Restricting the Use of Vanity Meeting IDs
By default, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace allows the meeting scheduler to request a specific meeting ID,
such as one that is easy to remember (12345) or one that spells a word (24726 or CISCO). If, however,
an uninvited person knows one of the phone numbers for your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system, that
person can easily guess a popular meeting ID and join a meeting that he is not authorized to attend.

You can prevent unauthorized meeting attendance by disabling the ability to request a vanity meeting ID
when scheduling a meeting. Instead, a unique, randomly generated ID is assigned to every scheduled
meeting. Users cannot change the assigned meeting IDs.
