Implementing Cisco Collaboration Applications (CLICA) — Question 132

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

Answer options

• A. Layers of security are added due to forced user password prompt.
• B. It removes the need for Jabber and Webex clients to re-authenticate frequently.
• C. Refresh tokens are encrypted.
• D. It provides seamless access to resources over the life of the refresh token.
• E. Token expiration can never take place, which ensures that users stay logged in.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers, C and D, highlight that refresh tokens are indeed encrypted and provide ongoing access to resources as long as they are valid. Option A is incorrect because while a password prompt adds security, it is not a direct benefit of OAuth. Option B incorrectly suggests that frequent re-authentication is completely removed, which is not accurate. Option E is incorrect as token expiration is a fundamental aspect of OAuth security.
