Allow meeting PIN in SIP/Spark URI dialing in Webex Meetings

It seems like an oversight that you can't dial the numeric meeting password in the Webex SIP URI dial string, e.g. 8675309.5555@webex.com, when this is possible for Zoom and BlueJeans.

It makes it difficult for folks supporting VIPs as well as making OBTP not really OBTP.

Yes, I know you can allow internal authenticated devices to bypass the PIN, but that isn't a good option for B2B calls or internal meetings where you want to enforce the PIN.

    We have the same issue for meetings with Pexip on premise where the SIP URI in the meeting invite looks like this: confid**pin@website.com. Seems the Webex cloud is altering the SIP URI to pin@website.com removing the important confid. So no way to recover this on the VC endpoint using macros. So OBTP will not work for this type of meetings. Would be nice if the Webex cloud would not alter the SIP URI, ie check and remove "." , "**" and other special characters.
