TLS issue - WORKER to AWS IoT Core

EDIT: THIS WORKS NOW! Just follow the steps bellow... EDIT: Make sure the compatibility_date = "2024-09-30" in your wrangler.toml is at least september 2024. I am trying to communicate to the AWS IoT core HTTPS endpoint through a cloudflare worker (using hono). I created a certificate and I tested successfully sending a message with curl and the downloaded certificates - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/http.html

curl --tlsv1.2 \
    --cacert Amazon-root-CA-1.pem \
    --cert device.pem.crt \
    --key private.pem.key \
    --request POST \
    --data "{ \"message\": \"Hello, world\" }" \
    "https://IoT_data_endpoint:8443/topics/topic?qos=1"

curl --tlsv1.2 \
    --cacert Amazon-root-CA-1.pem \
    --cert device.pem.crt \
    --key private.pem.key \
    --request POST \
    --data "{ \"message\": \"Hello, world\" }" \
    "https://IoT_data_endpoint:8443/topics/topic?qos=1"

Then I configured the binding with wrangler

pnpx wrangler mtls-certificate upload --cert device.pem.crt --key private.pem.key --name AWS_IOT

pnpx wrangler mtls-certificate upload --cert device.pem.crt --key private.pem.key --name AWS_IOT

And then I configured an endpoint in hono

iotPublish.post("/", async (c) => {
  try {
    let topic = "test";
    let message = { message: "hello" };

    return await c.env.AWS_IOT.fetch(
      `https://xxxxxx.iot.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com:8443/topics/topic?qos=1`,
      {
        method: "POST",

        body: JSON.stringify(message),
      }
    );
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
    return Response.json({ error: JSON.stringify(e) }, { status: 500 });
  }
});

iotPublish.post("/", async (c) => {
  try {
    let topic = "test";
    let message = { message: "hello" };

    return await c.env.AWS_IOT.fetch(
      `https://xxxxxx.iot.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com:8443/topics/topic?qos=1`,
      {
        method: "POST",

        body: JSON.stringify(message),
      }
    );
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
    return Response.json({ error: JSON.stringify(e) }, { status: 500 });
  }
});

The result is always

{
  "message": "Missing authentication",
  "traceId": "8c6b18f4-b3d5-42c7-8edb-e2b0bbc09ad3"
}

{
  "message": "Missing authentication",
  "traceId": "8c6b18f4-b3d5-42c7-8edb-e2b0bbc09ad3"
}

Edit: you should get

{"message":"OK","traceId":"f6353148-67b1-707f-c50c-40e723b4c0d4"}

{"message":"OK","traceId":"f6353148-67b1-707f-c50c-40e723b4c0d4"}

Enjoy

You're testing on a deployed worker, I assume? and you configured the binding in your wrangler.toml? https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/bindings/mtls/

Yes and yes. I heard that might be an issue with the port. Did you manage to test it @Chaika ? Reference experience form another use https://community.cloudflare.com/t/tls-issue-workers-to-aws-iot-core/631845/5 @Chaika any news on this? @Community Champion Anyone can help with this?

Please do not ping community members for non-moderation reasons. Doing so will not solve your issue faster and will make people less likely to want to help you.

You might have luck if you update your compatibility date: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/configuration/compatibility-dates/#allow-specifying-a-custom-port-when-making-a-subrequest-with-the-fetch-api Meaning this should now be supported I think

Thank you and sorry for the ping... I should have read the rules before doing that.

DaniFoldi•4mo ago

Did that solve the issue you were having?

apolodoroOP•4mo ago

Could it be related to this https://community.cloudflare.com/t/tls-issue-workers-to-aws-iot-core/631845/5 ? Sadly still the same result: { "message": "Missing authentication", "traceId": "8c6b18f4-b3d5-42c7-8edb-e2b0bbc09ad3" } ... Could it be related to this https://community.cloudflare.com/t/tls-issue-workers-to-aws-iot-core/631845/5 ?

originally, that was indeed the case, fetch ignored custom ports and always went to :443 for https there is a compat flag that is enabled by default now, which should let you fetch custom ports

~~That sounds like an error coming from AWS, as in the port that is being fetched but your authentication is wrong.~~ ~~I suspect AWS IoT needs some auth to send a message, you can't just hit it with an unauthenticated POST request~~ ~~Yeah, you definitely need (and are missing) auth, see the docs page:~~ https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/apireference/API_iotdata_Publish.html and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/protocols.html#protocol-port-mapping

Requires permission to access the Publish action. HTTPS Publish only X.509 client certificate 8443 N/A~~

Scratch that, I should have read your original post better - but still yeah, the fetch is working but something's wrong with auth for sure. Maybe a bad certificate?

apolodoroOP•4mo ago

Actually the solution did work! It was a fault in my code that i didint change back after testing... I changed the description so that if someone stumbles here understands that it works now

Neat! Glad you got it working
