I am trying to build a mobile application working against a blockchain network. The thing i am not understanding is how the user actually becomes a member( registered ) in the network. Suppose user open’s our applications than what credentials does he enter so that he becomes a participant in the network.
In Composer the first thing to do is to create a participant, then using the Admin Card, Issue an Identity to the participant. (Identity is a Hyperledger Fabric concept, and Composer is built on top of Fabric.) Once the Identity has been Issued (and a card created) you can use that Identity.
I would suggest trying out Participant and Identities using the Composer Playground (either online, or installed locally).
If you haven't seen them, then the Composer Tutorials are a good resource, then perhaps look at this tutorial that uses the Composer Rest Server in Multi-User mode.

I am trying to test my bot. It is hosted remotely but on a server that has no internet connectivity but is reachable within the LAN. I want to use the Botframework emulator to test. The emulator relies on ngrok. But I have two restrictions :
1) I cannot install ngrok on my corporate machine.
2) Even if I somehow managed to cut through the red tape and install ngrok , without internet connectivity on the server that hosts my bot, the responses would still not reach my emulator.
How can I use a service url that hits my emulator directly without using ngrok ?
First, ngrok is only necessary for connecting to bots hosted remotely. If you are looking to run everything locally on the closed server, then ngrok is not required.
With regards to options, you have a couple that may work for you.
One, you can look at utilizing offline-directline. This option allows you to generate a token locally without having to connect to the public direct line offering on Azure. Be aware that this npm package is configured for the v3 "BotChat" web chat tool. So, utilizing this will require your modifying the configuration to work with the newer v4 Web Chat (not to be confused with the v3/v4 SDKs).
Two, consider using this Browser Bot sample, located here, from the Botbuilder-Samples GitHub repo. In this instance, the bot and web chat adapters are fully contained within the browser and, as such, do not require a connection to direct line to run. The bot adapter uses the v4 Node SDK while the web chat adapter uses the v4 React-based implementation.
Hope of help!
I have been trying to make my application verified for quite some time already. The main problem that I have is that my homepage and other pages(except web hooks for push-notifications and oauth2 flow) are private (because it's dev environment, not prod) and if you try to access them from the Internet, firewall will not allow you doing so.
Considering what I wrote above, I posted OAuth Developer Verification Form with the links to my app that aren't accessible for the external network. Now I got the following message from Google:
Dear Developer,
Thank you for your patience. Please reply back with a test account email and password, so we can experience the user sign-up flow, validate the app services and then proceed with OAuth Verification process.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have questions or concerns.
Even if I provide the account in my application, Google will not be able to reach the application.
I am sure that there are thousands of applications that have DEV/QA and other environments that aren't accessible from the Internet.
How do you go through verification process?
How do you go through the process in general?
What URLs do you specify in the form? Are they private?
How do you provide user for the Google if you application is not available through the Internet(only web-hooks are available)?
This was so easy for PROD environment, but appears a real nightmare for DEV environments.
Thank you!
If I have made 2 different heroku apps, can someone who randomly sees one also find the other and know that I made it? (They are not linking to each other of course)
Thanks!
If you look at Heroku Website you will notice that it is a deployment service for developers equipped with all required tools. On Heroku there is no way to find who is registered with Heroku or list of registered apps on Heroku just like Github.
So Github has a different service model, and we can easily search any repo, any author (if public). On Heroku there is no area or option to search like that.
Except that, if you are using Heroku for free and their free domain, then the prefix in start of your free domain name will let others know that you are using Heroku platform (with free package or have not configured real domain yet).
Twilio a famous SMS API service provider, has their chat service hosted on Heroku, they didn't configured the domain, hence I noticed Herokuapp in start of their chat window URL, which let me know that they are using Heroku.
Please explain the concept of wallet in playground.
I cannot find information for this in documentation.
"Wallet" is how we describe the contents of the ~/.hfc-key-store/ or ~/.composer-credentials/ directory.
This directory is used by the HLF Node SDK as the default store for user credentials (public and private certificates).
In addition to the certs, Composer maps the certificates to Composer participant identities (in the identity registry), so that when a transaction is submitted (authenticated using a Fabric certificate) the associated Composer participant can be retrieved by the runtime (see the getCurrentParticipant() API). This mapping from cert to participant is managed using the composer identity CLI commands, or can be created in Playground using the interface.
We are working on a new UI design to manage certificates, connection profiles and identity mapping which should roll out over the coming weeks.
Ok so here is what I've got:
Setup local fabric using docker compose.
Deployed business network with basic acl, created and enrolled participants, as well as assets using admin id and secret.
composer-rest-server using participants id and secret.
Can still see asset (despite DENY acl) in explorer.
I've posted the .bna and verification steps in github.
https://github.com/wajid-poernomo/sample-business-network
Be great to get some input here as there seem to be lot's of contributors who treat acl as a given. Many thanks in advance.
In summary, the problem was due to not having an attribute set on membership services as described here.
"composer network ping" won't show the participant after "composer identity issue"
