We have installed Moodle on Xampp and installed BB plugin.
At plugin config need to change
   URL:
"http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/"to our server  and
Salt to be changed from default value
 Salt: f6c72afaaae95faa28c3fd90e39e7e6e

we are unable to find how to get these URL and salt, since it on Windows OS with XAMPP.

please guide how to get the URl and Salt....

Thanks

On your BigBlueButton server you run "bbb-conf --salt" to get the values that you need to put into the Moodle plugin.

Fred explains the difference between the BigBlueButton Moodle plugin and the BigBlueButton server better than I can so I'm going to quote a recent answer of his from the users group.

The BigBlueButton plugin is really just an interface (which runs in Moodle) that knows how to talk to the BigBlueButton server.  If you want to use BigBlueButton, the plugin will need a separate BigBlueButton server to communicate with.  In other words, installing the BigBlueButton plugin in your Moodle site is not the same as installing the a BigBlueButton server.

By default, the BigBlueButtonBN plugin comes pre-configured to communicate with an external test-install server, which is good for testing.  

If you are running your own Moodle server and want to have your own BigBlueButton server, you'll need to procure a separate, dedicated server and install BigBlueButton on it.

The BigBlueButton server installation instructions can be found here, http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/install/install.html.
