In the past few days or weeks, you might have gotten a notification from Cisco letting you know that your Webex SP certificate is expiring soon, and some action is required. What even is a Webex SP certificate? This guide will help walk you thru what the certificate is, why it's important to renew it, and how to do it.
What is the Webex SP Certificate?
The Cisco Webex SP is used to help SAML authentication occur. Without this, there cannot be any signing or decryption of authentication requests to log in to Webex using SSO!
Why is it important to renew?
Certificates expire, not just for Webex, but for all SAML providers! Keeping certificates up to date allows for the encryption and decryption of authentication requests, and continues to let users sign in to Webex services, keeping those Conferences and Productivity going!
So how do I renew?
The steps differ depending on what IDP you are using, however you can reference this guide here to learn more about how to do it. If you use Azure AD, you can even follow this video tutorial here to renew the certificate, or if you use ADFS, you can follow this video tutorial found here.
