A key feature in Cisco WebEx Connect allows you to view the presence status of other Cisco WebEx
Connect users that are not on your contact list but are participants in meeting events listed in the Calendar
tab or members in spaces that you are also a member of. Improvements to temporary presence extend the
ability for you to view the presence status of Cisco WebEx Connect users in both your domain and other
domains within the same organization.
• Simplified Add Contacts experience: Finding a contact to add to the contact list has never been easier.
The improved Add Contacts interface allows you to easily search the company’s Cisco WebEx Connect
user directory to locate the desired contact. If the Cisco WebEx Connect username of the contact is
already known or you wish to add a screen name from the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) network, you
can quickly enter this information. (Support for AIM federation is required in order to add and
communicate with contacts on the AIM network.)
• New languages supported: Cisco WebEx Connect is now available in the following languages:
o Chinese (Simplified)
o English
o French
o German
o Italian
o Japanese
o Spanish
Cisco WebEx Connect can be installed in any of the languages in the previous list. In addition, once Cisco

Cisco WebEx Connect
Web IM
Cisco WebEx Connect version C 6.5.1 includes the first release of Cisco WebEx Connect Web IM, which is
available by using a web browser. It includes all the instant messaging (IM) features that are available in Cisco
WebEx Connect, including contact list management, presence, profiles, one-on-one IM, and group chat. WebEx
meeting reminders are also supported. The most important features are discussed briefly below. For more details
about these features, refer to the online help:
• Contacts: The contact list includes your contacts, personal groups, and directory groups. You can view
the presence status for each of your contacts and communicate with them. You can also view the picture
of your contact and status for each. In addition, if your contacts are offline, they can be listed within the
group they belong to. Outstanding invitations, if any, are shown in a separate group.
• Contact list menu options: The contact list has two menus:
o The View menu, which controls how your contact list is displayed.
o The Actions menu, which allows you to take actions related to your contacts, groups, and
communications with them.
What’s New in This Release?

• Right-click menu: When you right-click a contact name, can perform additional actions related to the
contact.
• Add contacts and groups: You can add contacts and groups with a single action from the contact list.
You can add contacts by selecting names from a directory (if that feature is turned on) or by typing their
email addresses. When you add contacts, you can assign them to an existing personal group or create a
new group for them.
What’s New in This Release?
6
You can add personal groups as well as directory groups (if that feature is turned on) from the same
window.
• Status messages: The web client supports the following presence status messages: “Available,” “Away,”
and “Do Not Disturb.” You can also change your status message easily from the list, and you can store up
to five custom status messages for the “Available” and “Away” presence states.
• One-to-one IM sessions and group chat sessions: You can chat with a contact simply by double clicking
on the contact’s name. A separate chat window opens and allows you to chat easily with the person. You
can use emoticons and you can also turn on a typing indicator to make it clear when you are typing text.
Timestamps are clearly displayed with text messages at intervals of one minute for continuous messages
from the same person or when a new message arrives from another person. Clear visual elements indicate
incoming messages, active windows, and inactive windows.
What’s New in This Release?

You can minimize IM windows at the bottom of the page. A minimized window shows an incoming
message alert when there is a new message. You can click on the minimized window to restore it again.
• Group chat: You can expand a one-to-one IM session into a group chat session by inviting users from the
IM window or from the contact list. The group chat session opens in a new window and you do not lose
your individual IM sessions. The Group chat window clearly shows the people who have joined the
session as well as those who were invited but have not yet joined.
• Profile: You can specify your profile information, including uploading pictures (if your administrator has
turned on that feature). You also can also view the profile information in the contact “business card” for
each of your contacts by moving the pointer over their name.
What’s New in This Release?

options:
o Notifications: Contact invitations and sounds
o Privacy: Contact business card, blocking
o WebEx Meetings: Host accounts, One-Click meetings
o Security: Change password.
• WebEx meetings: Reminders for WebEx meetings appear in your Cisco WebEx Connect Web IM page
15 minutes before the start time. You can click the link to see the meeting details and you can also start or
join a WebEx meeting directly from the reminder.
• Browser support: Cisco WebEx Connect Web IM supports the following browsers:
o Internet Explorer 7.0 and 8.0
o Firefox 3.0 and 3.5
o Safari 4.0

Instant message session
logging and archiving
Instant message (IM) session logging and archiving is a new functionality that has been introduced in version
C6.5.1. It allows you to log IM server-side sessions that users in your organization exchange with each other or with
users outside you organization (if you permit IM sessions with external users). The logged IM sessions can then be
sent to be archived to an Archival store for auditing purposes. In most cases, logging and archiving is done primarily
to comply with enterprise's information audit policies.
The logged messages are only stored temporarily in the Cisco WebEx Data Centers until they can be sent to an
archival store for permanent storage. The messages are deleted from their temporary store once they are delivered to
the archival store. The following archival solutions are supported:
• Iron Mountain DRC-CM
• Global Relay Message Archiver
• Secure SMTP Service: This option allows you to configure a SMTP server to receive IM sessions as
emails. This allows the IM sessions to be part of the same archival as your emails, enabling you to use the
same archival and auditing solution that you use for email.
Iron Mountain DRC-CM and Global Relay Message Archiver are SaaS-based message archiving services.
Administrators can configure archiving endpoints in the Cisco WebEx Connect Administration Tool, and can also
set up users to have their IM sessions logged.
Cisco WebEx Connect
Administrative Tool
Enhancements
• Link to change forgotten password: When administrators sign in to the Cisco WebEx Connect
Administration Tool (www.webex.com/go/connectadmin), if they forget their password, they can use the
Forgot Password link to change their password.
• Simplified toolbars: The user management and group management toolbars have fewer buttons to show
the most-used actions, and the less frequently-used actions have been moved to the More Actions menu.
• User search: The text and icons for user search options have been simplified to make it easier to select
search options and specify search keywords.
• Configuration Tab—IM Archiving: A new interface allows IM archiving endpoints to be set up and
managed.
• Policy Editor—Simplified Action Editor: The Simplified Action Editor displays a dialog box with radio
buttons, which simplifies disabling of selected capabilities. When the administrator selects Advanced
Options, the previous Action Editor appears.
• View users by Cisco Unified Communications cluster: Cisco Unified Communications clusters are
logical configuration blocks that administrators can set up in the Cisco WebEx Connect Administration
Tool. These clusters are designed for allocating groups of users to physical Cisco Unified Communications
environments and automating the client configuration process. Administrators can view a list of the users
What’s New in This Release?
10
assigned to each group by selecting the View Cluster Users icon for each cluster.
SSO Enhancements • Customer Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) metadata: Configuring Security Assertion
Markup Language (SAML) single sign-on (SSO) to Cisco WebEx Connect is now significantly easier for
customers. Customers should retrieve a SAML 2.0 IdP metadata file from their Identity Management
System (IDMS). On the Cisco WebEx Connect Administration Tool Federated Web SSO Configuration
page, an administrator can import the IdP metadata file, automatically upload the encoded Organization
Certificate, and set the following SSO parameters:
o Issuer for SAML (IdP ID)
o Customer SSO Service Login URL
o AuthnRequest Signed checkbox
o Destination
Administrators can also use Cisco WebEx Connect Administration Tool to export a SAML 2.0 SP metadata
file to be uploaded to the organization’s IDMS to automatically set SSO parameters. This SP metadata file
will include the encoded WebEx Certificate used to sign the AuthnRequest and Single Logout request along
with the following parameters:
o WebEx SAML Issuer (SP ID)
o AuthnRequest Signed
o AssertionConsumerService
o Organization—set to Cisco WebEx
o ContactPerson
• Partner SAML Metadata: Partner organizations can also configure SSO to their customer organizations
using SAML metadata files. Partners should retrieve a SAML 2.0 IdP metadata file from their IDMS. On
the Cisco WebEx Connect Administration Tool Partner SSO Configuration page, administrators can
import the IdP metadata file and automatically upload the encoded Partner Certificate and set the following
SSO parameters:
o Partner Issuer (IdP ID)
o Partner User Login URL
Administrators can also use the Cisco WebEx Connect Administration Tool to export a SAML 2.0 SP
metadata file that can be uploaded to the partner’s IDMS to automatically set SSO parameters. This SP
metadata file includes the encoded WebEx Certificate along with the following parameters:
o WebEx SAML Issuer (SP ID)
o AssertionConsumerService
o Organization—set to Cisco WebEx
o ContactPerson—set to Cisco WebEx
What’s New in This Release?
11
• Removed dependency between SSO and FTP Directory Integration: Administrators can now turn SSO
and FTP Directory Integration functionality on or off independently. If FTP Directory Integration is turned
on and SSO is not turned on, the Cisco WebEx Connect Administration Tool allows users to reset their
passwords.
• New fields in user import and export of comma-separated values (CSV) files and SAML Auto Account creation The following fields have been added to the Cisco WebEx Connect Administration Tool
User imported or exported comma-separated values (CSV) file and SAML Auto Account creation
assertion:
o employeeId (CSV) / employeeid (SAML)—a customer-specified unique identifier for each
Connect user that cannot be changed. Same as the userssoid field in FTP Directory Integration.
o imloggingenabled—Boolean field that determines whether to log IM messages.
o imloggingendpointname
Discontinued features • Access to the Cisco WebEx Connect Administration Tool from within Cisco WebEx Connect (MyWebEx): Administrators can now use the Cisco WebEx Connect Administration Tool only by
pointing to http://www.webex.com/go/connectadmin. The Cisco WebEx Connect Administration Tool is
no longer available from the MyWebEx tab in Cisco WebEx Connect.
• Calendar and To-Do widgets: The Calendar and To-Do widgets are no longer supported for Cisco
WebEx Connect users. These widgets are also no longer listed in the widget library. If users had
previously added these widgets to a space, the widgets are no longer functional within the space. Users
who try to access these widgets within the space receive a message that the widgets are no longer
available.

Known Issues/Limitations
13
• If two windows are too close to each other or overlap, it may not be possible to move or close them.
IM logging and archiving • If the IM logging feature is turned on for a user, and the user has end-to-end encryption turned on, the end-
to-end encryption policy is turned off for the user.
• Users who have the IM logging feature turned on must use either Cisco WebEx Connect version C6.5.1 or
Cisco WebEx Connect Web IM, even though users are currently not prevented from logging in to an
earlier version of Cisco WebEx Connect.
• If the IM logging feature is turned on for a user, and the user also has an end-to-end encrypted IM session
open with a user who does not have the IM logging feature turned on, when the logged user signs into
Cisco WebEx Connect again, the user may receive the error “An IM session cannot be established with this
contact, because your security certificate is invalid.” When this message appears, one of the users must
close the IM session and start a new one.
• If the Cisco Unified Communications integration is turned on, dialing a non-existing phone number
(111111111) results in the following additional message being logged:
[<Time stamp>] 111111111:
NOTE: Communications with [email protected] are logged.
• If a Cisco WebEx Connect version C6.5 user and a version C5.1 user are in an IM session with each other,
both participants will receive two notifications (instead on one notification each).
• In an IM session between two logged users, the notification is not displayed when one of the logged users
signs out, signs back in, and then starts an IM session with the same user.
Cisco Unified
Communications Integration
Some Cisco WebEx Connect users who have earlier versions of Cisco Unified Communications Integration installed
may have trouble logging in to Cisco WebEx Connect and may receive one or more of the following error messages:
• cucsf.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.
• Failed to sign in. Unknown error. Please contact your system administrator.
• Problem detected. System is recovering. Please wait.
This issue may be caused by some inaccurate certificate data in earlier versions of the Cisco Unified
Communications Integration. To resolve this problem, install the latest version of the Cisco Unified Communications
Integration. For more information, contact Support.
Unable to search the
Microsoft Outlook Global
Address List for contacts
The Add Contact dialog box has been simplified so that users searching for contacts to add to their contact lists can
search only the Cisco WebEx Connect user database. Users are no longer able to search the Microsoft Outlook
Global Address List (GAL) for contacts.
Unable to send a message in
Discussions within an open
Space
If a user has a particular Space open for an extended period of time, the user may be unable to send a message in the
Discussions tab. The workaround is to close the Space and reopen it to continue to participate in sending messages in
the Discussions tab for this particular Space
Cisco WebEx Connect
username displayed in
Desktop sharing
The ToolTip indicating who has control of the desktop sharing session incorrectly shows the contact username
instead of the contact display name (for example, the First Name and Last Name).
Unable to receive message
when signed in from both
Cisco WebEx Connect and
Psi
If you have signed in to Cisco WebEx Connect and to the Psi instant message application (http://psi-im.org/) at the
same time and have set your presence status to “Custom Away” in Cisco WebEx Connect and to “Away” in Psi, you
may not receive messages correctly on Cisco WebEx Connect.
Known Issues/Limitations
14
Unable to view the business
card of some contacts
You may not be able to view the business card of some of your contacts who are not part of your company or
organization. This issue may occur if any of your contacts who are not in your organization have set their profile
permissions to My Organization and/or My Network and your contact has not added you as a contact to their
contact list.
Compatibility of the Show
contact pictures in my contact list option with
previous versions of Cisco
WebEx Connect
Checking the Allow users to set “Show contact pictures in my contact list” option in the Cisco WebEx Connect
Administrative Tool causes the option Show contact pictures in my contact list to be unchecked for Cisco WebEx
Connect users who are using a version earlier than build 5508 (version 6.1.0). The workaround for this problem is to
uncheck the Allow users to set “Show contact pictures in my contact list” option and check the Show contact
pictures in my contact list option in the Cisco WebEx Connect Administrative Tool. See the following illustration:
This workaround is not necessary once all users have upgraded to version 6.1.0 of Cisco WebEx Connect.
Cisco WebEx Connect
version 5.x and 6.0
functionality incompatibility
The following Cisco WebEx Connect features do not work between Cisco WebEx Connect version C5.x and version
C6:
• File transfer
• Group chat
• PC-to-PC call
• Video call
• Click-to-conference
• AES encryption
• Rich presence status messages (for example, “In a WebEx Meeting,” “On a video call,” and so on)
• Outlook Integration presence display (for example, the Outlook and Calendar event participant list):
o In C6, users cannot see the presence of C5 contacts (applies only to C5 contacts that are not on the C6
contact list)
o In C5, users cannot see the presence of C6 contacts (applies only to C6 contacts that are not on the C5
contact list)
Dragging and dropping a file
to the IM input window
If a user installs Cisco WebEx Connect and immediately starts Cisco WebEx Connect after the install, the user will
not be able to drag and drop a file into the IM window to start a file transfer. The user must exit and then restart
Cisco WebEx Connect. This issue only occurs on Cisco WebEx Connect running on Windows Vista. [332155]
Dragging and dropping a file
from the IM window to the
desktop
Dragging and dropping a file from the IM window that has been sent through the file transfer feature of Cisco
WebEx Connect to copy the file to the Windows desktop is not supported. [336684]
Presence for contacts in
different organizations
Presence data is displayed for all contacts you have added to your contact list. For a contact that you have not added
to your contact list but appears in the Observer group, member panel in group chat and space window, and event
participant list in the Calendar tab,
You are able to see the presence data of that contact if the contact belongs in your organization.
You are not able to see the presence data of that contact if the contact belongs in a different organization. [338436]
Presence display for Cisco
WebEx Connect C5 and C6
If a C6 user invites a C5 user into a space, the C6 user cannot view the presence status of the C5 user. The same is
true if a C5 user invites a C6 user to a space; the C5 user cannot view the C6 user’s presence. [326647]
Uninstalling Cisco WebEx
Connect on Windows Vista
When uninstalling Cisco WebEx Connect on the Windows Vista operating system, the User Account Control dialog
says that an “Unknown Publisher” wants to access your computer and asks if you want to allow it to continue. The
“Unknown Publisher” should be listed as Cisco WebEx Connect. The user should click Allow and Cisco WebEx
Connect will be uninstalled. [335193]
Desktop sharing on Windows
Vista
If the Host of a desktop sharing session is running the Windows Vista operating system with their Windows color
scheme set to “Window Aero,” some areas of the desktop may not be visible to attendees of the desktop sharing
session. [336491]
Joining a WebEx meeting In some cases, if an invitee of a WebEx meeting tries to join a meeting, they may receive a “Page not found” error. If
this error occurs in C6, the respective T26 or T27 WebEx Meeting Center service website may need to be updated
with a service pack in order for the join feature to work correctly. [329857]
Known Issues/Limitations
15
WebEx meeting username
and password
After a user upgrades from Cisco WebEx Connect 5.1 to 6.0, the WebEx Meeting Center host account username and
password stored in the Cisco WebEx Connect application will be lost. The user must enter the username and
password again for the WebEx Meeting Center account in the Cisco WebEx Connect Settings menu. [340901]
Starting a WebEx meeting
after a previous meeting ends
Users may not be able to start a new WebEx meeting if they start it immediately after joining a meeting that has
ended. If a user receives a WebEx meeting invitation, but the host ends the meeting before the user has joined the
meeting, the user will receive an error when they click on the "Join" link. The user will then be unable to start a new
meeting for 90 seconds. After 90 seconds, the user will be able to start a new WebEx meeting. [334225]
Using a secure connection If a Cisco WebEx Connect user is using a secure connection with an encryption policy of either “AES or SSL” or
“SSL,” and an unknown AIM user sends the Cisco WebEx Connect user an instant message, the Cisco WebEx
Connect user will still receive the first message from the unknown AIM user, but subsequent messages sent by that
user will be blocked. This issue occurs because the unknown user is automatically added as a temporary buddy, and
the Cisco WebEx Connect application initially assumes the buddy has secure connection status until it determines
that the buddy has not signed in with a secure connection. [312426]
Inviting offline users to
audio conference
If the host of an audio conference does not have Microsoft Outlook set up on his or her computer, email invitations
will not be sent to offline users to join the audio conference. [328447]
Opening multiple items at
the same time
If a user opens a space, opens a discussion topic, and initiates a PC-to-PC call, the Cisco WebEx Connect application
may crash; however, this condition occurs only 1% of the time. [341591]
Username and password
prompt from an open file
If a file is open during a GSB switchover, the user may see a prompt for a username and password. If the error
occurs, the user can simply close the file after seeing the prompt and then reopen the file. [340665]
Storage calculation Storage use is calculated only when the user signs in and not afterwards, so if a user uploads documents, the total
storage use amount will not include the storage used by the recently uploaded documents until the next time the user
signs in. [334937]
Search The Search feature has the following issues:
• Partial word searches are not supported. For example, searching for “opi” will not result in the word “topic”
being returned, but “opinion” will be returned in the results. [339934]
• Mixed language search is not supported. [333547] [332947]
• Special characters are not supported in search queries. [301191]
Online help Online help will not work with FireFox 3.x [331181]
Browser widget Websites that redirect to another page are not supported in the Browser widget. [281478, 315677]
IM LDAP groups IM LDAP groups (corporate groups) cannot be deleted. [311563]
File upload File upload will not work during failover to GSB. [335111]
Org Migration from AOL to
Jabber
Cannot migrate Org from AOL to Jabber if Org has failed over to GSB. [341521]
Known Issues/Limitations
16
Org Migration from C5.1 to
C6.0
Some contacts may be missing after migrating from version C5.1 to version C6.0. At the time a user logs in to Cisco
WebEx Connect version C5.1, the Cisco WebEx Connect application saves the user’s contact list data to the
database. If a user adds new contacts to his or her contact list, this new contact data is not saved to the database until
the user signs out of Cisco WebEx Connect and then signs in again. As a result, if the user’s company migrates from
C5.1 to C6.0, those users who have added new contacts and have not signed out and signed back in to the C5.1 Cisco
WebEx Connect application to save the newly added contact data to the database prior to migration will not see these
newly added contacts when they use the C6.0 Cisco WebEx Connect application.
To avoid this problem, it is recommended that customers be informed about this issue before their respective
migration date, so they can notify their user base. All users who have added new contacts to the contact list will need
to sign off the C5.1 Cisco WebEx Connect application and then sign in to the C5.1 Cisco WebEx Connect
application before their company migrates Cisco WebEx Connect from C5.1 to C6.0. If a user does not follow this
procedure, their newly added contacts will not be migrated to the C6 Cisco WebEx Connect application. [340925]
Cisco WebEx Connect
Administrative Tool
The Cisco WebEx Connect Administrative Tool has the following issues:
• If an administrator signs in to the Cisco WebEx Connect Administrative Tool and then clicks the Back
button in Internet Explorer 7, the Cisco WebEx Connect Administrative Tool is no longer available.
[331839]
• When an administrator clicks the right click button in the Cisco WebEx Connect Administrative Tool, the
right-click menu may appear in a different location instead of near the mouse cursor. [338492]
• The Cisco WebEx Connect administrator may not be able to navigate to some groups in Groups tab. In
some customer implementations with directory integration, it is possible to have groups created at the same
level as the default top-level group. However, the current Groups tab user interface supports navigation of
only the default top-level group and the sub-groups under it. To locate groups outside the default top-level
group, administrators can use the Search feature. [336930]
When there are multiple groups with same name, the administrator will not be able to specify one or more of those
groups for a user. In order to specify the group for the user, the administrator should rename the group name to a
unique name and then try again. [341162]
Registration page Users who register themselves for a Cisco WebEx Connect account may not receive a WebEx Meeting Center
account if the number of WebEx Meeting Center accounts has exceeded the licensed limit. The user will be unable to
start and join meetings. This condition occurs only for customers using the Cisco WebEx Connect integration to
WebEx Meeting Center. To resolve this problem, contact your Cisco WebEx representative to increase the number
of WebEx Meeting Center account licenses. [340655]
Users cannot use keyboard controls to select items from a list (for example, the Country name list) in the registration
page. Users can only use the mouse to select items from the list. [339440]
On the Additional Information page of the registration page, when selecting the country code from the list for the
Business Phone and Mobile Phone options, a flag icon appears next to the country name for most countries, and
that flag also appears next to the phone number once the code has been selected; however, many countries do not
have a flag icon listed, so no flag icon appears next to the phone number. [339398]
Cisco WebEx Connect
integration with WebEx
Meeting Center
Customers who have Cisco WebEx Connect integrated with WebEx Meeting Center should be aware of the
following issues:
• After Cisco WebEx Connect is integrated with WebEx Meeting Center, the user may not see their picture
in the My WebEx My Profile page of the WebEx Meeting Center website, and may need to upload their
picture again by going to My WebEx > My Profile. [336813]
• The user’s business phone and/or mobile phone number may appear correctly in Cisco WebEx Connect,
but may not appear in the My WebEx My Profile page of the Meeting Center website. This problem
typically occurs if there are special characters in the telephone numbers in the Cisco WebEx Connect user
profile. To correct this problem, the user should make sure the phone number format in their Cisco WebEx
Connect user profile conforms to the format required for the Meeting Center account profile. [335494]

• Users will no longer see the Change Password link on the WebEx Meeting Center website or in WebEx
Productivity Tools, because once Cisco WebEx Connect has been integrated with WebEx Meeting Center,
users should change their password only from the Cisco WebEx Connect application, and use the same
password for both Cisco WebEx Connect and WebEx Meeting Center. [329935]
Cisco WebEx Connect administrators who do not appear as administrators in the WebEx Meeting Center website can
still create and manage Meetings accounts. [326973]
