Okta 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 authenticate to their OTT apps. Okta provides an end-to-end identity solution including advanced and secure authentication mechanisms, user management, and directory/group management.
Cleeng and Okta
When Okta is integrated with Core, the following features will be handled by Okta 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 Okta, their default instructions and guidelines can be followed. Once the user is authenticated on Okta, 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.
