User api key

Installation and Configuration

Proxima is not designed for users to create apps - i.e. it's not an "app platform". It's designed for solo app developers who need a backend and website to sell their apps from - i.e. they create the apps and the users are users IN their apps.

I know that's probably not what you're looking for, so want to be sure you know what Proxima was designed for.

The API keys used in Proxima can contain 16^57 different values, so they're no chance of collision. The API key is not secret, so it's not a security issue.


I think there's some confusion here, or you're using Proxima in a way it was not intended. Your users will not create Proxima API keys - YOU create them for your app, and your users registers session in the app. There is no API interface for creating apps.

Got it. What's the reason they need to be longer? Right now they are hard coded at 16 characters.

backup worker doesnt finish working

Installation and Configuration

Do you see the backup files ending up in S3? is mysqldump executable by the web user? Not really sure what else to recommend. Your server seems to have issues with running binaries under the web server.

I'm guessing you mean the user session key? If so no - it's an MD5 hash.


I'm not sure what you mean here - do you mean session keys? They will generate a new one each time they log in.

Let me know if that helps.

Unable to Install Marketplace Items

Installation and Configuration

Welcome to Jamroom!

This error means that Jamroom is unable to rename a directory to a symlink on your server, which is how Jamroom modules work (by switching symlinks to the active module). We've seen this on some hosting providers - basically they don't allow the web user to create/delete/rename symlinks. I'd contact your hosting provider and make sure symlinking is allowed in your hosting account.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!

Off Topic

a bad bug for sure, but also reinforces the idea that without physical security you can't have system security.

list if field is not empty

Using Jamroom

You want to use a LIKE operator in this instance:


That is an underscore followed by a percent sign - that means "1 or more characters".

Let me know if that works.

Profiles - is there a limit to the number of users who can be linked to a profile?

Installation and Configuration


Is the user an Admin user? Admin users are automatically linked to every profile, so there's no sense in linking them to a specific profile.

Profiles - is there a limit to the number of users who can be linked to a profile?

Installation and Configuration

There is no limit that is enforced by Jamroom - you should be good for up to at least several hundred users attached to a single profile.
