Microsoft Live Meeting Online

The Microsoft Online Live Meeting Connector provides users with the ability to programmatically authenticate and authorize the user for the Live Meeting Service and lookup their Company's Conference Center and be redirected. This allows users to remember a simple URL (https://lm.microsoftonline.com), which is clickable via the Sign-In Client. When the Live Meeting icon is clicked, the following steps are followed:

  1. Connect to https://lm.microsoftonline.com
  2. The Connector does a company lookup for the Conference Center URL
  3. The Connector validates that the user browsing to the site is authenticated and enabled for the Live Meeting Service
  4. The Connector checks with the Conference Center to validate that the browsing user has a Conference Center account
    1. If not, during the Conference Center check, the user account is created (on the fly)
  5. When the user is found in the Conference Center, the CC sends a Session Ticket back to the connector along with the direct URL of the Conference Center (302 – Redirect: https://www.livemeeting.com/cc/company?ticket=89sduyf343*&*&Yhu). This allows the client to never have to enter any credentials and easily browse to the site as an authenticated user (SSO).
