The WSO2 IoT Server is packaged with a broker profile to handle message brokering. The following section provides an alternative to using the broker profile , and guides you through using WSO2 Message Broker (WSO2 MB) to act as the MQTT broker with the WSO2 IoT Server device management profile. This is useful in a production environment where a WSO2 MB node is already in use and you want to use the WSO2 IoT Server device management profile with it.

Follow the steps below to configure WSO2 IoT Server with WSO2 MB 3.2.0 for brokering.

Download the broker-feature-installation.xml file and place it inside the <MB_HOME> directory.
Navigate to <MB_HOME> on the terminal and execute the following command. This will install the required features to the WSO2 IoT Server pack.
Code Block
mvn clean install -f broker-feature-installation.xml

Open the broker. xml file found in the <MB_HOME>/repository/conf folder and do the following:

Replace the configuration found under the <security> tag with the following configuration:

Info
This configuration configures the properties and classes required to allow devices to publish to the MQTT server.

Code Block

    <!--
     Instructs the MQTT server whether clients should always send credentials
     when establishing a connection.
     Possible values:
   		OPTIONAL: This is the default value. MQTT clients may or may not send
       credentials. If a client sends credentials server will
       validates it.
       If client doesn't send credentials then server will not
       authenticate, but allows client to establish the connection.
       This behavior adheres to MQTT 3.1 specification.
   		REQUIRED: Clients should always provide credentials when connecting.
       If client doesn't send credentials or they are invalid
       server rejects the connection.

</security>

Ensure that the hostURL property points to the key manager token endpoint.
Ensure that the deviceMgtServerURL points to the gateway endpoint.

If you have changed the default port of the broker profile, update the environment variables in following files with the correct endpoint.

- <IoTS_HOME>/bin/iot-server.sh

file and the analytics.sh file found in the <IOTS

- <IoTS_HOME>/wso2/

bin folder with the correct endpoint. Code Block

analytics/bin/wso2server.sh

Panel

title	EXAMPLE

If the port offset is increased by 3 and broker host is localhost then -Dmqtt.broker.host and - Dmqtt.broker.port environment variables in above files have to be changed as shown below:

-Dmqtt.broker.host="localhost"

- \

- -Dmqtt.broker.port="1886"

\

- \
  Info
  If you are a Window's user, environment variables needs to be changed in the .bat files listed below.
  <IoTS_HOME>/bin/iot-server.bat
  <IoTS_HOME>/wso2/analytics/bin/wso2server.bat

The default keystore used in WSO2 IoT Server has been updated from version 3.1.0 onwards. Since all servers must use the same certificate, do the following to update the keystores in WSO2 Message Broker 3.2.0.
1. Navigate to the <IoTS_HOME>/repository/resources/security directory and copy the client-truststore.jks, wso2carbon.jks, and wso2certs.jks files.
2. Get a back of the files client-truststore.jks, and wso2carbon.jks files in the <MB_HOME>/repository/resources/security directory .
3. Replace the client-truststore.jks, wso2carbon.jks, and wso2certs.jks files in the <MB_HOME>/repository/resources/security folder by pasting the files copied in step 5.a.
