Re: [mosquitto-dev] Using mosquitto C client for token based authenticat

[Nicholas Humfrey <njh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I haven't used Watson IOT before but found this documentation page:

https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/IoT/devices/mqtt.html#mqtt


User name: The user name is the same value for all devices: 
use-token-auth. This value causes Watson IoT Platform to use the 
device's authentication token, which is specified as the password.

Password: The password for each device is the unique authentication 
token that was generated when the device was registered with Watson IoT 
Platform.


So based on that the code should look something like this:

    mosquitto_username_pw_set(mosq, "use-token-auth", token);
