Edge Module Authentication
Hi Folks, I've made my first IoT Edge Module (container), its just based off: FROM ubuntu:oracular For now, but it seems to start up and run correctly. I've pushed the container into ACR and added it to my manifest which pushed it down to my edge gateway and its up and running. So far so good. Now, I want my application in that container to publish events to the edgeHub, and subscribe to properties set in IoT Central. I followed some of the guides, but have had no luck. Firstly - not much love for a rust application, but aside from that, I've resorted to jumping into the container and trying to use the mosquitto clients likes so: $ docker exec -ti <module_id> bash # mosquitto_sub -d \ -V mqttv311 \ -h edgeHub \ -p 8883 \ -i "${IOTEDGE_DEVICEID}/${IOTEDGE_MODULEID}" \ -u "${IOTEDGE_IOTHUBHOSTNAME}/${IOTEDGE_DEVICEID}/${IOTEDGE_MODULEID}/?api-version=2018-06-30" \ -P "${SAS_TOKEN}" \ -t "devices/${IOTEDGE_DEVICEID}/modules/${IOTEDGE_MODULEID}/messages/events" \ --cafile /etc/ssl/certs/IoTHubRootCA.pem \ -q 1 Client <device_id>/<module_id> sending CONNECT OpenSSL Error[0]: error:0A000086:SSL routines::certificate verify failed Error: Protocol error I just cant get it to validate the certs in the edgeHub. If I look at the edgeHub container it shows: $ docker logs -f edgeHub <4> 2025-06-30 06:52:23.276 +00:00 [WRN] - "TLS handshake failed., System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (Authentication failed, see inner exception.)\n ---> System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: Authentication failed, see inner exception.\n ---> Interop+OpenSsl+SslException: SSL Handshake failed with OpenSSL error - SSL_ERROR_SSL.\n ---> Interop+Crypto+OpenSslCryptographicException: error:0A000418:SSL routines::tlsv1 alert unknown ca\n --- End of inner exception stack trace ---\n at Interop.OpenSsl.DoSslHandshake(SafeSslHandle context, ReadOnlySpan`1 input, Byte[]& sendBuf, Int32& sendCount)\n at System.Net.Security.SslStreamPal.HandshakeInternal(SafeDeleteSslContext& context, ReadOnlySpan`1 inputBuffer, Byte[]& outputBuffer, SslAuthenticationOptions sslAuthenticationOptions)\n --- End of inner exception stack trace ---\n at System.Net.Security.SslStream.ForceAuthenticationAsync[TIOAdapter](Boolean receiveFirst, Byte[] reAuthenticationData, CancellationToken cancellationToken)\n --- End of inner exception stack trace ---, 0af563ac" That error suggests the edgeHub does not like the CA in my module ? I'm looking for any references to get the right CA's setup so that my translation app can publish events to the edgeHub container.
Need help with updating disconnected devices
hey, I am new to azure and IOT and I need help with knowing how to do this. The scenario is that: I have a set of Linux devices that can't be connected to the internet ever, these devices should be connected to another device (will have internet) which will act as parent to all these disconnected devices. The challenge is to update these child devices using Azure IOT, the updates will be deployed in the hub, and it has to passed to child devices via parent device and automatically needs to be installed in the child devices. The parent might not require this update or might. How will I do this? also I can't use any scripting mechanisms. Now when I surfed a bit through azure documentation, I found out that I can use device update for this, What I found was: 1) setup every device in IOT hub 2)set the device with internet as parent and others a child 3)set up MCC module in parent 4)Connect the devices physically (Lan or Wi-Fi) 5)Roll out updates Now I don't know whether this is true or not, it's just my understanding. I am having few doubts: 1)do we also add the child devices (disconnected devices in IOT hub), if yes what if we have 1000 devices? (I'm asking about scalability) 2)How do I actually physically connect the parent and child devices, do I just plug in Lan/Wi-Fi, or do I have to do anything else? 3)How to add MCC Module? 4)how does this actually works? is it feasible?
Files from IoTHub in storage are not JSON
Hello, In my IotHub, I defined entrypoint for storage. While I see that the files are arrive successfully, the type of them is not JSON and I defied. The content is JSON, but the extension is empty and not JSON as I used to have. What can i define wrong this time? ThanksIoT Device Simulation - Device simulator covering a wide range of Azure IoT SDK features
Hi all, In case you will find this useful for your IoT projects, you will find https://github.com/jonmikeli/azureiotdevicesimulator an #iot device #simulation tool implementing a wide range of #azure IoT SDK capabilities. The approach of the solution is to complete other https://jmidotnetfr.wordpress.com/2019/08/25/azure-iot-device-simulator-vs-microsoft-device-simulator-accelerator/. The solution is a .NET Core application. It can be used : as a development tool as a complete IoT flow simulation tool from the device perspective (C2D/D2C, including IoTHub modules) for building simulation platforms (containerized, Docker image). Many configurations are possible through JSON-based settings. All details are https://github.com/jonmikeli/azureiotdevicesimulator ;). Enjoy 😉
