Skillport 8 Patch 23 (8.0.3413) August 2014

Changes and Modifications:

  • The player property RIA_LMS_RESULTS_RELAY is now exposed to the player settings and player settings RO mode in the Skillport Administrator. This property sets the Skillsoft Mobile Player to use a relayer to transmit results to an LMS located on a separate machine from the content.

    Note: This property will be used as part of the cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) solution, which will be implemented in an upcoming Skillport release. Do not use this property until the full CORS solution is released; modifying this property may disable the relayer and not allow the player to communicate with the LMS.
