External authentication

Nov 18, 2008 6:23 AM

Hi,
when trying to run the ExternalAuthentication app from the cocomo example the following error appears:

Error: error getting ticket: [Event type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2]
at com.adobe.rtc.session.managers::SessionManagerAdobeHostedServices/onT icketError()[C:\work\main\connect\cocomo\src\com\adobe\rtc\session\man agers\SessionManagerAdobeHostedServices.as:104]
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at com.adobe.rtc.session.sessionClasses::SingleUseTicketService/onComple te()[C:\work\main\connect\cocomo\src\com\adobe\rtc\session\sessionClas ses\SingleUseTicketService.as:99]
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/onComplete()


Obtaining the authentication key seems to work properly. And I submit this key as URL-encoded String via flashVars to the SWF.

Thanks
Marc

    What did you use to get the authentication session and generate the token ? Any particular language ?

    And, did you copy the account shared secret from the dev-portal to your application ?

    Can you get a trace of the HTTP requests going from your client to the server ? Or send us info about your account so that I can check what's happening server-side ?

    (sorry for the many questions but the stack trace doesn't really tell me much :)

    I used the code from SDK/extras/scripts/groovy/cocomo.groovy.

    def am = new AccountManager(<ACCOUNT_URL>)
    am.login(<ADOBE_DEV_ID>,<PW>)
    def session = am.getSession(<ROOM_NAME>)
    session.getAuthenticationToken(<SHARED_SECRET>, ARBITRARY_NAME_STRING, ARBITRARY_ID_STRING, ARBITRARY_ROLE_STRING)

    In flex I use the generated token and firebug shows the following request:

    GET https://na2.connectnow.acrobat.com/app/ticket?exx=<THE_TICKET>&instan ce=<MYINSTANCE>/test

    Here is the response:
    <result>
    <status code="error" subcode="for-input-string:-"test""/>
    </result>

    Ah! I think I found what the problem is!

    You are passing "test" as the role, when it should be a number (0-100).
    I should have made it more explicit in the API (and I'll fix them for next release) but the value you pass is the numeric value expected by cocomo (passed as a string, since I am just passing it as part of the ticket)

    I wish the error was more useful (it's the message from a conversion exception, and I thought I tried that ):

    Sorry for the inconvenience...

    Great, that fixed it!
    btw. Is there any mapping of roles/rights to those number values?
    When using 0 or 1 I get a Permission Exception

    Error: MessageManager.createNode : insufficient permissions to create node

    Using 100 and everything works fine.

    Thanks for the quick help...

    Hi syzygymz,

    The idea here is that only UserRoles.OWNER (which does == 100) can create new CollectionNodes in a room. Most collaboration components (Chat, SharedWhiteboard, etc) add CollectionNodes to the room when they are first run, in order to publish and subscribe data messages. Once a CollectionNode has been added to a room, it's permanently there, so subsequent users can use it without needing to be an OWNER.

    hope that helps
