RE: Issue while establishing connection with MQTT broker using nRF9151

So the devzone ticket tls-error-mqtt---error-in-mqtt_connect--111 helped us and we are able to solve the issue by moving struct mqtt_utf8 password, user_name; to global space.

Thanks,

Hi Øyvind,

We could resolve the -114 issue with the shared config but now observing another errors while establishing the connection with the broker. We are using the base code from lesson-4-excercise-1 with some changes as mentioned below.

Errors are as below:

[00:00:00.289,367] <inf> Lesson4_Exercise1: Initializing modem library
[00:00:00.557,281] <inf> Lesson4_Exercise1: Connecting to LTE network

[00:03:44.340,118] <inf> Lesson4_Exercise1: Reconnecting in 60 seconds...

The changes made in sample are as below

In prj.conf

CONFIG_MQTT_BROKER_HOSTNAME="custom_broker_ipv6_addr"
CONFIG_MQTT_PUB_TOPIC="/device_id/data"
CONFIG_MQTT_BROKER_PORT=1883

In mqtt_connection.c

static struct mqtt_utf8 password = MQTT_UTF8_LITERAL("custom_password");
static struct mqtt_utf8 user_name = MQTT_UTF8_LITERAL("custom_username");
client->password = &password;
client->user_name = &user_name;

Can you please let us know why this is happening?

Thanks,

Vivek

Hello,

Can you please try enabling the following in the sample provided in lesson-4-exercise-1 prj.conf, as these are already set in the Modem Shell sample:

CONFIG_NET_IPV4=y
CONFIG_NET_IPV6=y

Kind regards,
Øyvind
