Google Firebase Authentication is one of the many Identity Providers that clients of Cleeng have set up and use in combination with Cleeng's Core solution in order to have their viewers and subscribers sign up and log in to their OTT apps. Firebase provides an end-to-end identity solution, supporting email and password accounts, phone auth, and Google, Twitter, Facebook, and GitHub login, and more.
Cleeng and Firebase
When Firebase is integrated with Core, the following features will be handled by Firebase instead of Core:
- User Registration
- Login, Social Login
- Password Reset
- Authentication
- Profile and Consent Management
Integration
Cleeng can integrate with many different authentication platforms. In the case of Firebase Authentication, their default instructions and guidelines can be followed. Once the user is authenticated on Firebase, the authenticated user can be automatically connected and authorized for Core.
The best way to integrate is through the MediaStore SDK and APIs that authenticate through the JWT mechanism using the SSO Login endpoint.
