This document was generated from CDN thread Created by: Ryan Newman on 11-07-2013 03:14:37 PM As part of our plans to build WebEx API integration into our application we plan to use the AuthenticateUser request in order to avoid the need to store users WebEx credentials. Reading the API documentation (http://developer.cisco.com/documents/4733862/4736722/xml_api_5+9.pdf) in chapter 3.1 in the example request for AuthenticateUser a password is supplied (I copied the example below). Is the inclusion of the password in this request a mistake in the documentation? If not what is the point of retrieving the a sessionTicket and SAML response if the user still must supply us with their WebEx password? 1<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Subject: RE: WebEx XML API AuthenticateUser request requires password? Replied by: Jonathan Reitnauer on 23-09-2013 01:26:55 PMThat is indeed a mistake in the docs, the password is not needed in the header section for the AuthenticateUser call assuming a valid samlResponse element is supplied.Once you get back the response, then you use the sessionTicket element in the header in place of password.Subject: RE: WebEx XML API AuthenticateUser request requires password?
