Hi dominous,

thank you very much for trying mqtt.cool!

I guess you modified the brokers_configuration.xml file, probably introducing a typo or something similar which makes the file no more XML compliant.

Could you please send us the file to verify if my hypothesis is correct?

Regards,

Gianluca

Gianluca, thanks for the faster response.

I left my config

Thanks!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<mqttcool_brokers_config>

<!-- Optional. Fully qualified class name of a hook with purpose of

authentication and authorization of users. Must implement the

MqttCoolHook interface.

See docs for more information. -->

<!--

<hook_class>my.package.MyHook</hook_class>

-->

<!-- A configuration for a target MQTT broker is given by the set of

parameters used to establish the connection. Each configuration is

uniquely identified by a connection alias, which will be then used

by the clients to specify the MQTT broker to connect to.

It is also possible to define multiple configurations (to the same

or different brokers).

The name of each single parameter must be expressed in the

following form:

where:

- <connection_alias> is the alias which identifies the configuration

- <connection_param> is the specific connection parameter to set.

For example, to define a configuration for a Mosquitto instance, it

could be possible to use the connection alias "mosquitto" and then

specify all related parameters as follows:

and so on.

In the same way, a configuration for a VerneMQ instance could be

defined as follows:

where "vernemq" is the alias of choice.

The following are examples of configurations. -->

<!--

=====================================

CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE FOR "Mosquitto"

=====================================

-->

<!-- Mandatory. The address of the MQTT broker to connect to.

Accepted URI forms are:

- tcp://<host>:<port>

- mqtt://<host>:<port>

- mqtts://<host>:<port>

- ssl://<host>:<port>

Note that the use of "mqtts" and "ssl" triggers encrypted

communication with the MQTT broker. Therefore, further parameters

might be required in order to properly support the secure channel.

See below "security_protocol", "truststore_path",

"truststore_password", "keystore_path", "keystore_password", and

"private_key_password". -->

<!-- Optional. Client Id prefix to be used for shared connections. If

the clients want to share a single connection, then a randomly

generated suffix will be appended to generate a unique ClientId for

opening the physical connection toward the MQTT broker. Uniqueness

of the ClientId is mandatory as multiple shared connections may

exist for the same broker.

Default: MQTT_Cool. -->

<param name="mosquitto.clientid_prefix">mosquitto_client</param>

<!-- Optional. The connection timeout expressed in seconds.

Default: 5. -->

<!-- Optional. The keep alive interval expressed in seconds.

Default: 30. -->

<!-- Optional. The username for authenticating with the MQTT broker. The

value that may be provided by the client will take precedence over

this setting. -->

<--

-->

<!-- Optional. The password for authenticating with the MQTT broker. The

value that may be provided by the client will take precedence over

this setting. -->

<--

<param name="mosquitto.password">password$$</param>

-->

<!-- Optional. The payload of the Will Message, which is interpreted

on the basis of the "will_message_format" parameter.

The Will Message and related parameters (as defined below) are

processed only in the case of dedicated connections.

The Will Message and related parameters that may be provided by

the client will take precedence over the corresponding settings.

-->

<!--

<param name="mosquitto.will_message">will_message</param>

-->

<!-- Optional. As the CONNECT Control Packet will contain just a

sequence of raw bytes for the Will Message, this setting specifies

how to interpret the payload provided through the "will_message"

parameter in order to give the opportunity to supply either a

string or binary sequence.

Specify:

- "UTF-8" to interpret the text as a regular string, which will

then be encoded into the final sequence of bytes using the UTF-8

character set.

- "base64" to interpret the text as a Base64 encoded string, which

will then be decoded accordingly to make the final sequence of

bytes.

Default: UTF-8. -->

<!--

-->

<!-- Mandatory if "will_message" is defined. The topic name of the

Will Message. Must be at least 1 character in length. -->

<!--

<param name="mosquitto.will_topic">will_topic</param>

<!-- Optional, but considered only if "will_message" is defined. The QoS

integer value of the Will Message.

Default: 0. -->

<!--

-->

<!-- Optional, but considered only if "will_message" is defined. The

retain flag of the Will Message.

Default: false. -->

<!--

<!-- Optional. Sets the log interval (expressed in milliseconds) at

which basic statistics (e.g., number of brokers, number of client

connections, current upstream and downstream message frequency,

etc.) are logged through the "MQTTCoolLogger.statistics" logger

defined in <MQTT.COOL_HOME>/conf/log_configuration.xml.

This same statistics are accessible through the JMX interface.

If 0, basic statistics are not logged.

Default: 0. -->

"server_address". The protocol to be used in the case of encrypted

connection to the broker.

Default: TLSv1.2. -->

the "server_address". The path to the JKS truststore relative to

the "conf" folder.

The truststore contains the MQTT broker certificate to trust.

If no truststore is specified, then a default one is determined

according to the JSSE Reference Guide

( https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/security/jsse/JSSERefGuide.html).

The keystore contains the client certificate and the private key

to be used in the case the target MQTT broker requires client

authentication.

Hi dominous,

please check the following parameters:

<--

-->

<--

<param name="mosquitto.password">password$$</param>

-->

They are not well-formatted as commented blocs. Please update as follows:

<!--

Thanks, now is working. I will use my own mqtt server, so i thought my broker config has to be put in this side.

I will follow testing

Great !

Great @dominous,

please keep us up to date with your progress.

May I ask you to share with us a little description of your use case? It would be highly appreciated!

Best,

Gianluca

Yes, of course

My idea is to integrate a chat inside an open source software called home assistant https://www.home-assistant.io/

In place of use a standards chat like whatsapp or telegram, i,'ll use a private chat like mqtt cool.

This chat inclusive should work without internet, only on LAN and could be integrated directly in a chrome web browser

Is that possible?

Regards

Very interesting use case!

Here you can find a chat demo using mqtt.cool (probably you are already aware of it).

Consider that mqtt.cool has been designed exactly to act as a web gateway, either on the internet or in a private cloud, for any mqtt broker of your choice, therefore your idea fits perfectly.

Please let us know how we could help you with this scenario.
