Single sign-on requirements

The following system requirements are required to implement federated single sign-on for your Cisco WebEx organization. These system requirements are the same for Cisco WebEx and the Cisco WebEx meeting applications.

Item	Requirement	Notes
Identity and Access Management (IAM) system	Any IAM that conforms to SAML versions (for Cisco WebEx Meeting only) 2.0 or WS-Federation 1.0 standard.	Customers can develop their own SAML-compliant IAM system using programming libraries such as OpenSAML or purchase commercial third party IAM systems such as Ping Federate, CA SiteMinder, Microsoft Windows Server ADFS, Oracle Identity Federation/OpenSSO, Novell Identity Manager and IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager.
X509 Certificate has public key, digitally sign uses private key	From trusted organizations like VeriSign and Thawte in the PEM format.	Alternatively, customers can serve their own X.509 certificates developed in house using self-signed certificates.

The following items are also required:

Your company must have an SAML 2.0 compliant IAM that meets the WS Federation 1.0 standard.
You must provide a corporate X.509 public key certificate to be imported into Cisco WebEx Administration Tool. SAML assertions sent to the Cisco WebEx system are signed with the private key.
You must use a Cisco WebEx supported identity management system (IdP) for tasks such as enabling single sign-on, authentication management, policy-based authorization, identity federation and so on. Supported systems include CA SiteMinder, ADFS, Ping Identity, SAML 2.0 or any WS-Federation 1.0-compliant Identity Management System.
Your IAM must be configured to provide a SAML assertion with the user account information and SAML system IDs required by the Cisco WebEx system.
You must provide the URL for the corporate IAM service to be entered in Cisco WebEx Administration tool.
Users must install the Cisco WebEx application with a command to configure the client for single sign-on and identify the name of your company or organization.
The single sign-on standard for integration with the Cisco WebEx meeting application uses SAML 2.0 or WS-Federation 1.0.
