AWS IoT basicPubSub.py example - clarification on certificates (CLI)

I am been trying to get AWS IoT working and just keep hitting problems, errors and not getting anywhere. I am trying to use the AWS IoT basicPubSub.py script to test the connection, but getting an error:



 ssl.SSLError: unknown error (_ssl.c:3946)


I have been through all the certificates several times, but want to check/fully understand if I can pull the rootCAFile, certfile and privatekey from the command line utility and/or from the IAM interface? I have download each piece of information and stored in local files.



python basicPubSub.py -e <endpoint> -r <rootCAFilePath> -c <certFilePath> -k <privateKeyFilePath> 


The main aim is just to ensure everything is correct or I have another problem something else? Is there a way to test each certificate to ensure each file is correct and has the right information?

  • I recommend you try using a client such as MQTT.fx to check your certificate and AWS IoT policy configuration. Once you have this sorted out then try the python example.

I am not sure how I managed to fix this problem, I tried the following items to fix the problem:




  1. Re-created all the certificates

  2. Re-installated CLI using sudo

  3. Installed ssl (sudo apt-get install -y libssl-dev)


I going to do a fresh installation on my RPi and repeat the steps to understand how this was resolved and fixed.
