401 Session xxyyzz not found

[SenITS]

I've set up my Working BBB about two weeks ago and a second one integrated in Moodle. Now I try to code my own little Joining-Tool for my custom requirements. Used the "Full Usage Sample" to code my first example and direct join works well but with setRedirect(false) the URL with the sessionToken doesn't work: "401, not allowed, Session xxyyzz not found"

My Code (with modifyed URLs and Secret): error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);

$Username = "MyName"; $meetingId = "SuperMeeting1234"; $meetingName = "Welcome Meeting!";

$usertype="moderator"; # moderator/attendee

$passwords = array('moderator' => 'MyHiSecModPW', # Moderator-Passwort 'attendee' => 'MyHiSecAtPw'); # Teilnehmer-Passwort

putenv("BBB_SECRET=SessionKeyFromMyBBBServer"); putenv("BBB_SERVER_BASE_URL=https://bbb.myserver.com/bigbluebutton/");

require_once 'bbb-api/vendor/autoload.php';

use BigBlueButton\BigBlueButton; use BigBlueButton\Parameters\CreateMeetingParameters; use BigBlueButton\Parameters\JoinMeetingParameters;

// Init BigBlueButton API $bbb = new BigBlueButton();

// Create the meeting $createParams = new CreateMeetingParameters($meetingId, $meetingName); $createParams = $createParams->setModeratorPassword($passwords['moderator']) ->setAttendeePassword($passwords['attendee']); $bbb->createMeeting($createParams);

// Send a join meeting request $joinParams = new JoinMeetingParameters($meetingId, $Username, $passwords[$usertype]);

// Ask for immediate redirection // $joinParams->setRedirect(true);

// echo $bbb->getJoinMeetingURL($joinParams);

// Let the prorgrammer do the redirection later $joinParams->setRedirect(false); $joinResponse = $bbb->joinMeeting($joinParams); // Prepare the server URL $bbbServerUrl = "https://bbb.myserver.com";

echo '<br>Join-Link: <a target="_blank" href="'.$bbbServerUrl . '/html5client/join?sessionToken=' . $joinResponse->getSessionToken() . '">LinkiWinki</a>';

I have the same problem. Any solution?

[SenITS]

I found no better solution yet, except taking the Direct-Join URL echo $bbb->getJoinMeetingURL($joinParams); wich in my opinion is a very "unsexy" solution, because of some unencrypted Information in it.

Found this ~1 year old bug: https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-api-php/issues/34#issuecomment-481641204 tried to put this "JSESSIONID" in any possible way in to a cookie but no luck, always the same error ... (so ... seems to another problem this time)

hope we'll get an answer and solution soon

I also was looking for another solution and had found this repo -- https://github.com/DevinY/bbb-php-api

It works normal but the code is written not so good.

It related to this configuration

https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton/blob/41f19a2cd1bc7dae76cbd805cdc3ddfbf1e6ab18/bigbluebutton-web/grails-app/conf/bigbluebutton.properties#L235

If you set your BigBlueButton server configuration value allowRequestsWithoutSession pt true it will work.

We have a code for JSESSIONID in the repository but might needs fixing.
