Salt problem

[John]

I'm trying to a meeting based on the documentation and always get the "Failed Checksum Error." So I decided to try changing the security salt and now the demos don't even work, they even generate the failed checksum error. I reset the checksum using the standard method:

sudo bbb-conf --setsalt mychecksumvaluewashere

sudo bbb-conf --clean

sudo bbb-conf --check

I even updated the salt value in here as it doesn't appear to get updated with the above commands: /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/demo/bbb_api_conf.jsp

When I switch the salt back to the original value and restart, all works fine. Any thoughts?

Hi,

Did you setup a development environment and running bigbluebutton-web?

Compare the salt in /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/demo/bbb_api_conf.jsp
and /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties.

If on a development env and running "grails -Dserver.port=8888
run-war", compare bbb_api_conf.jsp to
bigbluebutton-web/grails-app/conf/bigbluebutton.properties.

Also, when changing values in
bigbluebutton-web/grails-app/conf/bigbluebutton.properties, make sure
you do "grails clean" first then "grails -Dserver.port=888 run-war" as
grails caches the properties file.

Just add to Richard's comments, the command

   sudo bbb-conf --setsalt mychecksumvaluewashere 

does not change the value for the shared secret (salt) for the API Demos in

  /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/demo/bbb_api.jsp

Regards,... Fred

One of the developers helped me out - coding error on my part. Once again, rockin' bigbluebutton support.

Thanks,

hi dear ,

kindly check the bigbluebutton.properties files.some time salt not set in this file via bbb-conf --setsalt

so you have to write in it manually in 

/var/lib/tomcat/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties

regards ,
