I might have missed this some where. Where can you find the Authentication key and the chat url?

Drupal101,

Thanks for asking, since it helps me fix an omission in the documentation.

When I install a local RealChat demo server with the command line "./realchat start" I get something like:

Point your browser to: _http://192.168.1.100:10055/

Before moving on, it is best to do "./realchat status" and make sure the answer is:

The daemon is running.

If not, troubleshoot your RealChat server installation until you get that response.

When you point your browser to the URL the installation the installation process gives and log in as "Administrator", click "Client" in the left sidebar to get the "Chat URL" setting.

If you go to "Server" in the left sidebar you can choose to enable "HMAC authentication" and get an auto-generated key (which you must then copy to the admin setting page of the RealChat module on your site). This will let the chat server accept chat requests from your Drupal site and make it very hard for anyone unauthorized to use your RealChat server.
