If you already have a Vivox integration that's using VATs for players to join channels and interact with Vivox, you can use this guide to integrate with UAS to access the full suite of services Unity provides. You will have to make some changes to the player sign-in flow and the VAT creation flow. Overall, the two flows will work like this:
Sign In
- Register all users with the UAS custom ID provider on sign-in and retrieve and
accessTokenfor players.sessionTokens - Set up the AuthenticationService in the client using the and
accessTokensessionToken
Important
You might not need to use VATs at all. VATs are only needed if you have custom logic in your backend to determine if a player is allowed to access a specific channel.
If this is not the case, you can simply remove the VAT generation flow and let the Unity Authentication SDK handle it.
Simply use the default initialization for Vivox: and skip the Creating VATs step.
await VivoxService.Instance.InitializeAsync();Creating VATs
- The Vivox SDK will request a VAT from the backend whenever one is needed using a custom token provider implementation.
- Add the to the request to the backend when requesting VATs within the
accessTokenmethod.GetTokenAsync - Validate and extract the needed information from the token in the backend and create the Vivox Access Token to send it back to the client.
