MQTT E:LockBoxKey and Cert Password Error
Hi,
we encountered that MQTT is reported as 'closed' by the ThinClients.
A restart of the mqtt service will lead to following log entries:
12.05.2022 18:11:38 [6] E:Exception caughtUnable to connect to the remote server

The older log is showing the step from working to not working. There was no change on the system during this time.

A roll-back of the server into an earlier version is not bringing back a working mqtt service.
Any suggestions or hints? Thanks!

Hi, I too ran into a similar problem after upgrading to 3.6.1 from 3.5.1.
So far my work around to at least get MQTT functioning again was to edit the mqtt conf file in Notepad running as Administrator
C:\Program Files\DELL\WMS\wmsmqtt\mqtt.conf
1. First comment out these lines:
# sslport 8443
# server_cert_path certSsl
# server_cert_auth UGFzc3dvcmQ5MTE=
2. Check if you are missing this line in the conf file and if so readd it
lockbox_url https://localhost:9443/lockbox/
3. Restart the MQTT service or reboot the server and check your clients afterwards
It seems that the upgrade breaks the service. I installed the newest version on a clean test server and had no problems (of course) and both the MQTT and Secure MQTT service are running.
This isn't a permanent fix but will get your clients talking again.

Thanks!
After commenting out the 3 lines (lockbox_url was already in the conf file) and rebooting the machine, the service is back and working.
