      • An IoT Hub connection string with the following format:
        • HostName=<Host Name>;SharedAccessKeyName=<Key Name>;SharedAccessKey=<SAS Key>
      • An IoT Hub's Event Hub-compatible connection string with the following format:
        • Endpoint=<ENDPOINT>;SharedAccessKeyName=<Key Name>;SharedAccessKey=<KEYVALUE>
      • An IoT Hub device connection string with the following format:
        • HostName=<Host Name>;DeviceId=<Device Name>;SharedAccessKey=<Device Key>
        • Note: If using MQTT as the protocol (next section), this is the connection string format that must be used.
