| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Broker Endpoint | IP address, URL or host name | Specifies the IP address,
URL or Hostname of the broker. |
| Client ID | text string | Identifies the client to the
server. If not specified, the system generates a unique Client ID. No other client should currently use or in the future use this unique string. If two devices share the same Client ID, Status reports {down} or {fault}, unexpected behaviors happen and communication issues between client and broker result. |
| Broker Port | number | Specifies the port number of
the broker. |
| Callback Router (available under AwsIoTAuthenticator from the palette) | additional properties | Directs a client request
to an appropriate function. A separate topic documents these router
functions. |
| Certificate Alias | drop-down list | Selects the name of the client certificate, which secures
the connection between the client and broker. For AWS IoT devices, the registration process creates this certificate, which you download from the AWS IoT portal and import into the User Key Store. |
