Enabling SSL

SSL is required to use Assist. Without SSL, any modern browsers will not be able to access the microphone and the webcam.

To enable SSL, four properties need to be configured:

server.ssl.enabled=false
server.ssl.key-store=/Path/to/my/certificates/server.ks
server.ssl.key-store-password=key-store-password
server.ssl.key-password=key-password
  1. Set server.ssl.enabled to true
  2. Set the path to keystore in the property server.ssl.key-store
  3. Fill in the passwords into the properties server.ssl.key-store-password and server.ssl.key-password
  4. After configuring SSL, change the server port from 80 to 443, which is the standard SSL port. This can be done by configuring
server.port=443

Since the port and the protocol changed, update the external URLs:

xserver.url.external.http=https://an.example.com:443/
xserver.url.external.mqtt=wss://an.example.com:443/mqtt/

Easy to Overlook

Make sure to use HTTPS and WSS instead of HTTP and WS.

Set-Up ffmpeg

If the server is set up for Assist, then ffmpeg should also be set up, to enable transcoding recorded in-call videos.

In windows systems, download ffmpeg and unzip the files. Give the specified path in the xserver.properties file.

In Linux systems, open a terminal and simply install ffmpeg.

Call Management

This property enables/disables the Call Management feature.

fcc.xassist.contacts.expert-identification.enabled = true

Multi-Streaming

This property enables/disables the multistreaming feature, which makes it possible to have more than two video streams in Assist Calls.

This feature only works if the server is using Mediasoup.

xserver.xassist.multiStreamEnabled = true

Mediasoup Bandwidth

This is used to change the max sending bitrate. Values are in bit.

fcc.xassist.sfuMaxPeerBitrate=7000000
fcc.xassist.maxAudienceSendingBitrate=600000

Restart the server to apply the new configuration.

Disable Conferences

This property enables/disables Conference calls, if disabled only 1:1(one on one) calls without any Selective Forwarding Unit (SFU) are allowed.

fcc.xassist.sfuEnabled=true

Disable Try to Open in App

This property enables/disables the "Try to open in App" button, which is presented on the Join Call page for guest users.

fcc.xassist.showOpenInAppLink=true

Enable Mediasoup

Mediasoup can be enabled with the command:

xserver.xassist.sfuType=SFU

Enable REST API

Enables API access to the server, which activates the Rest API menu within the Frontline Command Center Administration.

xserver.swagger.enable=true

Clean-up for Task List and Call Logs

Activate scheduled Server Configuration to delete tasks and call logs after a certain period:

xserver.tasks.cleanup=true

Set the time (in days) after which the cleanup process runs:

xserver.tasks.cleanup.days=1

Activate scheduled Server Configuration to delete tasks and call logs after a certain period:

xserver.xpick.task.cleanup.delay=10000

Set Frontline Workplace Language to the Last Logged-In User's Language Preference

When updating the FWP release version, the app language settings can be set to the last logged-in user's language preference. This feature works on release versions both for the server and the app. The endpoint needs to be set correctly in the property.

App:
  KeepLocale: true
  Endpoint:
    Http: https://frontlineworker.com/(server name)

To configure the timeout for a message send to a connector, set the connection timeout in seconds (10 seconds as an example):

xserver.integration.connecttimeout=10s

To configure the timeout for a message to be read, set the connection timeout in seconds (10 seconds as an example):

xserver.integration.readtimeout=10s
