Authentication with Cisco WebEx Meeting Center
You can use the following types of authentication with Cisco WebEx Meeting Center:
-
Direct Authentication — The client can pass user credentials directly to Cisco WebEx Meeting Center.
To enable direct authentication, complete the following steps: -
Create user accounts for Cisco WebEx Meeting Center using the Cisco WebEx Administration Tool.
Cisco WebEx Meeting Center must validate user credentials in a direct authentication scenario. The user accounts hold the credentials so that Cisco WebEx Meeting Center can validate them when the client attempts to authenticate.
-
Specify Cisco WebEx Meeting Center credentials in the client interface.
See the Overview of Loosely Coupled Integration topic for more information.
-
-
Authentication with an Identity Provider — The client can redirect authentication from Cisco WebEx Meeting Center to an identity provider.
To enable authentication with an identity provider, complete the following steps: -
Set up your identity provider as appropriate.
When users attempt to authenticate with Cisco WebEx Meeting Center, the client redirects that authentication to your identity provider. Your identity provider then validates the credentials and passes an authentication token back to the client. The client then passes that token to Cisco WebEx Meeting Center to complete the authentication process.
-
Specify Cisco WebEx Meeting Center credentials in the client interface.
