Google Gadget Authentication question

Combination View Flat View Tree View
Threads [ Previous | Next ]
Hello,
 
 
What is the best way to implement, in the google gadget, to beside having only the IP field of CUCM and the name of the End-User, to also have the PIN or Password necessary for that user to register in CUCM? So that someone cant login with another user beside theirself.
 
 
 
 
Thanks for your time,
Best regards

Hi Nuno,

Good point, authentication is on the list of items to add to the gadget ! We are investigating different possibilities. One is to make the CUCM user field read-only, and always reuse the Google user id as the CUCM one, assuming they match. For example, user signs in to Google as myuser@gmail,com, the gadget would register with CUCM as user "myuser". Would it work in your case ?
The latest Jabber SDK plugin (version 2.0) supports CUCM authentication, this could require to save the user password for a better user experience, not sure how to do it properly. And we would like the gadget to remain compatible with both versions of the SDK.

You may have other ideas ?

Thanks, Thomas

Hello Thomas!


Thanks for your feedback!


I also have thought about that solution and it is a great one!! But from what I've searched on the web I cant seem to find a method that returns me the gmail/domain user, without using html scrapping.... Maybe you could help? emoticon




Thanks for your time

Hi Nuno,

We are preparing an new version of the gadget which will allow the admin to make the CUCM user field read-only, pre-populated with the Google user id.
See it in action here:

We plan to publish a "stable" and a "dev" channel soon. Would you be interested in testing the latest gadget ?

Thanks, Thomas

Hey Thomas!




Yes I would like to test your latest gadget!

Are you planning on implementing Call Transfer and Call Forwarding on this new version?




Best regards

Hi Arianna,

Sorry for the delayed reply I was away last week.

Hope this helps,

Hello Thomas,

Hope you are doing fine emoticon

I just found the Chrome Gadget for Jabber and just get started to play around with it,
but i do face a login problem.

I checked the checkbox that i authenticate the user against CUCM,
but when i take a look into the Java SC,
i do see, that the authentication is disabled.

sure, i checked if everything is fine with the account and i'm able to log in through Jabber "direct" App.

Could you take a look, why this gadget does not authenticate against CUCM?
If i would name the user same as my google account, still would not work,
because the PW is not transmitted.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Ayca,

Glad to hear you are testing the Jabber gadget !
You are correct, there seems to be a bug in the current stable gadget (version 0.2.1.4). I will have a look as soon as possible.

What versions of the gadget (displayed in the GMail settings) and plugin (Cisco Web Communicator) are you running ?
Only plugin 2.0+ supports CUCM user authentication.

Cheers, Thomas
