Moodle/Connect Pro : Possible to enter meeting with API session?

Hello everyone

We are building a solution using Moodle and Adobe Connect Pro.  Basically, a course, user, event will be synched between both platforms for ease of use and to gain Connect pro's benefits.

Here is my dilemma.

When login through the API (and getting the OK message showing everything ran smoothly) as a student and then clicking on a link to access a virtual classroom, my user gets prompted to login again.  Should'nt those infos already be in the browser session?  I mean, it is working properly but seems to me as a step too many as I already logged him just before doing a redirect to the meeting.

Do you force users/teachers to "re-authenticate" or is there some workaround I could use to make this more elegant?

Thanks in advance

Re: Moodle/Connect Pro : Possible to enter meeting with API session?

So basically I should end up with something like this when entering a meeting from my app?

https://connectpro$account_id.acrobat.com/r80183687/&session=Sbreezo4butxint4q7xoei

Gives me "Not found, The selected resource does not exist."

This
https://connectpro$account_id.acrobat.com/r80183687/

Loads the meeting but asks if user is a guest and the credentials again...

Am I missing something?

Try this instead:

https://connectpro$account_id.acrobat.com/r80183687/?session=Sbreezo4butxint4q7xoei

Use a '?' instead of '&' because the server doesn't know that its the query string.

Thanks for your answer.

I initially tried that and ended up with the same result.

Is there another way to bypass the login screen using the credentials I have on my end and I used to succesfully log on with the API? 

Any way to create the necessary cookie on your server so that my users don't have to login twice?

I've done this that you coment by the SSO authentication, in the Adobe Connect Pro manual say in some chapter about them.

In fact, only have to change and add in custom.ini some parameters (HTTPHEADERAUTH), and change some lines ( all of then are so explain in this chapter ), after that in your webapp implement the call to login_external function that bypass the authentication of the ACP server.

Thanks agtdino for your answer.

Any way to accomplish this using a version hosted on Adobe's servers? 
How can I access custom.ini?

Thanks in advance

Hi there!
On a hosted Connect Account it is not possible to access the custom.ini ...
When you have your own Connect Server, you will find the custom.ini within the breeze folder on your harddisk.

Re: Moodle/Connect Pro : Possible to enter meeting with API session?

We do a similiar thing here.
When you login the user with the API session, you get back the session id for that user.

You then set a BREEZESESSION cookie in the users browser and after that redirect him to the url of the meeting. That way, his browser will send the session cookie to connect when entering the meeting and thats it.

If the server, the user interacts with is not the connect server, you have to use a wildcard cookie because you cannot set cookies for other servers for security reasons. But you can set a domain cookie e.g. on www.domain.com you can set a cookie .domain.com wich will be send to both www.domain.com and connect.domain.com

Re: Moodle/Connect Pro : Possible to enter meeting with API session?

Can anybody share some insight on this please:

Using the XML Api, I was able to create a meeting and generate urls.

One for organiser similar to "https://connectpro$account_id.acrobat.com/r80183687/?session=Sbreezo4butxint4q7xoei"

Another for guests/attendees similar to "https://connectpro$account_id.acrobat.com/r80183687/"

All these are good. Is there a way to dynamically pass guest/invitee name without requiring to enter name through the textbox?

Is there an options to pass attendee/guest name in the URL? Other options?

Thanks!

For sending guest nam in url, here the solution:

https://connectpro$account_id.acrobat.com/r80183687/?guestName=yourname
