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 on a mobile device will not use the SAML SSO login flow but instead enter a username and password. They will then use an OAuth token for all subsequent API calls.

  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.
