How WebEx Bookings Work

WebEx Username and WebEx Password in their Cisco TMS profile. This ensures that the correct user
"owns" the meeting in WebEx and can log in and operate the WebEx conference.

When Single Sign On (SSO) is enabled for the WebEx site, users with WebEx accounts can book WebEx-
enabled meetings with Cisco TMS without requiring their WebEx password be stored in their Cisco TMS user
profile. When SSO is configured and a user schedules a meeting, their WebEx username from their Cisco
TMS user profile is passed to the WebEx site to complete the booking. For information about how to
configure SSO, see
