0 Trouble starting the Python BDK bot when using macOS - SSL CERTIFICATE VERIFY FAILED

**Solution for the SSL Certificate Verify Failed on macOS **

On the macOS operating system, the Python does not use or install the trusted CA certificates by default.

Therefore, you will need to follow the commands below to correct the SSL issue.

In a nutshell: Python 3.6 onwards does not rely on macOS openSSL anymore.
It comes with its own openSSL bundled and does not have access to the macOS root certificates.

Here are the two available options:

0 Person-Selector usage in form in java

Hi Kunaal,

Thank you for your question,

You can only use the MessageML - Person Selector in a specific set of ways, you can have the 'Person Selector' as part of the FreeMarker Template (.FTL).

However, you will not be able to pre-determine the person details such as age and phone number, so it is auto-populated or semi-generated as the end user is entering in the details.

With the MessageML - Person Selector, you will be able to have the person's name shown on the per...

Hi Katina,

Thank you for your patiance & for your question,

When the bot application receives the event via the datafeed, when the form button has been submitted - you will be required to invoke the bot application logic to send an event or message to the analyser service endpoint.

Hi Kunaal,

Thank you for your question,

For the 'Submit Button' - you will not be able to alter the colour of the button as this is specifically set to follow the submit action.

However, if you take a look at the following documentation - you will find that there is other ways to implement the 'Red' button you are looking for. I would recommend reviewing the use case / scenario beforehand as the 'Red' button associates itself with the 'destructive' style format.

Hi Ankit,

Thank you for clarifying,

When you launch the extension application - it first initialises the 'SYMPHONY.services'.
You can run 'SYMPHONY.services.subscribe()' to subscribe your local application.

The 'SYMPHONY.services.subscribe()' is an important process for the extension application registration.
It finds a service - either local or remote - that has been registered and returns it. It will returns false if the service does not exist.

Thank you for your question in the Symphony Forums.

After initialling reviewing your questions on the internet - it seems the issue might be more on the configuration of the SQL side. Most articles do point towards ensuring that you are enforcing all connections on your application with at least TLS 1.2.

Depending on the current configurations you are using at the moment it may fall back to a lower version of TLS 1.x - so you will need to make sure that all existing an...

Hi Jun King,

Thank you for your question,

You have correctly described the example code for running three bot instances - if you use three different configuration files.

However, it is strongly advised that you do not use the same private/public key pair across three bot instances for three different organisations using Symphony - as this would pose a potential security issue from an authentication point of view. It would be better suited to have three seprate private/public key pair...
