Cannot load Authentication Plugin

toffifee · Post by **toffifee** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 5:05 am

1. Brekeke Product Name and Version: v3.1.7.0

2. Java version: 7

3. OS type and the version: Windows 8 x64

4. UA (phone), gateway or other hardware/software involved:

5. Your problem:

Hi,
I followed the Authentication Plug-in
Developer’s Guide, but stillt could not get it to work.

Some thinks aren't clear and I hope you can help me.

1. I added to the Windows Environment Variables a variable called "CLASSPATH" with the Value "C:\Plugins". Is this correct so far?

2. Then I copied the "AuthenticationPlugin.class" file to the Directory "C:\Plugins"

3. Afterwards I added the "net.usrdir.plugins" property to the sv.properties file like this: net.usrdir.plugins = myName.Country.AuthenticationPlugin

For this step, I would note that the Documentation speaks sometimes of the "net.usrdir.plugins" property and sometimes of the "net.userdir.plugins" property.

What is the difference? What is the correct one?

4. The sv.properties file I edited is located in "C:\Program Files\Brekeke\sip\webapps\sip\WEB-INF\work\sv\sv.properties" because I could not find the folder "proxy" as mentioned in the Documentation. Do you know why the folder doesn't exists in my <install directory>?

5. After restarting the Server I opened the logfile and found a line:

registrar: plugin=com.brekeke.sipadmin.plugins.RegisteredSqlDB : loaded

Must there be the name of my Plugin or how can I see if the Plugin loaded successfully?

Thank you for you help.

Kind Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Yes. It is correct.
As the document said, you also need to specify JDK's lib folder in the CLASSPATH.

If you don't know about CLASSPATH, I recommend that you copy your JAR file under the following folder.

<sip_server_install_dir>\webapps\sip\WEB-INF\lib

> 3. Afterwards I added the "net.usrdir.plugins" property to the sv.properties file like this: net.usrdir.plugins = myName.Country.AuthenticationPlugin

Is "myName.Country" the package name of your class?

The correct one is "net.usrdir.plugins".

> 4. The sv.properties file I edited is located in "C:\Program Files\Brekeke\sip\webapps\sip\WEB-INF\work\sv\sv.properties"

It is no problem.
Also you can set the variable "net.usrdir.plugins" in the [Configuration]->[Advanced] page.

It is the Register Plug-in not Authentication Plug-in

For debugging the Authentication Plug-in, let you set the following in the [Configuration]->[Advanced] page.

net.userdir.loglevel.file=255

Hi, thank you for the fast answer. Must it be a .jar file or can it also be the .class file?

If I copy it to this location I don't have to care about the JDK's lib right?

Yes it is.

Many Thanks.

Thomas

Yes. It you put your plugin under the lib folder, it must be JAR file.

Yes

Good luck.
