GetSessionInfo now returns more information for mobile clients
Description:
GetSessionInfo now returns Is Registration ID RequiredRegistration ID, Registration Status, Registration URL, and panelist-related information for mobile users.
1. Is Registration ID Required:
The GetSessionInfo response now includes the new element isRegisterIDRequired. See figure below.
2. Registration ID:
This information is returned only if the user is an attendee, the event is set to registration required, and the attendee registration is approved.
3. Registration Status:
The definition of the original schema is pictured below. The registration status is actually returned as joinStatus.
The conditions are detailed in the table below, and apply to MC/TC, as well.
| Invited | Registered | Rejected | Approved | GetSessionInfo Response |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Y | Y | N | Y | ACCEPT |
| Y | Y | Y | N | REJECT |
| Y | Y | N | N | REGISTER |
| Y | N | N | N | INVITE |
| N | Y | N | Y | ACCEPT |
| N | Y | Y | N | REJECT |
| N | Y | N | N | REGISTER |
| N | N | N | N | No Return |
4. Registration URL:
Originally GetSessionInfo already returned registrationURL, but not for EC mobile support. EC on mobile requires a new registration URL for display on the mobile device. The URL format is like this:
http://<siteURL>.webex.com/${tc appname}/eventcenter/enroll/mobileRegister.do?
formId=0&formType=0&loadFlag=1&siteurl=&confID=
If the user calls GetSessionInfo with login info, then it will return registrationURLForMobile. If the session ticket exists, then the API will return a login with session ticket URL such as:
https://<siteURL>.webex.com/<siteurl>/p.php?
AT=LI&WID=<username>&SK=<sessionticket>&MU=[registrationURL for mobile];
</sessionticket></username></siteurl>
If the session ticket does not exist, then the return URL will be [registrationURL for mobile];
5. Panelist Information:
For an EC meeting, the attendee can join the EC meeting directly as an Attendee or as a Panelist. The Host can set the Panelist password.
Now GetSessionInfo returns the following information regarding panelists:
- attendeeRole, which indicates if the attendee is a panelist
- isPanelistPasswordRequired, which lets you know if the panelist needs a password
- panelistPassword, the password for the panelist
The isPanelistPasswordRequired and panelistPassword elements are added as seen below:
| Element | Parent | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| panelistPassword | getSessionInfoResponse | Panelist password for Event Center | String | null |
| isPanelistPasswordRequired | getSessionInfoResponse | If an EC meeting requires a panelist password | Boolean | False |
