You can ensure that people only sign in to Webex App using accounts from a predefined list of domains. Use a proxy server to intercept requests and limit the domains that are allowed.
Configure allowed domains
Use this task to configure your web proxy server to limit which account domains can sign in to Webex App from your corporate network. The proxy adds the CiscoSpark-Allowed-Domains HTTP header to Webex identity requests so that only accounts from the domains you specify can sign in. People who attempt to sign in from an unauthorized account receive an error.
This configuration also applies to guests who sign in while their traffic is routed through your corporate network.
Before you begin
-
Install a proxy server that can perform Transport Layer Security (TLS) interception, insert HTTP headers, and filter destinations using fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) or URLs.
The following tested proxy servers have configuration tasks in this article:
-
Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA)
-
Blue Coat

To insert HTTP headers in HTTPS traffic, configure TLS interception on your proxy. See Network requirements for Webex services, and make sure that you meet the requirements for your proxy server.

Configure allowed domains in Cisco WSA
Use this task to add the CiscoSpark-Allowed-Domains custom header in the
Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA) CLI. The header tells Webex which account domains are
allowed to sign in from your corporate network.
