Paho MQTT connecting to MQXR broker - mqtt

I have a mqtt java code (paho) written which works fine when it attempts to connect to Mosquitto broker. It is able to establish, publish all messages to a topic. But with MQXR (broker included with MQ), I get
SEVERE: Could not connect to MQTT broker, requests may be lost.
Connection lost (32109) - java.io.EOFException
at org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.internal.CommsReceiver.run(CommsReceiver.java:138)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:736)

The QoS is set as 2. Not able to find why it fails in MQXR? Any thoughts is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There are two possibilities for losing connection:
1. Some MQTT Brokers will not support QOS-2 Implementations like Azure IoT-Hub. Verify that your broker supports QOS-2.
2. What Port are you connecting to?. If its SSL/TLS encrypted, then you cannot connect with unencrypted connect process. You have to enable SSL connection using bouncycastle during your connect process.

How to connect to open source emqx broker and build his own broker?

Protocol: mqtt
Version: 3.1.1
Gateway model: CloudGate Ethernet CG0102
I'm publishing json message from my gateway which is connected to an open source Emqx broker (broker.emqx.io) port 1883 for a test. I tried to consume the messages by connecting to it with MQTTX by giving the following informations: Name, Client_ID, Host, Port, Username and Password, and then giving my topic which is my_topic.
The problem is nothing appear in my MQTTX while the given broker informations are good and similar to those in my gateway. Why ?
Also I would like in the future to use my own mqtt broker mounted on my laptop ? Any simple references where I could start to make such thing ? I already use mqtt to consume messages with python from remote broker but never try to build one to receive messages from my remote gateway.
I'm working on a ubuntu bionic VM
Client_ID needs to be unique for every client, so you can not reuse Client_ID between clients.
The MQTT spec says that the broker should kick the oldest client off when a new client connects with the same Client_ID. This normally leads to a fight between the 2 clients as they both try and reconnect kicking each other off.

How to connect an existing MQTT broker with Thingsboard

I have a site using html, php, javascript and css in which I add my data from IOT devices using MQTT broker. Now I want to update it and I want to connect my MQTT broker with Thingsboard MQTT to manage the same data from both platforms. How can I succeed the communication between the two MQTT brokers?
You have to use the "Thingsboard IoT Gateway". In the Gateway you can set your external MQTT Broker and connect it over the Gateway to Thingsboard. I think thats the only solution. Just follow the instructions.

Using data flow with https on cloud foundry

I am trying to deploy a data flow server on Cloud foundry and create a simple app.
Only https end point could be exposed. I cannot enable https using this :
http://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-dataflow/docs/current-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#configuration-security-enabling-https
As ssl is managed by cf. How do I make data flow server using https?
I have this error:
dataflow:>app list
Command failed org.springframework.web.client.ResourceAccessException: I/O error on GET request for "http://dataflow-server.run.aws-usw02-pr.ice.predix.io/apps": Connect to dataflow-server.run.aws-usw02-pr.ice.predix.io:80 [dataflow-server.run.aws-usw02-pr.ice.predix.io/54.201.89.124, dataflow-server.run.aws-usw02-pr.ice.predix.io/52.88.128.224] failed: Connection refused (Connection refused); nested exception is org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to dataflow-server.run.aws-usw02-pr.ice.predix.io:80 [dataflow-server.run.aws-usw02-pr.ice.predix.io/54.201.89.124, dataflow-server.run.aws-usw02-pr.ice.predix.io/52.88.128.224] failed: Connection refused (Connection refused)
Thanks in advance.

as you already mentioned, you can not enable https at the container level inside cloudfoundry today. The traffic between the router and diego cell is not encrypted (unless you are using IPSEC).
So your dataflow server would not be configured with https, just deploy the server as it is. You should rely on your cloudfoundry install to have an open port at 443 on it's loadbalancer that forwards traffic to the router. Later CF incarnations support certificate placement at the router level.
Now, at the client (dataflow-shell) if you are using a valid certificate you don't need to do anything, but if you have a selfsigned certificate, you need to tell it to accept self-signed certificates, or skip validation all together.

Allow access for MQTT on Ubuntu Server running on Azure

I have a Ubuntu Server 14.04 running on an Azure machine. I have installed MQTT broker on this Ubuntu Server. Moreover, I have multiple ESP8266 devices that are assumed to subscribe and publish to different MQTT topics via this broker. Now my problem is that when I connect two devices to Broker, one for receiving data and other for publishing, they work fine but as I try to connect one more device to broker all devices stop working and my ESPs just display this message "trying to connect Broker" over and over again.
(In endpoints of my machine I've added 1883 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS and 22 for SSH)
My question is how I can allow multiple devices to communicate with MQTT broker running on Azure broker?
All client devices needs to have unique client ids. The situation you have described sounds exactly like what happens if all your esp8266 devices have the same hardcoded client id
MQTT clients get clientID as parameter before connection to provide uniqueness. ESP8266's has unique ChipID. So use it to hit the issue.
Here the example for Arduino firmware :
WiFiClient wifiClient;
PubSubClient mqttClient(wifiClient);
mqttClient.setServer(MQTT_BROKER, MQTT_BROKER_PORT);
String clientId = "IoTDevice-" + String(ESP.getChipId());
mqttClient.connect(clientId.c_str(), MQTT_USERNAME, MQTT_KEY);
Here is NodeMCU firmware example :
mqtt_cli:connect(MQTT_BROKER, MQTT_BROKER_PORT, 0, CALLBACK_FN);
mqtt_cli = mqtt.Client("IoTDevice-"..node.chipid(), 120, MQTT_USERNAME, MQTT_KEY);

Connection lost during mqtt connection with rabbit mq server

Actually i am using rabbit mq server and mosquitto mqtt client for the connection
but after sometime server is disconnecting from the client
and the error in not traceable.
You should check the rabbitmq log (and log configuration) and also test with different keep alive values.
