I am trying to enable jwt authentication for my self-hosted (Docker) Jitsi server. There is a guide on self hosting with Docker and on that guide, it tells how to enable authentication. This is the guide: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-docker

Now I will copy and paste the autentication part from that guide so that you can see it more clearly.

Authentication can be controlled with the environment variables below. If guest access is enabled, unauthenticated users will need to wait until a user authenticates before they can join a room. If guest access is not enabled, every user will need to authenticate before they can join. enter image description here

Authentication using JWT tokens You can use JWT tokens to authenticate users. To enable it you have to enable authentication with ENABLE_AUTH and set AUTH_TYPE to jwt...

After these instructions, I changed my .env file. I did the configurations told above. Then I did docker-compose down. Then I removed the ~/.jitsi-meet-cfg and then created again with mkdir. Then I ran the command docker-compose up -d.

Then to try it, I am entering the URL:

https://{ip_add}:8443/room?jwt=randomwords

I am connecting to the server remotely thus I am accessing it with an ip. And because I did not provide a token, I should not be able to create/join to a meeting but I am able to. Whatever I write to the url I still can join.

Can someone help?

  • when you specify the AUTH_TYPE=jwt you must to fill also APP_ID and APP_SECRET here you can find the reference: https://jitsi.github.io/handbook/docs/devops-guide/devops-guide-docker#authentication-using-jwt-tokens for generating a valid token: https://jwt.io – Progressify Feb 24 '21 at 10:41
