Create JWT Configuration
For Docker
Copy and use the secret value provided during Meetings server install for the GENERATE_SECRET value for the Sametime Community and Proxy steps.
If this value was not saved during install, it can be recreated following these steps:
- Copy the value of JWT_APP_SECRET from the .env file.
- Run the following command from the Linux shell with this JWT_APP_SECRET value:
echo -n <JWT_APP_SECRET> | base64 -w 0
- The value (output) from this command becomes the "GENERATED_SECRET" for the
sametime.ini and stproxyconfig.xml in the following steps.Note: This parameter and its values are case sensitive.
From the Sametime Meeting server folder, run the ./prepareDeployment.sh command from Linux shell. After executing this command, helm/templates/meetings-secrets.yaml will have secrets unique to this deployment. The sametimeJwt value can be found in the JwtSecret data object. This value becomes the "GENERATED_SECRET" for the sametime.ini and stproxyconfig.xml in the following steps.
