Question:
Configuring a VM with contextBroker and IoTAgent

Description:
I am experimenting with fiware and I would like to setup a VM with those 2 compoments in order to have an environment to be used with IoT devices.
I have been able (let me say with a great effort) to create a VM with the two components installed, by using the base contextBroker instance and building IoTAgent from source and then installing the generated RPMs. ContextBroker seems to work fine, because I can query for entities and I get 200 status as response, but if I try to create a service in IoTA I get no response, so I guess there is something wrong with the configuration.
I'll list all the steps I have performed so troubleshooting can be easier:

Deployed the VM in fiware Lab Cloud (orion-psb-image-R4.4)
Opened ports in the security group
Associated a floating IP to the VM
Built IoTAgent
Generated and installed RPMs packages
Set PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH in .bashrc to start iotagent properly
Created the configuration file "config.json" in /etc/iot as described on GitHub (I used the example one)
Started iotagent as a service with the command sudo service iotagent start protocol
Used the figway scripts to create a service, but the script hangs

Does iotagent_protocol.conf file in /usr/local/iot/config need any particular configuration as well or is there in general something I am missing or that I could check? Also, if I check the log in /tmp I can see this message: OAuth for northbound is not configured. Is authentication needed? In GitHub README the example configuration file has no authentication.
