Forced OAuth for mobile only

You can enforce OAuth as the authentication method for Mobile users only, even if the instance is configured with SAML SSO.

Note: This option is not available for versions earlier than Jive 7.0.1.

If this setting is enabled, users accessing Jive Mobile will not use the SAML SSO login flow instead, they have to enter a username and password. They will then use an OAuth token for all subsequent API calls.

Cloud community managers will need to file a request with Support to have this functionality enabled.

  1. Make sure a directory server such as LDAP is configured on the community.

  2. In the admin console, add the system property jive.coreapi.force.oauth and set it to true.

  3. Verify that the setting has been applied. If it's working correctly, "ssoEnabled": ["saml"] should be removed when making a call to /api/version.
