I would like to create an app that a user goes to and is able to create a meetings where they are the host
looking through the api documentation, I have only been able to create a app where i go create a meeting and I am the host
I don't want to share my user/pass with other users so they can host through my site.
is this even possible,
this is less a code question, I know, but where else to ask?
-what i tried before, - creating an app, but i am the one that has to log in to host.
I have searched for this and found answers that do not work in my case. I would appreciate some thoughts on this
I have set up a github page at: https://ir-ischool-uos.github.io/mwpd/
Some users reported that when they visit the page, an error about security is displayed, like this on Chrome:
- However, many users say it works ok for them.
I have found some sources say that this only happens if your link contains 'https' instead of 'http', but tested on two computers, one mobile phone and one tablet they both work fine. I also found source that say I should use GitHub page's https support, and I checked my setting this already is ticked.
Is there anything I can do to fix this for every user?
Thanks
This error could happen because of numerous of reasons. For example:
The server certificate (or at least one of the certificates in the chain of trust) is not among the trusted certificates that the browser/system maintains (maybe an outdated list?). Try to update the browser/system.
The date/time on the system is not configured correctly.
The connection is being intercepted (by an attacker?) and the certificate is manipulated, hence the SSL connection handshake process could not complete.
Your connection is not private error appears on websites using the SSL / HTTPs protocol when a browser is unable to validate the SSL certificate issued by the website.
Basically, any website using SSL / HTTPs protocol sends a security certificate information to users browsers upon each visit. Browsers then try to validate the certificate using the public key accompanying the certificate.
If it checks out, then users browser encrypts the data using the private key sent by your website. This encryption secures the data transfer between a user’s browser and your website.
I have checked it accross 3 different connections and they all worked just fine.
I believe the problem could be from the users. They may need to clear their cache, check if their clock is set correctly, their antivirus could be stopping it. And their browsers may be outdated.
What I will advice is just (https://support.github.com/contact). They could check to verify if this is an issue from the server or not.
But from what am looking at, this may be an issue with the user's device.
Also here are a few links you could refer and see if all settings on your own part are rightly set;

I hope this helps. Let me know!
If you are using a school/college wifi, most probably someone has your credentials and he/she is using it at the same time as you so basically when he/she is using the web you'll get this message, you should probably change your password or switch on VPN.
If the WiFi/other network used to access the website in question is a school or public network, some 3rd-party software used by it's administrator might be trying to prevent or override the connection to your website.
That might happen in order to display an error message (e.g. "Website access prohibited"), a captive portal (network login window), or just to watch the data being sent around.
Since you're using HTTPS it was prevented when the certificate check failed, because with HTTPS in place that software has no way of presenting it's own page or eavesdropping, other than creating it's own certificate with your website name in it on the fly. Which, of course, was rejected by the browser, since either the user didn't expect it, or, if it's indeed a school/company network, the PC wasn't properly enrolled for use on the said network.
Either way, there is no problem with your webpage itself. Because Github manages the server for your Pages, chances you could create something causing that problem yourself are pretty much zero.
Sometimes it happens because of the wrong IP/DNS settings. Checking the below places might help resolve the issue:
Make sure you are using a common public DNS server. How to check the DNS server you are using depends on your operating system. Moreover, if you are using a VPN client and it has a DNS configuration, check that setting too.
Check if there is an IP address associated with GitHub in the system's hosts file. In Linux and macOS you may use sudo vi /etc/hosts. If there is one, turn that line into a comment by adding # at the beginning of the line. Save, exit, and check if you see that error again. Do step 3 only if you are still getting the same error.
Go to https://www.ipaddress.com, search for github.io, and add its IP address at the bottom of /etc/hosts file like this example: 140.82.114.4 github.io.
Hope this helps.
One of our hotel clients provide free WiFi to its guests with a Hot Spot, however, there are available only a few URL to access them freely (such as Facebook or the website of the hotel) and if you need more access you should log in.
We have developed the App for the hotel and one of its features is that if you open the App it gives you a complete access to the hotel WiFi, so you can navigate to any page you want.
Therefore, it is necessary that the guests can download the app through the AppStore without being logged in to the hotel WiFi, so the guest can download the App and get the access immediately.
We have a trace of the URL that calls the AppStore for search and downloading the App and we have set the Hot Spot to allow access to this URL, however, the AppStore tells us that we have no connection.
What URL should we need to enable in our Hot Spot for the AppStore to work properly?
These are the routes that have enabled:
search.itunes.apple.com
play.itunes.apple.com
init.itunes.apple.com
su.itunes.apple.com
itunes.apple.com
se.itunes.apple.com
p59-buy.itunes.apple.com
pd-st.itunes.apple.com
xp.apple.com
sp.itunes.apple.com
Thank you for your help.
Apple Appstore communicate using HTTPS. So router in the middle will not know what url that been use by client due to it's encrypted.
The solution is, instead of allow those by url. you need to allow it by ip address.
I would suggest to allow connection to the following address.
17.154.0.0/16 Apple's Class B Subnet includes phobos.apple.com address(es)
23.63.98.0/23 Akamai Technologies CDN
Please keep in mind that xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/16 mean 255.255.0.0.
And it will be equal to allow ip adresss from 17.154.0.0 - 17.154.255.255
Also Akamai is a Content delivery service So ip address will various from location. I would suggest you to try to ping swcdn.apple.com get ipaddress and allow those /23 server.
I'm running a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server. This server is only accessible within our network. There I was running a Prosody server. When a user registered the user name had following configuration: username#server-ip.
Now, our admins changed a lot in our network and this server got a new IP address and the old address does not exist anymore. The result was that users could not login anymore. After I adjusted all server changes within prosody.cfg.lua there are no users for the new host. Is there a way to change the domain for all users to username#new-server-ip? Or maybe another possibility to import all users?
The last solution would be to have everyone register again, but I would like to avoid that.
Thx
I have worked with Jabbered2/openfire/Tigase. First please check with username#new-server-ip. In case of change in server ip all you need to do is change ip at the time of login ( with same previous password)
In worst case ( if prosody didn't support it) you still don't need to register all users again ( because that is bad thing to do). In this case you might need to update stuff in you database user table.
Let me know about whether username#new-server-ip works or not?
Thanks
We have an app wherein certain functionality needs to work only when the user is connected to a router associated with his account (we have some information about user accounts and home routers).
However, it is possible for the user to set up a VPN connection to his home router via any public wifi/3g network. We want to block certain functionality if that is the case.
Any ideas as to how it can be detected using any of the existing iphone/ipad apis?
Thanks,
Hetal
There is a flag in the reachability API called kSCNetworkReachabilityFlagsTransientConnection.
It is true when you are connected via a VPN and false if you are not connected via a VPN.
We used this flag value to check for our conditions.
There's no iOS API (public at least) that is going to give you information on whether you're running on a home router or public WiFi connection. You can only determine that you're on a WiFi connection vs. 3G. (for example, see the Reachability sample)
You might be able to do some sort of lookup based on the device's current IP address. You'd have to have each user register their router's IP address and have your application validate it before running, etc. But still, there'd be no guarantee that user's home router is secured. In other words, it could be just as wide open as a public WiFi.
