What are two benefits of deploying OAuth in a Cisco UCM environment that uses Cisco Jabber or Cisco Webex for on-premises calling?(Choosetwo.)

ALayers of security are added due to forced user password prompt.

BIt removes the need for Jabber and Webex clients to re-authenticate frequently.

CRefresh tokens are encrypted.

DIt provides seamless access to resources over the life of the refresh token.

EToken expiration can never take place, which ensures that users stay logged in.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, D

These two options are the benefits of deploying OAuth in a Cisco UCM environment that uses Cisco Jabber or Cisco Webex for on-premises calling. OAuth is an authorization protocol that allows users to grant access to third-party applications without sharing their credentials. In a Cisco UCM environment, OAuth allows Jabber and Webex clients to obtain access tokens from UCM after authenticating with their credentials once. The access tokens can then be used to access various resources, such as call control, voicemail, directory, and presence. The access tokens have a limited lifetime, but they can be refreshed using refresh tokens, which have a longer lifetime. This way, the users do not need to re-authenticate frequently and can enjoy a seamless user experience. Reference:

That's true, it does provide seamless access without the need for constant re-authentication.

But doesn't OAuth also remove the need for frequent re-authentication for Jabber and Webex clients?

Yes, encrypted refresh tokens ensure access to resources over the life of the token.

I believe refresh tokens being encrypted is another benefit of using OAuth.

I think deploying OAuth adds layers of security with forced user password prompt.

Haha, I love how we're all on the same page here. It's like we're a well-oiled machine when it comes to spotting the right answers. Though I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed there's no option for 'all of the above' - that would have really put our OAuth expertise to the test!

Yeah, I'm with you both on B and D. The layer of security from a password prompt (A) doesn't really sound like a benefit of OAuth specifically. And options C and E seem a bit too specific or just plain wrong. OAuth is all about reducing the burden on users, so B and D capture that well.

Agreed, B and D make the most sense to me. Option B about removing the need for frequent re-authentication is a big benefit, and D about seamless access to resources is also important. The other options seem like they might not be completely accurate.

I'm not too familiar with Cisco's UCM and the Jabber/Webex integration, but this question seems to be testing our knowledge on the benefits of using OAuth in that environment. From the options provided, I'd say B and D sound like the best choices.
