How do I create a bridge.conf between the venus mqtt broker and mosquitto

In home assistant I can config a MQTT broker to have access to the venus_mqtt items:

mqtt:
  broker: mqtt.victronenergy.com
  port: 8883
  certificate: venus-ca.crt
  client_id: mark
  username: <MyUserneme>
  password: <MyPassword>

but because i already have a mqtt broker (mosquitto) i have to make a bridge:

connection victron
address mqtt.victronenergy.com:8883
remote_username <MyUsername>
remote_password <MyPassword>
clientid mark
require_certificate true
bridge_cafile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
try_private true
start_type automatic
topic # in 0
topic # out 0

in my logfile i find:

1567354421: Connecting bridge (step 1) victron (mqtt.victronenergy.com:8883)
1567354421: Connecting bridge (step 2) victron (mqtt.victronenergy.com:8883)
1567354421: OpenSSL Error: error:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certiicate verify failed
1567354421: Socket error on client local.mark, disconnecting.

What can I do to correct this?

I believe the bridge config will require the victron certificate as you showed for the direct connection.

Thank you for your response

The problem is still the same. This is what is in the log file

1567404578: Connecting bridge (step 1) victron (mqtt.victronenergy.com:8883)
1567404578: Connecting bridge (step 2) victron (mqtt.victronenergy.com:8883)
1567404579: OpenSSL Error: error:1416F086:SSL routines:tls_process_server_certificate:certificate verify failed
1567404579: Socket error on client local.mark, disconnecting.
1567404581: mosquitto version 1.6.4 terminating

I think the problem is in the 'bridge_cafile' Is this the wright one? If not, where do I find it?
