LDAP config Manual, 1st draft
Hi,
I made a draft of a LDAP config howto and uploaded it here for
review:
https://selma.hfmdk-frankfurt.de/howtos/OM-ldap-howto.html
I hope it's not too verbose, but since I had problems figuring out the
ldap config in OM from the docs found online I tried to write up
something in a way that even somebody like me with little ldap
experience and knowledge would've understood without having to ask
this mailing list and spend a lot of time trying to figure it out.
I already forked the OM github repo and can issue a pull request, but
I'm unsure about the preferred format of the document (XML, MD,
pdf?). Please let me know what you'd prefer. The original is in org
format but I can provide any format.
As I read about the manual draft for OM 5 on this mailing list, feel
free to incorporate this in case it isn't already present or needs
improvement. I'd be willing to do it myself if you find it useful and
someone provides access for me to the current state.

It seems you are able to understand the user is the same ... what is the
criteria?
What I can propose: you can use same criteria to generate externalId (for
ex. it can be unique email)
And some unique externatType, for this group of users

Preventing REST users from multiplying rapidly
Posted by Robert Savickas <ro...@gmail.com>.
Dear Maxim,
For some of my online apps, I have well defined databases of users with
their specific IDs. So, when I connect them to OM via REST, I assign a
modified version of their IDs to the 'externalId' parameter. That creates a
new record for the given user in the OM database. Subsequently, when the
same user connects, no new copies of the same user are created. This is
very good.
But in one app, I have the ability for guests to connect, who are not
members of my app. In that case, I initially was creating random
'externalId' values for them. I noticed that this causes OM to create a new
record in the OM database each time the same individual connects. So, I had
many copies of the same person created, cluttering my database. Not so good.
A solution I found is that for each non-member guest, I assign the same
value to the 'externalId', e.g. 'externalId': 'guest'. This seems to be
working well, and it does NOT clone the same poor individual a multitude of
times.
I just wanted to confirm with you that this would be an alright solution
and would not cause any conflicts or crashes (i.e., assigning the same
externalId for unregistered guest users).
Thank you!
Robert.

Great it is resolved :)
I would recommend to generate password from time to time (for ex. with
`apg` utility )

Re: Coturn issues, again?

Maxim,
Just an update. It all works very well now. As always, thank you for your
tips.
Turns out that the long password in file turnserver.conf for the variable
"static-auth-secret" had a trailing tab at the end of the password. That
tab was not visible with a naked eye. But when I scrolled to the end of
line, I saw that the cursor went well past the end of the password; so the
empty spaces in the end of the line were counted as part of the long
password, which, of course was wrong. This naughty invisible "bug" was
bugging the system half of the day :)

Maxim,
Merry Orthodox Christmas to you!
I think all my settings are as you describe. But I will check again.
I start all the servers as a superuser. May be that is the problem
(although I did this way previously, too)
Thank you.
Enjoy the holiday!
Robert

I also tried to put the line "user=nobody:a_new_password" in
the /etc/turnserver.conf file, as per the OM 5.0.1 instructions. But that
did not make a difference, either...
Thank you.

Coturn issues, again?
Posted by Robert Savickas <ro...@gmail.com>.
Dear Friends,
Up until now, I was running OM 5.0.0 and it ran fine.
Today, I installed OM 5.1.0 on a new server. As usual, I followed Alvaro's
excellent guides to the letter.
And, now, I am experiencing a familiar Coturn problem. Specifically, when I
connect to the OM service from computers on the same network, everything
works. But with remote computers, there is no video or sound. Everyone can
see and hear only themselves.
In the past, it was an issue with Coturn not running, or being
mis-configured. At this time; however, everything running, tomcat, kms,
coturn, are all running.
All needed ports in the firewall are open.
I checked the configurations. All correspond to what Alvaro indicates.
I noticed that OM 5.1.0 guides omit several settings that were present in
OM 5.0.0:
1) user=kurento:a_new_password in /etc/turnserver.conf;
2) DAEMON_USER="kurento" in /etc/default/kurento-media-server;
3) and turnUser="kurento:here the password you choosed for kurento in step
6 " in webapps/openmeetings/WEB-INF/classes/openmeetings.properties.
I tried setting those three items, like it used to be in 5.0.0, but that
did not make any difference.
May be someone else ran into the issue and could advise me?
Thank you very much.
Robert.

You are right, but who said anything about group moderator? I was
talking about the room moderator ...

Hello All,
We have public holidays here in Russia, so please expect some delays in
answers :)
>> Hi @Max, can this option be moved to settings of the room moderator?
This is a system global setting, why should the group moderator be able to
change it?
What if the moderator of one group will turn it ON while moderator of
another group will turn it OFF ...

Screen share: immediately show?
Posted by Robert Savickas <ro...@gmail.com>.
Dear Maxim,
If we are having a meeting and one of the users decides to share his
screen, other users can not see the screen, unless they click on the small
screen-share symbol in the top right corner.
I think I saw this question already asked; however, I could not find it
among OM-related emails: is it possible to have the shared screen pop up
automatically on every one's OM session when one user shares his screen?
Thank you.
Robert.
