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.)

Question

Options

• 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.

• B
  2% (1)
• C
  93% (39)
• E
  5% (2)

Explanation

OAuth provides two key benefits in this context. First (C), refresh tokens in OAuth are encrypted, adding a layer of security by ensuring tokens cannot be read in plaintext if intercepted. Second (D), OAuth provides seamless access to protected resources for the entire lifespan of the refresh token - users authenticate once and obtain a long-lived refresh token that silently fetches new access tokens without requiring re-login. Option A is incorrect because OAuth reduces password prompts rather than forcing them. Option B is partially aligned but misleading - OAuth's benefit is seamless access via tokens, not simply avoiding re-authentication. Option E is false; tokens do expire by design, which is a security feature.
