ERROR: 'Error parsing connection string. Please make sure you wrap the connection string with double quotes when supplying it via CLI'

[RonMatsu]

I'm getting this error no matter what I try with the command 'iotedgehubdev setup -c ""'.

I'm using double quotes. Even the auto generated command issued by clicking "Setup IoT Edge Simulator" in VS code still generates the error.

command as below but I changed access keys and device names to 'X' chars for privacy:
$ sudo iotedgehubdev setup -c "HostName=XXXXXXX.azure-devices.net;DeviceId=XXXXXXX;x509=true"

auto generated:
$ sudo "iotedgehubdev" setup -c "HostName=XXXXXXX.azure-devices.net;DeviceId=XXXXXXX;x509=true" -i "HostName=XXXXXXX.azure-devices.net;SharedAccessKeyName=iothubowner;SharedAccessKey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX="

Thanks.

Hi @RonMatsu,

The iotedgehubdev tool only supports shared access key authentication to the device in IoT Hub.

Looks like you have created a Edge device entity with X.509 cert. Can you try to create Edge device with Shared Access Key and see if it works?

Your device connection string is -
HostName=XXXXXXX.azure-devices.net;DeviceId=XXXXXXX;x509=true
