Unable to activate enterprise "Allowed IP list" feature for Vonage

Symptom

In a case where you are unable to activate "Allowed IP list" feature for Vonage, where config.opentok.com is being fetched instead of the config-enterprise.opentok.com i.e. from the allowed IP list. 

Applies To

• JS SDK

Resolution

With JS SDK if you specify a ipWhitelist flag in initPublisher option, then it will directly fetch the resources from the allowed IP list.
 
Code snippet:
var session = OT.initSession(apiKey, sessionId, {ipWhitelist :true});
 
You can follow the below steps so the correct config file is downloaded from config-enterprise.opentok.com which is a part of the IP whitelist block.
 

• Use an APIKEY setup in enterprise environment,
• with https://enterprise.opentok.com/v2/js/opentok.min.js,
• and with the ipWhitelist flag set using below:

OT.initSession(apiKey, sessionId, {ipWhitelist :true});
 
Using the above steps, you would see the enterprise version of config.json file will be requested and which is a part of the IP whitelist block.

Cause

Incorrect configuration i.e passing the ipWhitelist value in string quotations. While It needs to be boolean true.

• With the IPwhitelist flag set,

OT.initSession(apiKey, sessionId, {ipWhitelist :'true'});

Additional Information

As a result, this will lead to slower connection times, but ultimately a successful connection.
