Webex Scheduler for Outlook with On-prem Exchange

[arianbrowne]

Hi Team,

Currently doing a deployment of Webex Scheduler for an entire organization. Can we bypass the login screen for every single user?

Our Webex Control Hub has a Directory Connector and Exchange Hybrid calendar deployed and running.

I think the February update will still require each user to login.  The only benefit I see in the description is it auto populates the user name before redirecting to the SSO sign in page.

The what’s new article states that this is part of the February release schedule. I’m not certain this applies to on-prem Exchange nor am I clear what an “on-site toggle” is. I’m asking internally but you may want to ask your Webex CSM for additional detail/guidance here.

Pre-populate sign in screen with current outlook email address

Webex Scheduler for Microsoft Outlook now automatically uses the current Outlook email address as the username when the Webex Scheduler signs into Webex. If the user is configured with SSO in Webex Control Hub, they can automatically be directed to their SSO sign-in page. If SSO isn’t enabled for the user, they are prompted to enter their Webex password.

This feature is currently on-site toggle.

Thank you, we don't have SSO deployed as yet, hopefully, by then I will be able to provide feedback on my progress and the on-site toggle.

@Jonathan Schulenberg Would you happen to know where this setting is controlled in Control Hub as stated in the What's new announcement?

I tried to find it in CH, but either I'm blind or it is not there.

I reached out to the PM team. This feature was published prematurely; mention of it has since been scrubbed from the What's New page. Development is not finished - especially the admin toggle in WCH. They did not offer a timeline when it will be available, unfortunately.

Thank you! For your reference the PM has yet not scrubbed this from the document.
