Dear Maxim and OpenMeetings Developers,
Upon clicking on one-time invitation link sent to them, our participants
receive the error, "This invitation was already used".
We posted on the OM user forum and received the list of steps to
follow. We followed those steps , yet we are receiving the same error
on two servers, one running OpenMeetings 3.0.3 and the other 3.0.4.
We might have to do some coding changes in some of the files and
settings based on our research on SOAP REST methods and data flow. Since
this is technical in nature, we are posting these findings in OM Dev
(not user) forum to seek further guidance.
Could you please give us some technical pointers to eliminate the error
message?
· Which method in the SOAP API invitation service of one-time
invitation performs the relevant checking, to trigger the error
message and display to the user via English.xml?
· Is there a patch that needs to be inserted in invitation.java?
· Could a network firewall or OS firewall setting activate a bug in
OpenMeetings? (Any changes to CentOS eth0/eth1 files, iptables and
routing tables of router?)
-----------
Our findings
(1) One-time invitation uses the SOAP API
"org.openmeetings.app.remote.InvitationService" that includes:
a) getInvitation()
b) getInvitationByHashCode()
c) sendInvitationHash()
d) InvitationService Java class
e) invitation.java .
The three valid types of invitation and a method "setAllowEntry()" are
defined in:
~/src/db/java/org/apache/openmeetings/db/entity/room/Invitation.java
public enum Valid { OneTime, Period, Endless;
public static Valid fromInt(int valid) {
return valid == 1 ? Endless : (valid == 2 ? Period : OneTime);
}
}
public void setAllowEntry(boolean allowEntry) {
this.allowEntry = allowEntry;
}
In "english.xml" the corresponding error message has a string id defined as:
<string id="534" name="invitation_error">
<value>This invitation was already used</value>

Thank you.

works for me:
1) enter the room as admin user
2) select Send invitation from the menu
3) enter user email
4) select Period: one time
5) select "generate URL"
6) copy/paste the URL to another browser
Result: everything works as expected

Dear Maxim and Fellow Users of OpenMeetings,
As you requested, we have tested with OpenMeetings-3.0.4 latest
release, yet the invitee receiving the One-Time invitation is unable
to access the meeting room even once. It shows the error message box:
"This invitation was already used".
We have tested the following three scenarios:
1. IT Administrator sends the one-time invitation to Internal User.
2. IT Administrator sends the one-time invitation to External User.
3. External User sends the one-time invitation to Internal User.
All other invitations (Endless and Period) were working in the above
scenarios. Only "one-time" invitation did not work in any of the
above scenarios.

Dear OpenMeetings Users,
We are using, on one of our servers, OpenMeetings version 3.0.3
over Centos-6.5.
When we create an invitation using the "one-time invitation" option,
then Generate URL, and Send it using the Send button,
the invitation is properly sent to and received by the recipient.
However, when the recipient uses this URL (either by clicking or by
copy-paste) from their browser, they get the following message box
error:
"This invitation was already used".
We are able to use for the same installation and recipient, the
other two modes of invitation (Endless and Period) without any failure.
Is there a configuration or any change we need to make.
