Webex managed configuration for Android
These are the managed app configuration keys Cisco documents for the Webex app on Android. They help IT prefill sign-in details, block external users from the unmanaged app, turn on a PIN lock and limit what the app reads from the device. Some keys are for Cisco Unified Communications Manager calling or FedRAMP environments and only matter in those cases. Cisco's Intune build, Webex for Intune, has its own package name (com.cisco.wx2.android.msintune) and is not covered here.

Questions
Webex on managed Android
What is Webex's package name on Android?
com.cisco.wx2.android. Cisco's Intune article names a separate Intune build, Webex for Intune, with the package name com.cisco.wx2.android.msintune.
What does orgIdentifier do?
It sets your Control Hub organization ID. Cisco says it is used with the restriction that blocks external users from using the unmanaged Android app, so your people must use a managed instance.
Do I need the calling keys?
The VoiceServicesDomain, AutoLoginUserName and AutoLoginUserPassword keys are described by Cisco as settings for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. If you do not use that service, you can leave them out.
When are the settings read?
In its Intune article, Cisco says the app checks for the settings when people run it for the first time on their devices. Cisco does not repeat this for other MDMs, so test with your own.
