XML API 8.0.0 Release Notes



New Telepresence Session Type is not supported by XML API

Description:

XML API will not work with a Site that is set up for Telepresence Session Types. From WBS 29 onwards, additional Telepresence Session Types are being supported, but API will reject any request which include these session types or is for meetings with Telepresence session Type. However APIs like GetSessionInfo, GetMeeting etc. will return if the meeting type is TelePresence.

Please note that the impact of this feature is limited to very few sites which will be enabled for TelePresence and should not impact most of the XML API customers.

Affected API's:

CreateSupportSession, DelSession, CreateMeeting, SetMeeting, DelMeeting, SetupOneClickSettings, CreateEvent, SetEvent, DelEvent, CreateTrainingSession, DelTrainingSession, CreateSupportSession, CreateUser, SetUser, GetSessionInfo, LstSummarySession, CreateTeleconferenceSession, SetTeleconferenceSession, CreateSalesSession, SetSalesSession, DelSalesSession

New return flag for "Telepresence Plus" (Meeting Center Only)

Description:

In order to support mobile clients, the XML API GetSite will return additional flag "SupportTelePresencePlus" information for MeetingCenter as follows:

  • False if site does not support OneTouch TelePresence Plus
  • True if site supports OneTouch TelePresence Plus

Affected API's:

GetSite

Security Enhancements: Site option to enable "One-way hash password storage"

Description:

In order to ensure a high level of security, site administrators have an option to enforce "One-way hash password". For sites that this option is enabled/enforced, there is a change in emails templates sent to users, when an XML API CreateUser or SetUser is used with the "sendWelcome" flag. The email template will no longer include a "View Password" URL, but instead will include a "Reset Password" URL. The Reset Password URL will expire 72 hours after it is sent.

Note: For sites that are not yet enabled with the "One-way hash password" option, the email sent out remains the same.
CreateUser will support the use of default site session types

Description:

When creating a user, a new flag can be used "useSiteDefaultMeetingType". When this flag is set during a CreateUser API call, and the site is set up for "Allow Customizable Session Type" with some default session types, the user will inherit the default session type. This change does not break backward compatibility if the new flag is not used.


Affected API's:

CreateUser
