MQTT over SSL - Mosquitto

Posted: Mon Mar 18, 2019 7:38 pm

Hi,

I'm having trouble with MQTT connection.
I'd like to create SSL based communication between a Mosquitto broker and an ESP32 using ESP32 mqtt component.
Finally (it looks like) the transmission layer works.
But now the problem is the MQTT level connection doesn't work, because the client gets an error just after the broker sends connect acknowledge message. :shock:
What could go wrong?

I use this example project : https://github.com/espressif/esp-mqtt/t ... s/mqtt_ssl
I only changed the client settings to this:
const esp_mqtt_client_config_t mqtt_cfg = {
.uri = "mqtts://iot.eclipse.org:8883",
.host = "192.168.1.11",
.port = 8883,
.event_handle = mqtt_event_handler,
.cert_pem = (const char *)iot_eclipse_org_pem_start,
};

Client log:
I (5551) MQTT_CLIENT: Sending MQTT CONNECT message, type: 1, id: 0000
E (5571) MQTT_CLIENT: Invalid MSG_TYPE response: 0, read_len: 16
I (5571) MQTT_CLIENT: Error MQTT Connected
I (5581) MQTT_CLIENT: Reconnect after 10000 ms
I (5581) MQTTS_SAMPLE: MQTT_EVENT_DISCONNECTED

Please guys help me to solve this problem!

Try this

Code: Select all

 
         uri = "mqtts://iot.eclipse.org:8883"
        .event_handle = mqtt_event_handler,
        .cert_pem = (const char * ) server_cert_pem_start,
        .username = "your user name",
        .password = "your password",

Thanks, but I need to connect to a local broker.
I changed my client settings to this:

Code: Select all

    const esp_mqtt_client_config_t mqtt_cfg = {
        .host = "192.168.1.11",
        .port = 8883,
        .event_handle = mqtt_event_handler,
        .cert_pem = (const char *)iot_eclipse_org_pem_start,
    };
But now, broker gets OpenSSL (wrong version) error, so It still has trouble with transmission... :?

Hi,
could you please try this?

Code: Select all

const esp_mqtt_client_config_t mqtt_cfg = {
.uri = "mqtts://192.168.1.11:8883",
.event_handle = mqtt_event_handler,
.cert_pem = (const char *)your_server_cert_pem_start,
};

I changed the URI but still the same error.
My Mosquitto broker detects socket error on client. Does that mean the client disconnects because of the MSG_TYPE error?
With debug logging:

Hi balint603

Espressif supports this library from IDF v3.2, but still this should work with 3.1 and 3.0 (Have just tested on idf 3.0 and connects correctly to the public broker)

Can you please test if
- you can connect to iot.eclipse.org (broker from the example)
- you connect to your local mosquitto with latest IDF (any version from 3.2 to master)?
- you connect to your local mosquitto with a python script?
- you connect to your local mosquitto skipping the certificate verification (just remove line `.cert_pem = (const char *)_cert_start`)

From the log it looks like the socket disconnects after sending connect message, there's no error type, just blank message, which does not make any sense to me...? Could some firewall be cutting the traffic off?

Thanks,
David

I cloned the current IDF and made some tests saving the logs and the current client settings:
I also tried turning off the firewall of my ISR and Ubuntu, no success.
Running the python script from another machine works too.
If the generated .pem file was not appropriate, would a transmission error occur?

Thanks for this testing and sharing the results.
This is really strange, can you please share which version of mosquitto you use?
Ive had some trouble with older versions, but generally worked ok once a python script (using paho lib) could connect.

I seems you cannot connect to mosquitto on your end, even in the latest idf. This very basic scenario is tested in CI on every commit, so I would suspect your installation; but as you're saying python script (from another pc) connects and your firewall is off.

If you had a wrong certificate, you wouldn't connect, but with different error message (see your test2), with latest idf you could even see an error description of certificate verification.

Sorry for the late reply.
I am using 1.4.15-2ubuntu0.18.04.2 .
After reinstall mosquitto:
E (23524) TRANS_SSL: mbedtls_net_connect returned -44
I (23524) mbedtls: ssl_tls.c:7592 => write close notify

I (23524) mbedtls: ssl_tls.c:7608 <= write close notify

E (23524) MQTT_CLIENT: Error transport connect

I have not changed the mosquitto config file!

Looks like a totally different error, now I'd suspect if you switched off the firewall, the connection would work. This error says you cannot initiate a tcp connection to given host/port, before ssl handshake takes place.

In case you still cannot connect, please share also mosqutto configuration and logs from the server and use idf master for better reference and to rule out some older issues.
