Can an alternate hostname for Meetings be configured?

Hello

We just migrated from Sametime11.6 to 12.0.1. The hostname for both Chat and Meetings is "sametime.org.com". Meetings 11.6 used to have a different hostname "meetings.org.com".

Problem:

Some Notes clients still use "https://meetings.org.com/meeting/Meetme....." for meeting invitations because this url is stored in their preferences.

While REACT_APP_CHAT_SERVER_HOSTNAME can be used to configure an alternate hostname for Chat, but we don't want to change the hostname for Chat, is there a way to configure the alternate hostname "meetings.org.com" for Meetings?

Alternately, can the Notes preference "Meeting URL" for the external meeting provider be modified by pushing an attribute via Managed Settings? And Which attribute?

Thank you!

Regards

Patrice

Hello Patrice,

you can use "REACT_APP_CHAT_SERVER_HOSTNAME", "REACT_APP_CHAT_SERVER_HOSTNAME" and "EXTRA_VHOSTS" (all in "custom.env") to use different hostnames for the server. We use this for the same reason.

Last I looked, these variables were not documented. I found them looking through code in the product.

Hope that helps.

Hello Florian

Thank you for these suggestions! Is there something like "REACT_APP_MEETING_SERVER_HOSTNAME" ? ( You mentioned "REACT_APP_CHAT_SERVER_HOSTNAME" two times.)

Hello Patrice,

oh I'm sorry. Yes there is in custom.env :


# NOTE: The setting should match with the value in .env
REACT_APP_MEETING_SERVER_HOSTNAME
