Auto Account Creation and Custom Session Types

[Susan McEvilly]

Scenario

• SSO is enabled on a Meeting Center site with auto-account creation enabled
• Two custom session types have been created
• Those two session types need to allocated to the correct user;  not all users receive all custom session types.

Question:

• When a user logs into WebEx for the first time, thereby auto-generating his account, how does the system know which custom session type to align to which new account?

By default they will get all session types available assigned, the IDMS would have to map some attribute flags in the following manner within the SAML Assertion

<ns2:Attribute Name="MT" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:unspecified">

<ns2:AttributeValue>&lt;10,101,234,543&gt;</ns2:AttributeValue>

</ns2:Attribute>

Those comma separated numbers would define those meeting types for that user..

Or you can do a setUser API command after the account is provisioned and change the meeting types to what's required externally from the IDMS.
