WebEx XML API Integration with LMS which is already using SSO for webex...

[santoshmalisp]

Hello,

Below is the scenarion in which i want some inputs for implementation of webex xml api .

We have developed LMS web application, and there is a customer who is using Ping Identity for all their third party websites for authentication, including WebEx and our LMS website.

So now question is if our customer is already using SSO for WebEx then how should we proceed with implementation? As customer wont provide us username and password for creating meetings or trainings using WebEx XML API.  Below is overall architecture kind of thing.

For WebEx XML API's username and password is needed, but if customer is already using SSO for webex then is there any way to create meetings using api's without providing crednetails?

Thanks,

Santosh

You will have to integrate with there IDMS directly; retrieve a signed SAML Assertion from there IDMS, then use that SAML Response in an AuthenticateUser XML API Request..

The AuthenticateUser Request will return a SessionTicket, and then you can use that SessionTicket to replace the password in the XML API's SecurityContext for all of the rest of the WebEx XML API's.

Integrating with the customers IDMS is usually the hardest part..
