Post-Installation Configuration

After you install the Extended APIs plugin, you need to perform the post-installation configuration steps to get Jive Anywhere to work the way you want.

After installing the Extended APIs plugin, configure Jive using the following settings:

For Extended APIs, if your environment blocks unauthenticated traffic using proxy and SSO, then you need to allow /__services/eapis/version/current without any authentication header.
Enable OAuth.
Deploy browser plugins to multiple users.
Restrict web sites that use Jive Anywhere.
If you want to enable auto-updates, allow outgoing network access through the firewall to files.jivesoftware.com.

Enabling OAuth

OAuth is the authentication method for Jive Anywhere.

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 oauth2 authorization header as a valid and authenticated call to the server. For example, Authorization: oauth2 xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
