A. B. C. D.

B.

When a Webex site has single-sign-on enabled, the authentication process for the users is handled by a third-party identity provider. In such a scenario, an AuthenticateUser API request is used to authenticate the user's credentials with the Webex site.

The body element of this API request contains the required authentication data. The type of data required in the body element depends on the type of authentication being used. In the case of single-sign-on, the user's credentials are authenticated by the third-party identity provider, and a token is generated, which is then used for authentication with the Webex site.

Therefore, the type of data required in the body element of an AuthenticateUser XML API Request when a Webex site has single-sign-on enabled is a JSON Web Token (JWT) token, which is obtained from the third-party identity provider. This token contains the user's identity information and is used by the Webex site to authenticate the user.

Option A, Webex username and password, is not required when single-sign-on is enabled, as the user's credentials are authenticated by the third-party identity provider.

Option B, Webex Teams OAuth access token, is not relevant in this scenario, as OAuth is not used for authentication with the Webex site when single-sign-on is enabled.

Option D, BOT access token, is also not relevant in this scenario, as BOT access tokens are used for authentication of bots and not for user authentication.
