I am writing an Android application to connect a sensor to an AWS IoT service.
I have been provided with the X.509 certificate, a pair of public-private key, clientEndpoint, etc.
I am trying to follow the AWS's Sample code (see here).
The instructions are clear, but I don't want to generate the certificate and the keys (I already have them).
Below is the code snippet:
// Create a new private key and certificate. This call
// creates both on the server and returns them to the
// device.
CreateKeysAndCertificateRequest createKeysAndCertificateRequest = new CreateKeysAndCertificateRequest();
createKeysAndCertificateRequest.setSetAsActive(true);
final CreateKeysAndCertificateResult createKeysAndCertificateResult;
createKeysAndCertificateResult = mIotAndroidClient.createKeysAndCertificate(createKeysAndCertificateRequest);
Log.i(LOG_TAG,"Cert ID: " +createKeysAndCertificateResult.getCertificateId() +" created.");
// store in keystore for use in MQTT client
// saved as alias "default" so a new certificate isn't
// generated each run of this application
AWSIotKeystoreHelper.saveCertificateAndPrivateKey(certificateId,createKeysAndCertificateResult.getCertificatePem(),createKeysAndCertificateResult.getKeyPair().getPrivateKey(),
keystorePath, keystoreName, keystorePassword);
// load keystore from file into memory to pass on
// connection
clientKeyStore = AWSIotKeystoreHelper.getIotKeystore(certificateId,keystorePath, keystoreName, keystorePassword);
How can I use the existing certificates files instead of generating new certificate and keys?
Thank you
