node-red-contrib-aws-iot-custom-auth 0.2.0

An IoT aws-thing with the Custom Authorizer node for Node-RED

npm install node-red-contrib-aws-iot-custom-auth

Support ThingShadow and MQTT protocol with Certificate Store by clientId (thingName) or using Custom Authorizer

Install

Run the following command in the root directory of your Node-RED install

npm install node-red-contrib-aws-iot-custom-auth

Usage with custom authorizer

Use "Custom Authorizer" type for your device and specify:

• Custom Authorizer Name (optional)
• Token Key
• Token Value
• Custom Authorizer Signature

You don't have to provide certificated in this case.

See more at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/custom-auth.html

Usage with certificates

• Install your AWS certificates into your local folder where node-red can reach your directory

  Example:

    /root/.agent/certs/-
                    |--YourThingName.private.key
                    |--YourThingName.cert.pem
                    |--root-CA.crt

YourThingName is the AWS Thing name what is the value you keyin when creating your thing/device.

• Setup the node-red-contrib-aws-iot-custom-auth node with AWS Certs path pointed to /root/.agent/certs/

  Example:

    awsCerts = /root/.agent/certs/

• The final configuration will be used in the node-red-contrib-aws-iot-custom-auth code look likes:

    keyPath : '/root/.agent/certs/YourThingName.private.key',
    certPath : '/root/.agent/certs/YourThingName.cert.pem',
    caPath : '/root/.agent/certs/root-CA.crt',
    clientId : YourThingName,
    host : <YourAWSIoTCustomEndpoint>
