- The Virtual Learning Service (VLS) is the integration between virtual meeting rooms like WebEx or Adobe Connect and SAP SuccessFactors Learning

- Log out of the system and access Learning Administration again

- For customers looking to implement Webex with SSO: if WebEx is behind active directory this creates a 2-factor authentication which is currently not supported by SAP
- LMS/Webex integration is based on the Webex super admin credentials added to the VLS configuration file. LMS makes API calls using these admin credentials
- To bypass two-step authentication Webex requires a different API implementation
Note: When trying to implement Webex with SSO a Session Ticket will be required, when an attendee or host tries to access with a password, an error message will appear: VLS Error: Session ticket is required
