Enabling OAuth
Here you can find the settings you need to configure if you use OAuth as the authentication method for Jive for Outlook.
OAuth provides a process for client users to authorize third-party access to their server resources without sharing their credentials (typically, a username and password pair), using user-agent redirections.
To enable OAuth, configure the following settings in your company's proxy and firewall:
-
Allow
#JIVESERVER#/api/oauth2/*calls without any authentication headers. -
Accept the
oauth2authorization header as a valid and authenticated call to the server.For example:
Authorization: oauth2 xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx -
If you want to enable auto-updates, allow outgoing network access through the firewall to
files.jivesoftware.com. -
Disable the OAuth passcode by setting the system property
jive.oauth.passcodetofalse.
