Create Webex App Service

This procedure adds a Webex App service.

Prerequisites:

To allow VOSS Automate to connect to the Webex App Cloud API, obtain the following from the Cisco Webex page:

  • a Webex App Organization Account Number

  • an Access and Refresh token

Perform these steps:

  1. Log in to the Admin GUI as a provider or reseller administrator.

  2. Select the hierarchy path to the correct customer node.

  3. Select Services > Webex App > Access Token to display Webex App Account.

    The form opens on a separate tab, at the following URL: https://us-central1-webex-teams-auth-token.cloudfunctions.net/webex_teams_oauth

  4. Click the GET TOKENS link.

  5. In the Email address field on the Cisco Webex page, enter a valid email address; then, click Next.

    An email address and password are only required the first time you log in to the Cisco Webex site.

  6. In the Password field on the Cisco Webex page, enter a valid password; then, click Sign In.

  7. View the codes/tokens generated and displayed on the form:

    • Organization ID

    • Access Token (14 days)

    • Refresh Access Token (90 days)

      Note

      • VOSS Automate automatically refreshes the access tokens every 7 days. To manually refresh the access tokens, click GET TOKENS on the Webex App Account form or Action > Refresh Access Token on the Customer Access form.

      • The Refresh Token is valid for 90 days. The number of valid days remaining for the access token is displayed in the Refresh Token Expires in counter on the Webex App Access Token Management for VOSS4UC page.

      • See https://developer.webex.com/docs/integrations for more details on access token management.

  8. Click on each Copy button in turn to copy the item, return to the VOSS Automate tab, and paste in the appropriate field on the Customer Access form. Note that the access tokens must also be pasted into the ‘Repeat’ fields.

  9. Fill out, at minimum, the other mandatory fields on the Customer Access form under Account Details:

Field

Description

Webex App Customer Name

Populated automatically, using the customer name.

Default Calling Behavior

Can be applied to synced in users, if also set in Global Settings (Automatically apply default calling behavior on Webex App user data sync)

Use Organization’s Domain

Can be enabled if you select option Calling in Webex Teams (Unified CM) (same as Webex App Control Hub behavior)

When selected, you may also enable Default UC Manager Profile

Email Domain for Hybrid Calling in Workspaces

When hybrid calling is enabled for a workspace, a dummy subscriber email domain can be added.

Subscription ID

Fill out the subscription ID (as seen on the Control Hub portal) to selectively manage multiple subscriptions in multiple sites. If required, fill out the newly managed subscription ID here.

Site URL

The site URL for Webex Enterprise Edition meeting services. When syncing licenses and subscriptions, VOSS Automate only syncs in subscriptions matching the ID and services from the site.

Enterprise Content Management Enabled and Jabber Team Messaging Mode Enabled

These settings match the configuration setting on the user user feature of the Webex App Control Hub, and apply to the corresponding Default Calling Behavior selection: Calling in Webex App (Unified CM) and Cisco Jabber app.

Note that with these calling behavior options, Quick Add Group Templates for Jabber devices under the Webex App group are applied.

UC Manager Profiles

Added for use when managing users.

HTTP Proxy String

Required only if a proxy server is required to connect to the Webex App cloud, for example: http://[ip address]:port

HTTPS Proxy String

Required only if a proxy server is required to connect to the Webex App cloud, for example: https://[ip address]:port

  1. Click Save. The Webex App Service is added.

  2. Sync the Webex App Users for the customer. To do this, click Action > Sync Webex App Users on the Customer Access form.

    Note

    Webex App Users can also be synced from Administration Tools > Data Sync, and then running the SyncSpark[Customer] data.
