AutoDiscovery library

AutoDiscovery.js is a JavaScript library that helps an application find the Microsoft Unified Communications Web API 2.0 home server.

Applies to: Skype for Business 2015

Use the functions in the AutoDiscovery module to discover the correct location of the AutoDiscover service and set up a Transport object with the correct final domain. For more information, see Transport library.

Create an AutoDiscovery object

The AutoDiscovery constructor has one parameter: a Transport object. Before an Autodiscovery object can be created, an object representing the parameter must be created.

var domain = "https://www.example.com",
targetOrigin = "https://www.consoso.com",
Transport = new microsoft.rtc.ucwa.samples.Transport(targetOrigin);
AutoDiscovery = microsoft.rtc.ucwa.samples.AutoDiscovery(Transport);

The variables declared in the preceding example are used in subsequent examples in this topic.

startDiscovery(domain, container, callback)

The startDiscovery function is the starting point for auto-discovery.

Syntax

startDiscovery(domain, container, callback)

Example

function handleResult(data) {
 if (data !== null) {
 // Can start authentication.
 } else {
 // Something went wrong as it was unable to find AutoDiscoverService root.
 }
}
AutoDiscovery.startDiscovery(domain, container, handleResult);

Remarks

The startDiscovery function stores the supplied callback, and begins the internal processing of auto-discovery.
