CLI authentication provides your users with more security for their Webex Meetings, Webex Events, and Webex Training sessions.
Overview
Automatic Number Identification (ANI) or Calling Line Identification (CLI) is a form of caller ID that sends a caller's phone number to the system before the call is answered. This allows you to join a meeting without having to enter a meeting number. When you call in to the audio portion of a meeting, the system verifies the number that you called in from against the number added to your Webex site preferences, and then directs you to the correct meeting.
To enable ANI/CLI Authentication, first enable it on the Webex site, then turn it on for each user. If you enable ANI/CLI authentication for users with host accounts, then they can:
-
Schedule a meeting with dial-in ANI/CLI teleconferencing authentication.
-
Specify a phone number to be authenticated when they call in to any ANI/CLI-enabled audio conference. However, they'll be authenticated only if they were invited by email during the scheduling process.
-
Specify an audio PIN to prevent a person from using a fake number to dial in to meetings.
