Grid in the Azure cloud. We would not have to add/pay for/support another piece of software. Only allowing username and password is an older way of authentication. IBM should be modifying this to stay current/modern with applications. Even Hive MQ allows for all 3 types of authentication, not just 1. Apps should be more flexible than what IBM is allowing for in order to work more seamlessly in the cloud environment. This would simplify the MVI landscape.

    Dear @Guest, the recommended way of using MVI Edge with an external MQTT Broker is to enable MQTT Bridging in the Edge MQTT Broker. This supports authentication using x509 certificates.
