How Do I verify the Security Salt

[itservices]

Hi,

I installed BBB and trying to integrate with Moodle.

I've generated new security salt and got it copied into the bbb.

Is there a way for me to verify that the security salt in bbb is same
to the one i have in moodle.

Actually, what command to i use to view the SS in bbb.

I have read things like:

'You'll find the security salt in the file
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/classes/
bigbluebutton.properties
Look for the line
beans.dynamicConferenceService.securitySalt=<value_of_salt>'

I am very new to ubuntu, so what do i type/command to get to

/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/classes/
bigbluebutton.properties
and look for line
beans.dynamicConferenceService.securitySalt=<value_of_salt>'


I used VM instalation.

Thank you.

from the command line interface on your ubuntu bbb VM:

cat /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/classes/
bigbluebutton.properties | grep securitySalt

That will dump the contents of the properties file and then search and display the line that contains the security salt.

You actually don't need to generate a salt but since you have generated one, it means you need to replace the salt on the BBB with the new one you generated for moodle integration.

Yes, I have done the replacement but keep on getting the error message
that my subsription has eighet expired or i'm using an incorrect
parameter. (Since i set up my own server using the dual code plug in,
i'm not sure if this has to do with dual code or my the security
salt.) This is why i intend to verify that the salt at both ends are
same. I've tried the suggestion from Mich but got an 'access denied'
responce. What else can i do?

If i am not asking too much, are u happy if i call and you to guide
over the phone or skype (at time best convi for you)?

Many thanks.

If your running BigBlueButton 0.70, the following command will give
you the security salt

cat /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/classes/bigbluebutton.properties
| grep Salt

If your running BigBlueButton 0.71-beta, we've made it easier with
"bbb-conf --salt", which returns the URL and salt for setting up an
integration with the BigBlueButton server.

Regards,... Fred

Does 0.71-beta runs on VM?

Also why would the command

cat /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/bigbluebutton/WEB-INF/classes/
bigbluebutton.proper­ties
| grep Salt

give me access denied responce?

thanks

you need to run it with a root permition. So just add sudo cat /var.......   Yes 0.71 runs on VM, i run it on virtualbox
