Establishing HTTP-based Connection¶

This section describes the process of establishing the HTTP protocol-based connection.

Basic Process¶

When a device is connected over HTTP, device authentication is needed to obtain the device session ID, which will be used later for the reporting of measurement point data.

Device Authentication¶

Request Sample¶

POST /auth/{ProductKey}/{DeviceKey}
Host: {HTTP-Broker-URL}
Content-Type: application/json
body: {
    "signMethod":"sha256",
    "sign":"bd931ad96c9977af9aae01f17efd30e609a0fe5ed3358f7ca4a9e6a51482160b",
    "lifetime":300000
}

Parameter Description¶
Parameter	Description
POST	The request method. Only supports POST.
/auth/{ProductKey}/{DeviceKey}	The URL used for authentication. {ProductKey} and {DeviceKey} are the product key and device key of the device respectively. You can obtain the two keys by logging in to EnOS Management Console and navigating to Device Management > Device Assets. For more details, see Retrieving the Device Triple Information.
Host: {HTTP-Broker-URL}	The HTTP Broker URL. For information about the HTTP broker URL of your EnOS instance, log in to EnOS Management Console and select Help > Environment Information.
Content-Type: application/json	The encoding format of the uplink data sent by the device to EnOS. It should be application/json during device authentication.
body: {“signMethod”:”sha256”, “sign”:”bd931ad96c9977af9aae01f17efd30e609a0fe5ed3358f7ca4a9e6a51482160b”, “lifetime”:”300000”}	The device authentication-related information in JSON format. See the table below for the parameter descriptions.

Device Authentication Parameter Description¶
Parameter	Mandatory/Optional	Description
signMethod	Mandatory	The signature algorithm. Only supports sha256.
lifetime	Mandatory	The time used to determine the state of the device, calculated in ms. It is 300000 ms (5 min.) by default. If the device does not report data to EnOS within the time length specified by `lifetime`, the device will need to be re-authenticated to obtain a new session ID.
sign	Mandatory	The device signature. See the below on how to form the signature.

Device Signature Computing Method¶

Generate a string for the device signature by concatenating the following fields and their values according the order listed below.
- deviceKey: The device key of the device.
- lifetime: The time used to determine the state of the device.
- productKey: The product key of the device.
- method: The signature algorithm, with the value sha256.
For example, with the following device parameter values:
- deviceKey=dK987654
- lifetime=300000
- productKey=pK11111
- signMethod=sha256
The concatenated string will be: deviceKeydK987654lifetime300000productKeypK11111signMethodsha256
Append the device secret of the device to the end of the concatenated string. You can obtain the device secret by logging in to EnOS Management Console and navigating to Device Management > Device Assets.

For example, with the device secret being ds54321, the new concatenated string will be: deviceKeydK987654lifetime300000productKeypK11111signMethodsha256ds54321
Use the SHA256 algorithm to encrypt the string, and convert the string to uppercase to get sign.

In the above instance, the calculation method for sign can be expressed by the following expression: sign=toUpperCase(SHA256(deviceKeydK987654lifetime300000productKeypK11111signMethodsha256ds54321))

Note

When appending the device secret to the end of the string in Step 2, do not add the parameter name deviceSecret.
