Agenda SDK Dialog: Using PbxAdminApi from an app and not a PBX Manager plugin

Hello,

In our app, I have successfully modified the default PBX Manager plugin to add fields to it an update the app object accordingly. Specifically, as you can see in the attachments, the "Icon URL" field.

It would be very useful for us being able to modify the app object not from the PBX Manager plugin but from the App itself. Is this possible at all?

We tried to use the PbxAdminApi in the same way as the PBX Manager plugin does, from the Javascript client code, and we also tried to call this API directly from the service object but none of our attemps worked.

We never obtain a response from our GetAppObjects or similar calls. Is this API available to apps or only to PBX Manager plugins?

Our perfect scenario would be not only being able to update this "Icon URL" field but also create / edit / delete full app objects.

Regards,

Marc ///

Did you check "Admin" in the App Objekt to allow the App Service the use of the Admin API?

Using PbxAdminApi from an app and not a PBX Manager plugin

Hello,

I am again trying to interact with PbxAdminApi in similar ways as the PBX Manager plugin does, but from a normal App, trying to create, update App Objects.

This time I have checked "Admin" and "Websocket" permissions in the App Object, and copied parts of the plugin code at

[company].[appname]manager.js

into my App, but still get no response from the PbxAdminApi.

This is the basic code of my app:

 var managerApi = start.consumeApi("com.innovaphone.manager");

 var app = new innovaphone.appwebsocket.Connection(start.url, start.name);
 app.checkBuild = true;
 app.Xonconnected= app_connected;
 app.Xonmessage= app_message;

 var src = new managerApi.Src(pbx);

 function app_connected(domain, user, dn, appdomain) {
 src.send({ mt: "GetAppObjects", api: "PbxAdminApi" });
 }

 function app_message(obj) {
 }

 function pbx(msg) {
 console.log("Got PBX message");
 console.log(msg);
 }

I have been able to use and get messages from other APIs (com.innovaphone.client, com.innovaphone.search, com.innovaphone.phone) but I am unable to get any response from this PbxAdminApi.

Is there any obvious error in the code above making it fail?

Do I need to add a instanceLogin in the innovaphone.appwebsocket.Connection method as PBX plugins do?

Thanks a lot.

Re: Using PbxAdminApi from an app and not a PBX Manager plugin

Hello Marc,

just to clarify here - the following object represents a WebSock connection to the App Service, not to the PBX:

var app = new innovaphone.appwebsocket.Connection(start.url, start.name);

In order to open a new WebSocket connection to the PBX, you have to create a new object for this purpose, using corresponding URL and credentials.

Better solution would be to do this from App Service, not from client , where you have already a working WebSocket connection from the PBX.

Best Regrds

Re: Using PbxAdminApi from an app and not a PBX Manager plugin

This is a security issue. You do not want to give a user full access to the PBX (with the AdminApi you basically do this), only because you give access to an App, which needs the AdminApi.

This is why it is better to do this thru the App Service.
