Remarks
The GetTicketFor Web method functions as follows:
The caller invokes the Web method specifying the Windows identity of the user for whom the Live Meeting login ticket is to be obtained.
IIS authenticates the caller using integrated Windows authentication.
The Portal does the following:
Verifies that Web method calls are enabled. If not, it returns WebMethodCallsDisabled.
Verifies that the caller is a member of a Windows security group listed in Web method callers. If not, it returns Unauthorized.
Verifies that login is enabled. If not, it returns LoginDisabled.
Calls Active Directory to retrieve the attributes for the user whose windowsId was specified in the call. If the user cannot be found in Active Directory, it returns NotInDirectory.
Calls the Live Meeting GetUser XML API to retrieve the user's Live Meeting account information. If the user does not have an account or is not entitled to have an account, it returns NoAccount_Entitled, NoAccount_NotEntitled, or HasAccount_NotEntitled as appropriate.
Calls the CreateTicket XML API to obtain a login ticket.
Returns Success if the CreateTicket XML API call is successful along with the lmUserId, name, role, and ticket. Otherwise, it returns the XML API error to the caller.
