The Webex Connector synchronizes users from your datastore to Webex. The following describes the behavior of each provisioning capability.
You can configure the following capabilities and specify which users to provision when you get to the Configuring provisioning and single sign-on part of the setup process.
Synchronizing existing users
PingFederate synchronizes users
based on the email
attribute in
Webex. If a user already exists in your datastore and
Webex, mapping this attribute correctly links the two
records together.
For example:
- In Webex, Janet's
email
isjsmith@example.com
. - In your datastore, Janet's
mail
isjsmith@example.com
. - On the Attribute Mapping tab of your provisioning connection
configuration, map the
email
attribute tomail
. - When the provisioning connector runs, the datastore user is provisioned with a
email
ofjsmith@example.com
. That matches Janet's existingemail
in Webex, so her information in the datastore is synchronized to her Webex account.
User provisioning
PingFederate provisions users when any of the following happens:
- A user is added to the datastore group or filter that is targeted by the provisioning connector.
- A user with
disabled
status is added to the datastore group or filter that is targeted by the provisioning connector, and the Provision disabled users provisioning option is enabled. This feature is not available in all provisioning connectors.
You can define which users PingFederate targets for provisioning on the Source Location tab of your provisioning connection configuration.
User updates
PingFederate updates users when a user attribute changes in your datastore.
You can define which attributes PingFederate monitors for changes on the Attribute Mapping tab of your provisioning connection configuration.
User deprovisioning
PingFederate deprovisions users when any of the following happens:
- A user is deleted from the user store.
- A user is disabled in the user store.
- A user is removed from the datastore group or filter that is targeted by the provisioning connector.
