@matt_sf Mystery solved. Look in your info.txt file, see those quotation marks? They're not part of your token are they :)

Try

local text = info.loadAsString().replace('""');

Matt_SF

@d-healey aaaarrh, I sensed they might be the cause of the error, I tried to use .replace but didn't write it correctly.
Thanks a lot David, as always you're here to save the day

Matt_SF

@d-healey I tried it this morning but no luck, the .replace function didn't work, I still ended up with the quotation marks...
But I tried different things and ended up writing the whole response object (not just the token) to a file and load it as an object.value and it finally worked.

const text = '"text"';

Console.print(text.replace('""'));

Console prints : "text"

@matt_sf Console always shows quotation marks for strings. I tested the code before I suggested it to you with your snippet and it worked for me.

Matt_SF

@d-healey @ustk oh that's odd.

@matt_sf said in Woocommerce linked licensing system for your plugins:

const text = '"text"';

Console.print(text.replace('""'));

Ok in this example I put the "string" inside the simple quotes ' so that was my mistake.

But If I use a txtFile.txt containing "Some text" (with the double quotes like I get when writing the response.tokeninto a file) and use this code:

const desktop = FileSystem.getFolder(FileSystem.Desktop);
const textFile = desktop.getChildFile("txtFile.txt");

const test = "test";

Console.print(test.replace('""'));
Console.print(textFile.loadAsString().replace('""'));

It doesn't work. The console output correctly testbut outputs "Some text"...

@matt_sf

Try below snippet. By the way, why are you using replace? For removing spaces? If yes, you should use it like this: textFile.loadAsString().replace(" ", "")

No, we're removing quotation marks ""

orange

@d-healey said in Woocommerce linked licensing system for your plugins:

No, we're removing quotation marks ""

Why? I think there is no need to do that?

d.healey

@orange When the token is written to the text file it adds quotation marks. These need to be removed before being added to the header.

orange

@d-healey Then substring can work here. This will extract the string between first and last chars.

exampleString.substring(1, exampleString.length-1);

Matt_SF

@d-healey @orange so, .substring works but .replace doesn't...

(no matter if I write .replace("", "") or .replace('""', "") the result is the same).

By using this, I mananged to get it to work :

const info = desktop.getChildFile("info.txt");

// Function getTheToken
info.writeObject(response);

// Function verifyTheToken
local text = info.loadAsObject();
local token = text.token;

Server.setHttpHeader("Authorization: Bearer " + token);

Is there a preferred method between .loadAsObject() and .loadAsString for these kind of things or is there no difference ?

d.healey

@matt_sf I use an encrypted object.

@matt_sf said in Woocommerce linked licensing system for your plugins:

I think objects would be better choice. Writing and Rreading encrypted objects is more secure way for that purpose. You can encrypt the file with a combination of complex pin and machine ID. Also you can change the encrypted file extension from .json to .dat or whatever you like.

Matt_SF

Noted ! Thank you @d-healey, @orange and @ustk for your help, I really appreciate :folded_hands:
I'll probably be back soon with another issue :)

A Former User

@orange I am trying to make a similar thing like you did for license activation but as I see it's very very complicated to make the same licensing application in HISE. Much more harder than I think!

As I also see you do analog modeling plugins too. It's very interesting that you do very very hard to implemet stuff directly in HISE :D For me, unbelievable and extraordinary, congrats dude!

Hey, it's me again ! I have a question regarding security :

I'm into the process of "converting" my Kontakt instruments into VSTs and I'm using JWT Auth + the License manager plugin, but I just set up the license system so the customers who already purchased my Kontakt instruments don't have a serial number yet.

In order to offer the smoothest user experience, my first tought of managing this was to implement an 'Auth + Register' system in the VST plugin which does this (roughly) :

User enter Username & Password then use JWT to authenticate the user then :

if (User owns the product)
{
    if (User already have a serial)
    {
        ServerCall.use License Manager endpoint to check the serial and authorize the plugin;
    }
    else if (User dont have a serial in his account)
    {
        plugin.function(generateSerial);

        ServerCall.use License Manager endpoint to create a serial number into User account and authorize the plugin;
    }
}
else
{
    Dont unlock the plugin
}

But I'm concerned by automatically creating a serial with the License manager endpoint. Wouldn't it be a major security breach to let a plugin use this endpoint ? Technically it writes something in my DB....

d.healey

@matt_sf If it's an authorised request via jwt it shouldn't be anymore of a risk than doing the same thing through your website
