Search participants and add phone numbers from a unique contacts list

mapildo · May 19, 2023, 1:19pm

Hello guys,

I’m new to the Jitsi environment. I’ve installed a month ago and it’s pretty amazing. My situation is this:

I have a Ubuntu server 20.04.6 LTS with Jigasi connected to my Asterisk server working. The video conferencing is also working. I’m able to call to my SIP accounts from any conference, and the extensions can join the conference from Asterisk. I intend to use Jitsi with multi-tenancy.

On my asterisk server i have an extensions lists which i intend to use as my contact list for each tenancy.

During some meeting, i’d like to be able to search and add to the conferece any of the contacts listed in my Asterisk.

I’ve tried to config dialInNumbersUrl pointed to usr/share/jitsi-meet/phone_numbers.json (this file with some sample contacts), but it did not work. I’m also saw the there’s a peoplesearchurl config, but even after a lot research i could not find any docs to implement this.

does anyone face a similar problem or have any suggestion?

It’ll be very appreciate.

Best,

peopleSearchQueryTypes: ['conferenceRooms'],
peopleSearchUrl: 'https://your-jitsi-address/static/dial-plan.json',

Hi @emrah, thanks, but unfortunately as you can see below, this configuration didn’t work out. i can see in the chrome inspector, that Jitsi did not execute any request to search for 1000 number. the json file is ok at this address https://meet.coipe.com.br/contacts.json

This page is not responding

You need to open the invite people dialog and search there you were searching in the participant pane, for a participant with name 1000.

hello, the server as off, now it’s online, but unfortunately it still not working

damencho · May 19, 2023, 6:15pm

Do you have invite button in participants pane?

mapildo · May 19, 2023, 6:15pm

@damencho and @emrah thanks your help, but i’ve done that, in my “config.js”, i’m using the settings below:

enableUserRolesBasedOnToken: true,
peopleSearchQueryTypes: ['conferenceRooms'],
peopleSearchUrl: 'https://meet.coipe.com.br/contacts.json',

my url is https://meet.coipe.com.br/contacts.json and it’s working.

when a try to search for 1000 in the searching pane, nothing happens, i’ve check the Network inspect in chrome and any request is made when i tried to search:

You are searching whether in the participants of the current meeting there is one with name 1000. You are using the wrong search box.

mapildo · May 19, 2023, 6:20pm

would be here? because it did not search for the contacts as well

damencho · May 19, 2023, 6:52pm

Yep, there.

mapildo · May 19, 2023, 6:58pm

ok @damencho,

however, it’s still not working, when i start typing the user name, it does not show a window with the result search…and when i try to cal the 1000, it does not work.

This works only when having a token

ok i got it, could you explain how to configure jitsi to use a token? because i’m using the code below at my jicofo.conf:

jicofo {
  authentication: {
    enabled: true
    type: XMPP
    login-url: jitsi-meet.example.com
 }

# JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication Prosody plugin

This plugin implements a **Prosody authentication provider** that verifies a client connection based on a JWT
described in [RFC7519]. It allows use of an external form of authentication with _lib-jitsi-meet_.
Once your user authenticates you need to generate the JWT as described in the RFC and pass it to your client app.
Once it connects with a valid token, it is considered authenticated by the jitsi-meet system.

During configuration, you can choose between two JWT validation methods:

* Shared Secret Validation or
* Public Key Validation 

In both cases you will need to provide the _application ID_ that identifies the client.

For the **Shared Secret Validation** an _application secret_ is shared by both the server (Prosody) and the JWT
generation. Take a look at an example structure in [Example Structure > Shared Secret Validation](#shared-secret-validation).
Like described in the RFC, the _shared secret_ is used to compute a HMAC hash value which allows authentication of the 
generated token. There are many existing libraries which can be used to implement token generation. More info can be 
found here: [http://jwt.io/#libraries-io]

hi @damencho and @emrah, thank you,

it worked. now i’m able to auth via token and open a modal with my contact list from https://meet.coipe.com.br/contacts.json in the invite button. It just worked using the token created via https://jitok.emrah.com/, so thank you.

I’ve seen there are two type of contacts jitsi can handle: “user” and “videosipgw”. i understood that this last one requires jibri in order to work.

But for the “user” contact type, i need to be able to create a custom script to send an invitation with the conference’s url in contact’s mail address for example.

do you know how could i do that?

damencho · May 21, 2023, 1:15pm

You should be able to set inviteServiceUrl in config.js and the selection should be sent to that url using the user token that did that.

mapildo · May 21, 2023, 1:16pm

great, i’m gonna try that…congratulations for your work, Jitsi is amazing.

mapildo · May 21, 2023, 2:35pm

@damencho something is just realize after starting using the token auth is: in order to create a new meeting is mandatory to create a token, but how could this token to be automatically create for the first user? if you go to https://meet.coipe.com.br/top/ and try to create a new meeting, you’ll see you can’t. that is, because now it needs a token. how can i solve that? before the token setup, it was just click on “start a meeting” and it worked.

damencho · May 21, 2023, 3:04pm

You need something to generate you a token, normally that is tight to your authentication mechanism and you create a token based on your user authenticating and then pass the token to the iframe.
We have a token-generator debian package which can be used to generate a client token … there is also a small example I recently did (it is an nginx hack) that generates tokens to use with jaas for all meetings but this means there are not guests … you can find it under jitsi-meet source code in doc/jaas.
