Hi,

@raxsix you might want to have a look at this thread: [MQTT Client Support](http://mangoh.discourse.group/t/mqtt-client-support/160)  
There are other people having the same issues on there. I am using Legato 17.09 and it is working fine. Are you using Developer studio?

@lyao If I understand it correctly, `clientID` takes a string of your choosing as input. In the example code is is using the device’s IMEI number plus “-pub” at the end. So for example `123451612-pub`
