MQTT Client unable to connect to AWS IoT MQTT Broker

0

I'm unable to connect my C# code to AWS IoT MQTT Broker, however I'm able to connect using AWS MQTT Client to MQTT broker. I'm using M2MQTT as the MQTT Client in my C# code (https://www.nuget.org/packages/M2Mqtt). Note that .pfx file is created using openSSL using the certificate and private key downloaded from AWS IoT. The certificate is activated and attached to a thing. The rootca.crt is Amazon's root CA.

I keep getting error at Client.Connect(clientId)

"{uPLibrary.Networking.M2Mqtt.Exceptions.MqttCommunicationException: Exception of type 'uPLibrary.Networking.M2Mqtt.Exceptions.MqttCommunicationException' was thrown. at uPLibrary.Networking.M2Mqtt.MqttClient.SendReceive(Byte[] msgBytes, Int32 timeout) at uPLibrary.Networking.M2Mqtt.MqttClient.Connect(String clientId, String username, String password, Boolean willRetain, Byte willQosLevel, Boolean willFlag, String willTopic, String willMessage, Boolean cleanSession, UInt16 keepAlivePeriod) at uPLibrary.Networking.M2Mqtt.MqttClient.Connect(String clientId)

Below is my code

private const string IotEndpoint = "xxvf6ihlpxlxf6.iot.us-east-2.amazonaws.com";

    private const int BrokerPort = 8883;  

    private const string Topic = "GaneshM2MQTT/#";  
     var clientCert = new X509Certificate2("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GnuWin32\\bin\\XXXX.pfx", "XXX#");  

            var caCert = X509Certificate.CreateFromCertFile("C:\\Program Files (x86)\\GnuWin32\\bin\\rootca.crt");  

            // create the client  
            var client = new MqttClient(IotEndpoint, BrokerPort, true, caCert, clientCert, MqttSslProtocols.TLSv1_2);  
            //message to publish - could be anything  
            var message = "Test message";  
            string clientId = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();  
            //client naming has to be unique if there was more than one publisher  
            client.Connect(clientId);  
            //publish to the topic  
            client.Publish(Topic, Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(message));

I also looked at this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47793400/getting-authenticationexception-when-connect-m2mqtt-mqttclient-to-mosquitto-brok/48414980#48414980 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43993106/a-call-to-sspi-failed-see-inner-exception-paho-m2mqtt-dot-netc-client-ssl-tl?rq=1 where they fixed the issue by converting .crt to .pfx but in my case its Amazon Root CA , I'm not sure how I can convert to .pfx without private key. This looks like an authentication issue but not sure what is wrong.

Struggling with this issue for a while. Any help or implementation is appreciated.

Another Update
Microsoft Telnet> open a2vf6ihlpxlxf6.iot.us-east-2.amazonaws.com 8883
Connecting To a2vf6ihlpxlxf6.iot.us-east-2.amazonaws.com...

Connection to host lost.

What could be the problem?

Just in case you still looking for an answer
You MUST make a change in policy to allow to connect
The easiest one.
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"iot:Publish",
"iot:Subscribe",
"iot:Receive",
"iot:Connect"
],
"Resource": "*"

Quick and speedy response. Question asked in Jan 2018 and response in June 2018. Does aws ever answer question in a day or two.. ? Disappointing..
