User authentication through jitsi-meet external API

Naveen_Babu_Sa · January 12, 2021, 9:54am

Urgent help needed

I have enabled authentication on our Jitsi Server. We need to embed jitsi in one of our App and we are trying to see how we can pass the user name and Password so that the pop up can be avoided

Please guide

Thanks
Naveen

Look into using JWT: lib-jitsi-meet/tokens.md at master · jitsi/lib-jitsi-meet · GitHub.

You can define the tokenAuthUrl option in your config.js. That url will be called while joining a meeting and should point to a token service (that you need to deploy yourself). It should redirect the user back to the meeting page with proper ?jwt=... in the url.

jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/9f9e192c3ca795826b08e0bfca79a2ea081844e5/modules/UI/authentication/AuthHandler.js#L64-L74


/**
 * Redirect the user to the token authentication service for the login to be
 * performed. Once complete it is expected that the service wil bring the user
 * back with "?jwt={the JWT token}" query parameter added.
 * @param {string} [roomName] the name of the conference room.
 */
function redirectToTokenAuthService(roomName) {
    // FIXME: This method will not preserve the other URL params that were
    // originally passed.
    UIUtil.redirect(getTokenAuthUrl(roomName, false));
}
