Create MQTT Broker from API

[webfrank]

Hi,

  I would like to create a MQTT Broker from API but I need to enter also authentication settings which seems are not supported by the API.

I'm using Python SDK with the following payload:

{
  "networkId": "L_xxxxxx",
  "name": "API",
  "host": "mqtt.example.com",
  "port": 1883,
  "security": {
    "mode": "none"
  },
  "authentication": {
    "username": "abcdefgh",
    "password": "1234567890"
  }
}

The MQTT Broker got created but credentials are not stored. Same happens if I lately update the broker.

The response from the server is

{
  "authentication": {  
    "username": null  
  },  
  "host": "mqtt.example.com",  
  "id": "121212121212121",  
  "name": "API",  
  "port": 1883,  
  "security": {  
    "mode": "none",  
    "tls": {  
      "hasCaCertificate": false,  
      "verifyHostnames": true  
    }  
  }  
}

Does it work if you do it via the dashboard?

Hi, yes from dashboard is working.

As a test, if you create a broker with password manually, then do 

/networks/{networkId}/mqttBrokers/{mqttBrokerId}

 on it, does it return the password?

That'd confirm the API doesn't support setting/reading the password - whether that is the correct behaviour is another matter, IMO logically it should allow it, I'd open a case with tech support.

Hi, password is never returned.
