Overview

The Customer App is a lightweight static web application deployed as an Azure Static Web App. It serves two purposes:

1. Test harness - provides a one-click button to generate random test video sessions
2. Future citizen entry point - placeholder for a direct browser-based video experience

Current functionality

The app currently provides a “Initiate Test Session” button that:

1. Fetches a random name from the randomuser.me API
2. Generates a random session UUID
3. Opens the Pexip WebApp in a new window with the session parameters

This allows developers and testers to simulate citizen video sessions without needing the BCSC mobile app.

Connection parameters

Parameter	Value
Conference node	maximus-pexip-conference-01.test.vc.maxconf.ca
Conference prefix	sc (simulated citizen)
PIN	1234 (local policy PIN)
Conference alias	sc + random UUID
Display name	Random first initial + last name + random ID

How production citizens connect

In production, citizens do not use this app. The BCSC mobile app:

1. Calls the IDIM Video API, which calls POST /room/create on MaxConf
2. Receives a room alias and guest PIN
3. Connects directly to the Pexip Conference Node using the Pexip WebApp URL:

https://conference.vc.maxconf.ca/webapp/#/?conference={alias}&name={name}&pin={guest_pin}

Technology

• Single HTML file with inline JavaScript (no build step)
• Deployed to Azure Static Web App
• No server-side logic
• Uses the Pexip WebApp (/webapp/#/) rather than embedding PexRTC directly

Deployment

The Static Web App configuration is in staticwebapp.config.json. The app is deployed via Azure DevOps pipeline alongside the Agent App.
