Enable Entra ID in Control Hub

In Webex for Government, the Entra ID (Azure AD) Wizard App connects exclusively to the Entra ID Global Identity, which covers Consumer/Enterprise and GCC Moderate Entra ID (Azure AD) Customers. GCC High Customers must utilize the Control Hub application in the Microsoft Enterprise Gallery to provision users and groups to Webex. A wizard version supporting GCC High will be available in a future Control Hub release.

Some of the features described in this article aren’t yet available to all customers.

For Enterprise customers (more than 1000 users), or the customers who want to configure the settings manually, click the Attributes tab, and map the attributes. Tryk på Gem.

You can map other user attributes from Entra ID to Webex, or change existing user attribute mappings using the Attributes page. Du kan brugertilpasse tilknytningen ved at sikre, at du konfigurerer den korrekt. Den værdi, du tilknytter som brugernavn, er vigtig. Webex bruger brugerens e-mailadresse som brugernavn. By default, the userPrincipalName (UPN) in Entra ID maps to the email address (username) in Control Hub.

Du kan ikke redigere tilknytningen under den første opsætning. På det tidspunkt er den tilsvarende forekomst ikke helt bygget, og der er ingen forekomst af den tilpassede tilknytningsattribut. Du kan dog klikke på Rediger for at ændre det, når opsætningen er fuldført.

På fanen Mere kan du konfigurere nogle avancerede synkroniseringsmuligheder:

  • Sync user avatars—turn this on to allow Webex App to sync all in-scope user's avatars to Webex. Når en bruger-avatar opdateres, opdateres brugerens avatar automatisk i Webex. Den opdateres muligvis ikke med det samme, fordi den er afhængig af meddelelsen om opdatering for at udløse opdateringen.

  • Sync group objects—turn this on so that the selected group objects on the Groups tab are synchronized to Webex.

  • Activate single sign-on—turn this on to configure OpenID Connect (OIDC) SSO for your organization.

    If your organization already has SSO enabled using one of the SAML options, you must disable the SAML option first before you can activate OIDC SSO in the Entra ID (Azure AD) Wizard App.
  • Identify and sync room objects—turn this on to sync room objects to Webex.

Syncs manager information of users to Webex so that users can always see the correct manager information on a user's contact card.

When a user is created, Entra ID checks if the user's manager object is in Webex Identity or not. If no, the user's manager attribute is ignored. If there is a manager attribute, two conditions must be met for the attribute to show on the user's contact card:

  • The manager object is synced to Webex.
  • The member user is active in Webex App. Technically, it can trigger the backend event to query the user's manager attribute periodically. Therefore, when the user's manager information is added or changed, the user's manager attribute could update through the triggered service.

These conditions check the update to the user's manager attribute when a user's authentication token is expired.

Manager attribute changes won't be reflected on the user's contact card until after the user signs in for the first time after the change.

How can I migrate to Entra ID (Azure AD) Wizard App from Cisco Directory Connector provision?

During setup, the Wizard App detects whether your organization uses Directory Connector. If it is enabled, a dialog box where you can choose to use Entra ID and block Directory Connector. Click Block to confirm that you want to continue the Entra ID (Azure AD) Wizard App configuration.

You can also choose to disable Directory Connector before configuring the Wizard App. After configuration, the Wizard App manages user profiles. However, the Wizard App only manages the users who were added to the synchronization scope; you cannot use the Wizard App to manage users synced by Directory Connector that were not part of the synchronization scope.

Can I configure single sign-on with Microsoft Entra?

You can configure a single sign-on (SSO) integration between a Control Hub customer organization and a deployment that uses Microsoft Entra ID as an identity provider.

When does the user avatar update in Webex?

The user avatars are synced to Webex when the user is created in Webex Identity. This update relies on the user's avatar being updated in Entra ID. The Wizard App then retrieves the new avatar from Entra ID.
