Creating multiple users

[RickBullotta]

For testing purposes, I'd like to have multiple usernames to
test permissioning and other capabilities. What is the recommended
way to set this up?



Thanks,

Hi Rick,



The easiest way is to create a quick login dialog which
accepts username. From there take the output of that dialog and
plug it into your AdobeHSAuthenticator. See the "LoginDialog"
example in the SDK for more.



Once you get closer to something you want to deploy, you'll
want to use external authentication to integrate with any existing
login systems you might have. See chapter 6 of the Cocomo Developer
Guide PDF for more details on your options there.



hope this helps

Hi, Nigel.



I had already implemented a login process similar to what you
describe (and borrowed liberally from the sample code), but what I
was more interested in was how I can create a second user account
so that I can log in as a test account other than my developer
account.



Thanks, and happy new year!

You can create another AdobeID using a different e-mail
address and use as your second login.



One thing to notice, though, is that when using the
AdobeHSAuthenticator there is no difference between a user with an
AdobeID that is not the account/room owner and a named guest. Both
will enter the meeting as guest and get promoted if you allow it.



If you want to experiment with different roles (because your
application uses more than the standard roles provided by Cocomo)
or you need to test with users with a "permanent" user ID you
should look at external authentication, where you create your users
and assign them the userID and role that you require.



The SDK comes with an example
(sdk/examples/ExternalAuthentication) that may help you (look at
the java or php code: they show a basic server-side application
that generates the authentication tokens using the name and role
that you set)
