In Control Hub, you can enable public apps or your own private embedded apps. Your users access the apps directly in their Webex meetings and spaces.
Through the Webex Developer Portal, you create your own apps and register them for use with Webex. For more information, see Embedded Apps.
There are public and private embedded apps. We have approved public apps for use by everyone. You can add private apps and enable them just for your organization.
Webex for Government only supports private embedded apps. Use https://developer-usgov.webex.com instead of the commercial Webex Developer Portal.
At this time, Embedded Apps only support web-based authentication. The following authentication schemes are not supported:
- Non-web based authentication such as Kerberos.
- Integration authentication via mobile device management such as Microsoft Intune.
- SSO authentication schemes that block the embedded browser.
- Okta multi-factor authentication on MacOS.
We recommend initiating system browser authentication for any authentication that is not supported in the embedded browser. For more information, see: Third-Party Single Sign-On (SSO) Support.
You can allow or block specific embedded apps for your organization through Control Hub.
