Re: [kura-dev] mandatory MQTT username/password?
Hello Benjamin,

This is simply a legacy feature that was included when we first forked our code base for the Kura project. As you say, it is generally not an issue as brokers not requiring authentication will ignore the default username/password, so we haven’t changed the requirement. We do need to review this requirement if you are having problems with AWS. If you have a patch we would certainly review it. 

Thanks,
--Dave

Hi,

Is there a reason why the MqttDataTransport must be given a username and password? While this has not given me any trouble in the past since most "unsecure" brokers would just ignore the given credentials, I have troubles connecting to AWS IOT since the dummy username/password actually does cause an authentication issue :(

FWIW I am happy to propose a patch if you think it's worth fixing.

Thanks
