Jabber/WebEx Connect SSO Questions

I've got a few questions around exactly what needs to be done to get SAML working for our Connect accounts to successfully authenticate from Jabber for Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android.
We have both a Meeting Center and Connect account under WebEx using Loose Coupled Integration. Just this past week I enabled SAML for our Meeting Center accounts which went off without a hitch with the exception of Meeting Center integration with Jabber, which is now broken with a message about SSO enabled Meeting Sites not being supported (I think this would maybe be fixed if we had Tight Coupled Integration with our two account?).
Anyway, my questions are...
For Windows, I understand all clients will need to be reinstalled with the MSI argument for the SSO_ORG_DOMAIN switch I've read about, is that correct? Are there any other switches needed for the reinstall? 
How will this work with the Mac and mobile clients? There's obviously no command line options to specify for the installations here, will they just know to kick over to my IdP for authentication once they see an email address that falls under an org with SSO enabled? If so, why does the Windows client need to be completely reinstalled and not just know to find the IdP from the Cloud Connect service like Meeting Center does with the Productivity Tools?
We're just doing this for our Connect Web IM accounts, not attempting any sort of SSO with the phone accounts/UC integration yet.
Any ideas on getting the Meeting Center integration into Jabber working again?

I'd suggest posting your question over on the Jabber Pilot forum, as this forum is specific to Jabber Guest questions:

  • BE 3000 with Jabber (for Mac) and webex connect integration problems

    Hi,
    This is my first question on the forum so please be gentle!
    I have a customer who has a Business Edition 3000 and they have purchased WebEx connect and Jabber integration to go with it.
    My problem is I am having difficulty getting the setup to work and I have a number of questions on how to set this up.  Most of the docs on Cisco's website seem to be related to either CUCME or full CUCM, but not a lot on BE 3000.  My questions are below:
    1.  I have been reading the documentation for WebEx connect and it states to set the IP address of the BE 3000 server in the Configuration>Additional Services>Unified Communications>Voicemail tab.  This is currently on the network with a 192.168.x.x address however.  My predecessor put this IP address in the WebEx configuration page but I'm not sure this will work with a private IP as I don't know how this communicates back.  The documentation isn't very clear on this.  Does this have to be a public IP address / FQDN for it to work?
    2.  Are there any SRNDs for this type of setup that could help?  Again, looking through the website hasn't turned anything up yet.
    Note: 
    we are using the following software:
    Jabber for MAC:
    uc-client-mac-8.6.7.20127.fcs.zip
    MAC OS:
    OSX 10.8.3
    BE 3000:
    MCS7890C1-BE8
    8.6.4.10000-15.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Regards,
    Jason

    Hi - I have done this via the admin portal but still cannot get the Jabber client for Mac to register for voice.  The Windows version works fine for the same user and CUCM device.   Are there any other settings that need to be enabled specific to the Mac client?
    Thanks.

  • Jabber for Windows 9.0.1 on WebEx Connect Admin

    When will the Jabber for Windows 9.0.1 client be on the WebEx Connect Admin web site for controlled upgrade of the clients?

    Jabber for Windows 9.0(1) will not be posted automatically for all customers.
    An internal communication will be issued to all internal CSM's and PSM's in the next couple of days explaining the exact procedure for requesting access to the client and how to raise the ops request to make it available for the customer org in question ... so reach out to the your Partner manager to understand that procedure and to enable access for your customers.

  • Jabber connection to Webex connect on the cloud - RTP Flow ?

    Hi All,
    I managed to implement Jabber to connect to either presence on premise or webex connect on the cloud.
    My question is if it gets connected to the Webex connect, how RTP for audio and video travers? do they go to the cloud? thanks

    Even with WebEx Connect the audio and video components (including visual voicemail) still require a VPN connection to the on premise servers. RTP traffic would flow across that VPN tunnel to the company network.

  • Unable to login with Webex Connect and internal VCS simultaneously on Jabber for iPad

    Our users have downloaded the Jabber 9.1 client for their iPad, and we have Webex Connect accounts for IM, as well as internal VCS, TMS, Jabber Video accounts, and VCS Expressway. They install the client on the iPad, select corporate accounts, then go into Webex login information. They enter their credentials, go ahead and log into Jabber and see their contacts. On that screen, there is a box that says "set up Voice and video calling" so they click that, then go to Voice and Video calling, but the only thing thye can select is Jabber for Telepresence. They cannot select VCS on this screen, which would let them go into the VCS internal settings, etc. So if they select jabber for Telepresence, it asks for a username and password but that is all...so it's trying to register them to the free Jabber Video cloud. Is there some step we are missing?  We ultimately want our users to be logged in with their Webex Connect accounts for IM, and have the video portion of the Jabber client pointing to our internal VCS Control.

    The Data Structure that holds the Accounts, User&Groups information is on the Boot Drive. That Data Structure stays on the Boot Drive and cannot be moved, but you can change the Home Directory references stored in it to point to any other drives nearby. This changes where those files are stored.
    Keep in mind that you are specifying EXACTLY where those Home Directories will be stored, and if the names of anything have changed, those Links do not point to the right places any more. (Example: you changed the Home Directory of user Joe to be on the drive named  "Mavrix". Later, you renamed that drive to "Yo", without changing the pointers in User&Groups. Joe can enter his password, and it will be accepted, because the Accounts Directory that holds his password is on the Boot Drive. But Joe's Home Directory files will not be found, and he will get an error message about his Home Directory cannot be located.
    If you use a different Boot Drive, it also contains a Data Structure that has Usernames and passwords, and they may not be the same as the one on any other drive.

  • Jabber 9.1.2 missing DLL's with Win8 64bit and WebEx Connect

    I realize that Windows 8 is not yet listed as supported operating system for Cisco Jabber for Windows, but I would like to make it work anyway I am trying to use Cisco Jabber for Windows 9.1.2 on Windows 8 with WebEx Connect. I am able to log in and IM just fine, but when I attempt to launch an Instant WebEx Meeting the first time, I receive the error
    "WebEx Meeting is unavailable. Unable to connect to WebEx meeting server. Please try again later."
    However, for any subsequent attempt to launch an Instant WebEx Meeting, I receive three errors in this order:
    1) The program can't start because atWbxUI14.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
    2) The program can't start because ATKBCTL.DLL is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
    3) WebEx Meeting is unavailable. Unable to connect to WebEx meeting server. Please try again later.
    In both cases (fresh install and subsequent attempts) I receive an email letting me know that my meeting is in progress. So, I know that it has connected to meeting center and set up the meeting. It just can't seem to launch the WebEx interface. I have no problems launching WebEx by any other method that I have tried (e.g., Productivity Tools, from a browser, or if I uninstall Jabber and install the WebEx Connect client).
    Has anyone seen this one?

    I had actually tried that already, but just for kicks I did it again. Webex Connect was not installed. I uninstalled anything that had the word webex in it. I uninstalled Cisco Jabber. I went through C:\ProgramData and C:\Users\[username]\AppData\, and I deleted anything that had the words Webex or Jabber. I rebooted the computer, I installed Cisco Jabber. I rebooted the computer again before starting the application. Then I went into meetings and clicked "Instant WebEx Meeting." It gets to the point where it is installing the webex plugin. Once the WebEx plugin installion completes, I get the same error as before.
    Since Windows 8 is not listed as a fully supported operating system for Cisco Jabber for Windows, I suppose this kind of thing is to be expected. I was just hoping that maybe someone had found a work around.

  • Jabber not support p2p audio on WebEx Connect.

    Hi, everyone.
    We have received complaints from customers in the WebEx Connect Client peer-to-peer audio functionality. We know Cisco's announcement, after April 3, 2015, a customer has to use Jabber on WebEx Connect. But Jabber doesn't have the peer to peer audio function.
    Customers to be continued use the WebEx Connect Client. Until Jabber with peer-to-peer audio functionality. I think customer claims is hot, and correct.
    Q1. Does Jabber plan to support the peer to peer audio function?
    Q2. We want to use continuous WebEx Connect Client, until p2p audio support on Jabber.
    We escalated to the Webex Customer success Manager, but difficult to change the situation. If this goes on, customers consider stopping the WebEx contract renewal. and considering Skype or LINE for free talk function :(
    regards,
    Kazuki Nakagawa @ Hitachi (HIENG) Japan.

    Haven't been able to try a different speaker yet, but I can add that
    - I successfully used bluetooth with a car phone about a year ago
    - I have tried an iphone 5 with my soundbar, with same choppy/intermittent sound.
    - However, it works perfectly when I stream from my computer using bluetooth.
    Also, I have been in touch with Philips customer care, but I'm inclined to thinking the phone is the source of the problem... (Or, most likely, I am to blame..)

  • Jabber plan to replace WebEx Connect and CUPC

    Can someone from Cisco articulate the roadmap plan for
    WebEx Connect Client
    Cisco Unified Presence Client
    ...in light of the FCS availability of 'Jabber Branded' clients for everything now? Are there subsequent releases planned?
    I thought WebEx Connect {with CUCI Connect for UC} would be replaced by Jabber and the CUPC for Premise based deployments replaced by Jabber, and I would also only need Jabber for the Hybrid case as well?
    But both WebEx Connect client and CUPC have features today, which Jabber doesnt yet, so my educated guess is you are obviously considering this as input for the Jabber roadmap and will not retire the older clients until you have a transparent transition capability?
    WebEx COnnect: Things like Broadcast Message, Group Chat History, Incoming Chat Popup, change status from system tray, view recent emails in contact list, import contacts, and P2P (1:1) video and audio, all possible in WC, but not yet in Jabber FCS clients.
    CUPC: Things like Persistent Chat, CUP HA, Group Chat History, CLick to 'x' from Browser/Office, Desk Phone Video, Personal Contacts.
    Another guess would be that WebEx Connect will continue in parallel, as there are many Cisco customers who enjoy the WebEx SaaS offering and are not Cisco UC infrastructure accounts, and so will continue to use WC?
    But I cant 'guess' when I am standing in front of customers with severl hundred thousand dollars of CAPEX being proposed.
    Appreciate as much guidance you can give here so I can compete using Cisco.
    Steve

    With the upcoming versions of Jabber for Winows 9.1 or Jabber for Mac 9.0 the feature gap between Jabber and WC is getting smaller, and will get smaller with future releases.
    Customer can decide, ie. WebEx Connect is obviously cloud only, so for example when they prefer cloud P2P audio/video, only WC can do this. However Jabber works both cloud and on-prem, moreover if you have CUCM and a complete audio-video infrastructure, you don't focus on P2P audio.

  • WebEx Connect Password reset - in SSO environment

    Hi,
    Anybody knows how to recover from a lost password in a SSO environment?
    Either SSO not working, or having lost static admin user.
    When trying the standard password recovery link, got error message:
    Your password is same as your enterprise Single Sign-On password. Please contact your administrator to reset your single sign-on password.

    Then I get forwarded to AOL again. On that website, it seems that I could change the password, and it seems to work. However, when I try to use that password in the WebEx Connect client after that, it still doesn't work.

  • Configure Jabber for Mac with local CUCM and WebEx Connect

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has been able to configure the Jabber for Mac 8.6.2 client to use the WebEx Connect presence server with a local CUCM and Unity Connection servers. The preferences accounts tab does not show or allow the addition of the voice services. I have added from a working local CUCM preferences plist file what I believe are the correct entries however I still cannot see the accounts on the preferences tab. We currently do not have a local cisco presence server hence the requirement to trial the WebEx Connect server as I can't get past the first configuration step without it.

  • Cisco Webex Connect Jabber 7.2.2 History Missing

    Running Cisco Webex Connect 7.2.2 on W7 x64.
    Anyone run into chat history missing or only showing 1 day of chat when you know that you shoud have weeks and weeks with certain persons?  Default is 9999 days.  Had someone ask me to start CWC as administrator and set to some other value, like 9998 days.  Worked for a while and resurfaced.  Other peers having same issue, so I know it is not specific to my machine.  Even got new machine recently with same OS and CWC and problem has surfaced on this new machine too.
    I saw that the chat is stored in a db3 file.  I do find a couple of those on my machine but not sure if the client is buggy or the file truely is missing the chats.  Would need a dBase III browser to find out more.
    Is there a more current release of CWC 7.2.2 that might have bug fixes in it that relate to chat history being toast?
    Would love to hear from others in here including Cisco support.

    Joe,
    I normally do not monitor this side of the community, but I am active contributor of the Unified Computing Forum, but somehow I happen to come accross your post, so I wanted to take a minute and ask you if you have tried to open a case directly with the team that support Webex? 
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/ps10352/webex_technical_support.html   <<< Look for "Sign in to contact support." on the right
    I hope that helps.

    However it is verifying the email-address until a timeout occurs without re-routing to our authentification web page (ADFS).
    It works with the Webex meeting center client on the same iPhone.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks Roman

    We have the same setup and it is working for us.
    Is it possible to get a connection to the adfs server via the iphone? In my setup I had to imclude https to this system in my vpn profile...

  • Disable webex connect

    Hi.
    I set up Jabber for connection to Unified Presence server, but when Jabber starts, tries to open go.webex.com/...(I see it on Wireshark and on proxy firewall) Therefore it always displays a window with request of login and password for our proxy server.
    Can someone advise how to disable webex connect in Jabber?

    Are you sure you have installed Jabber and not the webex connect client (which will automatically connect to webex connect cloud services).
    In Jabber, before you sign in, you have the choice to choose between server types:

  • WebEx Connect and MeetingPlace 8.0 WebEx Type 2

    Look at that title...
    Okay, we have MeetingPlace 8.0 with a WebEx Node on MCS server using Type 2 integration.  This is working fine.
    We also have WebEx Connect.  This is working fine as well.
    When we try to input our WebEx conferencing account info into Connect it fails with the following error:
    WebEx service center sites with single sign-on (SSO) are not allowed.
    I can't find any documentation on either Cisco's site or WebEx's site about this configuration.  If it's not supported that's fine, I just want to know 100% that it isn't.  So does anyone have any information about this configuration?  Any help will be great.
