can't use create_from_edge_environment with proxy options - client doesn't connect to azure iot hub
Hello, I am trying to configure a client connection towards azure iot hub from a module. I've tried creating the client with create_from_edge_environment method and I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/azure/iot/device/common/mqtt_transport.py", line 391, in connect rc = self._mqtt_client.connect( File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 914, in connect return self.reconnect() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 1044, in reconnect sock = self._create_socket_connection() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 3683, in _create_socket_connection return socks.create_connection(addr, timeout=self._connect_timeout, source_address=source, **proxy) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/socks.py", line 209, in create_connection raise err File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/socks.py", line 199, in create_connection sock.connect((remote_host, remote_port)) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/socks.py", line 47, in wrapper return function(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/socks.py", line 814, in connect raise GeneralProxyError("Socket error", error) socks.GeneralProxyError: Socket error: 407: Proxy Authentication Required This problem doesn't appear if I create the client using create_from_connection_string method. This adds complexity to my script and I would like to use create_from_edge_environment method. Does anybody have any insights on why one method works and the other doesn't? Thanks!Azure IoT Device Simulator-.Net Core 3.x version
Hi all, In case it can help, you will find https://github.com/jonmikeli/azureiotdevicesimulator3 an Azure IoT Device Simulator upgraded to .Net Core 3.x. The solution allows to simulate a broad part of the Azure IoT Device SDK. Those capabilities include features like: C2D messages based on JSON templates (different types of messages included by default) D2C flows (desired properties, direct methods, messages) flows at device and module level configurable through separated configuration files (JSON-based). You can set different settings for each type of message, for each module and for each device. The solution runs as a .Net Core console application. It is easily containerizable (you can even find an image ready to use https://hub.docker.com/r/jonmikeli/azureiotdevicesimulator3). The solution can be used as a developer tool (I guess, this is its primary use) or to build a simulation platform. This could maybe complete the simulation capabilities of Microsoft IoT Central. A https://github.com/jonmikeli/azureiotdevicesimulator exists too. Enjoy your IoT project ;).
