Set or reset a meeting passcode

By default, when meeting hosts create meetings, they can set a passcode that users must enter to join the meeting. In Connect Central, Account Administrators can enable and disable the ability to enforce passcodes; the ability to enforce passcodes is disabled by default.

Use the Web Services API to do the following:

• Enable and disable the ability of meeting hosts to enforce passcodes for meetings.

• Set, reset, or remove the passcode for a meeting.

• Check whether a meeting has a passcode

• View a list of meetings that require passcodes

Enable and disable the ability to passcode protect meeting rooms

To enable the passcode protect option for an account, call the following API:

http://<server>/api/xml?action=meeting-feature-update&account-id=<acc_id>&feature-id=fid-meeting-passcode-notallowed&enable=false

To disable the passcode protect option, pass enable=true.

Check whether the enforce passcode option is enabled for an account

Call the meeting-feature-info API:

http://<server>/api/xml?action=meeting-feature-info&account-id=<acc_id>

If the result list contains feature-id=fid-meeting-passcode-notallowed, the passcode option is enabled. Otherwise, the passcode option is not enabled. By default, the passcode options is disabled.

Set, reset, or remove a passcode

Call the acl-field-update API and pass the meeting-passcode parameter:

http://<server>/api/xml?action=acl-field-update&acl-id=<sco-id>&field-id=meeting-passcode&value=<passcode>

To remove a passcode, set the value parameter to empty:

http://<server>/api/xml?action=acl-field-update&acl-id=<sco-id>&field-id=meeting-passcode&value=

Check whether a meeting has a passcode

http://<server>/api/xml?action=acl-field-info&filter-field-id=meeting-passcode&acl-id=<sco-id>

If a meeting has a passcode, the result is as follows:

<results> 
<status code="ok"/> 
<acl-fields> 
<field acl-id="22701" field-id="meeting-passcode"><value>connect12</value></field> 
</acl-fields> 
</results>

If passcode is not set then the result is:

<results> 
<status code="ok"/> 
<acl-fields/> 
</results>

View a list of meetings that require passcodes:

http://<server>/api/xml?action=acl-field-list&field-id=meeting-passcode

The result is the list of acl-ids (meeting-ids):

<results> 
<status code="ok"/> 
<acl-field-list> 
<acl acl-id="21907"> 
<value>breeze</value> 
</acl> 
<acl acl-id="22701"> 
<value>connect12</value> 
</acl> 
<acl acl-id="21401"> 
<value>raj</value> 
</acl> 
</acl-field-list> 
</results>
