Connecting CC3200 to IBM Watson IoT Broker doesn't work

[guycs 1]

Hello, I am trying to connect the CC3200 to the Watson IoT by using the CC3200 RegisteredWIFI example.

I have done it according to the following recipe including modifying the OrganizationID, typeID and deviceID. and authentication token to fit the device that was created on the Watson IoT

char organization[] = "39hbk4";              //"<replacewithorg>";
char typeId[] = "iotsample-ti-energia";
char pubtopic[] = "iot-2/evt/status/fmt/json";
char subTopic[] = "iot-2/cmd/+/fmt/json";
char deviceId[] = "000000000000";
char clientId[64];

char mqttAddr[IBMSERVERURLLEN];
int mqttPort = 1883;

// Authentication method. Should be use-toke-auth
// When using authenticated mode
char authMethod[] = "use-token-auth";
// The auth-token from the information above
char authToken[] = "6cigl3dCHPN3DGec3Q";  

But the connection is failing as client.connect(connectData) returns -1 

Here is what I am getting on the serial monitor:

While looking for an answer I have seem this post from TI support engineer saying there may be some kind of change from IBM side that breaks the connection

Not sure if this is a temporary server down or whether IBM changed something in the requirements (for example, only secured connection).

In any way, I tried the same code with a different MQTT broker who is working with the same port 1883 and it works (at least the connection).

You can try on your side as well. It is "iot.eclipse.org".

 

 

Did anyone succeeded to make it work and can help? 

Thanks

PS: I am able to activate the quickstart version
