Detailed Description

Definition for the Azure IoT Hub client.

Note

The IoT Hub MQTT protocol is described at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-mqtt-support

You MUST NOT use any symbols (macros, functions, structures, enums, etc.) prefixed with an underscore ('_') directly in your application code. These symbols are part of Azure SDK's internal implementation; we do not document these symbols and they are subject to change in future versions of the SDK which would break your code.

		char *	mqtt_password,
		size_t	mqtt_password_size,
		size_t *	out_mqtt_password_length
	)

Gets the MQTT password.

Note

The MQTT password must be an empty string if X509 Client certificates are used. Use this API only when authenticating with SAS tokens.

This API should be used in conjunction with az_iot_hub_client_sas_get_signature().

Parameters

[in]	client	The az_iot_hub_client to use for this call.
[in]	base64_hmac_sha256_signature	The Base64 encoded value of the HMAC-SHA256(signature, SharedAccessKey). The signature is obtained by using az_iot_hub_client_sas_get_signature().
[in]	token_expiration_epoch_time	The time, in seconds, from 1/1/1970. It MUST be the same value passed to az_iot_hub_client_sas_get_signature().
[in]	key_name	The Shared Access Key Name (Policy Name). This is optional. For security reasons we recommend using one key per device instead of using a global policy key.
[out]	mqtt_password	A char buffer with sufficient capacity to hold the MQTT password.
[in]	mqtt_password_size	The size, in bytes of mqtt_password.
[out]	out_mqtt_password_length	[nullable] Contains the string length, in bytes, of mqtt_password. Can be NULL.

Precondition

client must not be NULL.

token_expiration_epoch_time must be greater than 0.

base64_hmac_sha256_signature must be a valid span of size greater than 0.

mqtt_password must not be NULL.

mqtt_password_size must be greater than 0.

Returns

An az_result value indicating the result of the operation.

Return values

AZ_OK	The operation was successful. In this case, mqtt_password will contain a null-terminated string with the password that needs to be passed to the MQTT client.
AZ_ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_SPACE	The mqtt_password does not have enough size.

az_iot_hub_client_sas_get_signature()

AZ_NODISCARD az_result az_iot_hub_client_sas_get_signature	(	az_iot_hub_client const *	client,
		uint64_t	token_expiration_epoch_time,
		az_span	signature,
		az_span *	out_signature
	)

Gets the Shared Access clear-text signature.

The application must obtain a valid clear-text signature using this API, sign it using HMAC-SHA256 using the Shared Access Key as password then Base64 encode the result.

Use the following APIs when the Shared Access Key is available to the application or stored within a Hardware Security Module. The APIs are not necessary if X509 Client Certificate Authentication is used.

Note

This API should be used in conjunction with az_iot_hub_client_sas_get_password().

A typical flow for using these two APIs might look something like the following (note the size of buffers and non-SDK APIs are for demo purposes only):

const char* const signature_str = "TST+J9i1F8tE6dLYCtuQcu10u7umGO+aWGqPQhd9AAo=";
az_span signature = AZ_SPAN_FROM_STR(signature_str);
az_iot_hub_client_sas_get_signature(&client, expiration_time_in_seconds, signature, &signature);
 
char decoded_sas_key[128] = { 0 };
base64_decode(base64_encoded_sas_key, decoded_sas_key);
 
char signed_bytes[256] = { 0 };
hmac_256(az_span_ptr(signature), az_span_size(signature), decoded_sas_key, signed_bytes);
 
char signed_bytes_base64_encoded[256] = { 0 };
base64_encode(signed_bytes, signed_bytes_base64_encoded);
 
char final_password[512] = { 0 };
az_iot_hub_client_sas_get_password(client, expiration_time_in_seconds,
  AZ_SPAN_FROM_STR(signed_bytes_base64_encoded), final_password, sizeof(final_password), NULL);
 
mqtt_set_password(&mqtt_client, final_password);
