Adobe Connect Module does not add users to Meeting Hosts group

Adobe Connect Module does not add users to Meeting Hosts group

Hi All,

We're currently using the Adobe Connect module with our Moodle 2.6 and Adobe Connect 9 instances. We'd previously used the 1.9 module successfully, but we're currently having an issue where Moodle accepts a user as a host or presenter (putting logging in join.php confirms this) but Adobe Connect does not then add the user to the Meeting Host group - this extract from AC's access.log shows what I mean:

RTMP meetingas3app/7/1182784 [session=1182792]: {ticket=gqyec78hw22e, reconnect=false, action=validate-user, sco-id=1182784}
RTMP meetingas3app/7/1182784 [session=1182792]: {bytesdown=0, protocol=rtmp, ticket=gqyec78hw22e, status=C, nickname=Scott Gage, action=register-client, role=m, bytesup=0, session-timeout=24}
RTMP meetingas3app/7/1182784 [session=1182792]: {logModule=meeting-usermanager, eventObject=[{meeting-sco-id=1182784, user-id=2, principal-id=617663, namespace=meeting-usermanager, eventname=user-entered},{phonenumber=undefined, username=Scott Gage, status=null, telephony-id=null, user-id=2, role=host, principal-id=617663, phonestatus=0, offline=false, mute=false}], action=meeting-event-update}
RTMP meetingas3app/7/1182784 [session=1182792]: {logModule=meeting-usermanager, eventObject={meeting-sco-id=1182784, user-id=2, role=participant, namespace=meeting-usermanager, eventname=userrole-updated}, action=meeting-event-update}
RTMP meetingas3app/7/1182784 [session=1182792]: {ticket=gqyec78hw22e, status=U, action=register-client, role=v}

 

The issue may well be on Adobe Connect's end and I'm raising a call with our provider for that as well, but thought I would check to see if any other institutions had encountered something similar.

Thanks,

Scott

Did you ever get this sort out by any chance?

We did! We added the following to the function aconnect_check_user_perm in locallib.php:


   if (ADOBE_REMOVE_ROLE != $perm_type) {
        $params['filter-permission-id'] = $perm_type;
    }

    $aconnect->create_request($params);

    /**************************************
     ***  BEGIN MODIFICATION     ***
     **************************************/
     // Add the user to the System Host group when the permission is assigned.
     if ($perm_type == ADOBE_HOST_ROLE) {

         $group_id = aconnect_get_meeting_host_group($aconnect);
         if (!$ug = aconnect_add_user_to_group($aconnect, $usrprincipal, $group_id)) {
             return false;
         }
     }
    /**************************************
     ***  END MODIFICATION       ***
     **************************************/

    if ($aconnect->call_success()) {


This calls two functions I added called aconnect_get_meeting_host_group, aconnect_add_user_to_group, which I added at the bottom of locallib.php:


function aconnect_get_meeting_host_group($aconnect) {

    $params = array(
        'action'       => 'principal-list',
        'filter-type'  => 'live-admins' // the built in meeting host group is called 'live-admins'
    );

    $aconnect->create_request($params);

    $principal_id = false;

    if($aconnect->call_success()) {
        $dom = new DomDocument();
        $dom->loadXML($aconnect->_xmlresponse);

        $domnodelist = $dom->getElementsByTagName('principal');

        if (!empty($domnodelist->length)) {
            if ($domnodelist->item(0)->hasAttributes()) {
                $domnode = $domnodelist->item(0)->attributes->getNamedItem('principal-id');

                if (!is_null($domnode)) {
                    $principal_id = (int) $domnode->nodeValue;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return $principal_id;
}

function aconnect_user_in_group($aconnect, $username, $group_id) {

    // add the user to the group
    $params = array(
        'action'           => 'principal-list',
        'filter-is-member' => 1,
        'group-id'         => $group_id,
        'filter-like-name' => $username,
    );

    $aconnect->create_request($params);

    $principal_id = false;

    if($aconnect->call_success()) {
        $dom = new DomDocument();
        $dom->loadXML($aconnect->_xmlresponse);

        $domnodelist = $dom->getElementsByTagName('principal');

        if (!empty($domnodelist->length)) {
            if ($domnodelist->item(0)->hasAttributes()) {
                $domnode = $domnodelist->item(0)->attributes->getNamedItem('principal-id');

                if (!is_null($domnode)) {
                    $principal_id = (int) $domnode->nodeValue;
                }
            }
        }
    }

    return $principal_id;
}

function aconnect_add_user_to_group($aconnect, $username = '', $group_principal_id = 0) {

    if(empty($username)) {
        return false;
    }

    if (empty($group_principal_id)) {
        return false;
    }

    // Check to see if the username has been passed in or the ID..
    if(is_string($username)) {

        // Create an object for the user
        $user = new stdClass();
        $user->username = $username;

        // Make sure the user exists and get the users principal ID if they do
        if(!$principal_id = aconnect_user_exists($aconnect, $user)) {
            return false;
        }

    } else {
        // We already have the principal id from the parent.
        $principal_id = (int)$username;
    }

    // Check to see if the user is already in the group
    if(!aconnect_user_in_group($aconnect, $username, $principal_id, $group_principal_id)) {

        // add the user to the group
        $params = array(
            'action'       => 'group-membership-update',
            'principal-id' => $principal_id,
            'group-id'     => $group_principal_id,
            'is-member'    => 1,
        );

        $aconnect->create_request($params);

        if ($aconnect->call_success()) {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }

    } else {
        return true;
    }

Hi!

This seems to work also for us. However, we have a license of only 25 users under group hosts. That means that above solution only works for the first 25 users entering as a HOST. Once this limit is reached, a message like this is presented to all users that are supposed to be host in that meeting:


error assign user adobe host role
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<params><param name="action">group-membership-update</param><param name="principal-id">38207</param><param name="group-id">20009</param><param name="is-member">1</param></params>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<results><status code="no-access" subcode="no-quota" type="num-of-members-quota"/></results>
preventing the user to enter to the meeting. In addition, the sysadmin receives an email when the host group is at 80%.
Had someone a similar limitation? How did you solved or bypassed it?
Jordi
