Anonymous meeting join - Skype for Business online

Question

I am trying to make the anonymous join to a meeting work using the samples at

https://github.com/OfficeDev/skype-docs/tree/master/Skype/WebSDK

I managed a running instance of samples against localhost IIS and most of the functionality seem to work fine except above. Note that I am authenticating against Azure AD / Office 365.

I did encounter few issues which I worked around. For ex, I encountered the "Service does not allow a cross domain request from this origin" which I temporarily patched using a fiddler filter to remove X-Ms-Origin header.

Before I spend too much time on it, I would like to know if this feature would work in Skype for business online (or is just for on premise). Depending on that I might have to take a different approach (or even consider on premise instance).

The latest error I now get is "The web ticket is invalid." while accessing

While not exact, it appears it is very close to what is explained in the following link.

I would really appreciate some clarifications here

Answer 1

Are you having problems authenticating an end-user against Skype for Business Online, creating the anonymous meeting URL, or something else ...? The auth process for Skype for Business Online is different than the on-premise version.
