With the release of Striim 5.0, businesses can now experience enhanced security and ease of integration through Striim’s support for OAuth 2.0 . This simplifies the authentication processes and ensures a smoother experience for administrators while keeping security a top priority. Let’s dive into how OAuth works, how to use it, and the value that Striim adds to your business.
What Does OAuth Do?
OAuth, or Open Authorization, is a widely-used open-standard authorization method that can seamlessly connect you with different apps and services without requiring you to create a new account every time or divulge sensitive information such as passwords, thereby enhancing security and reducing friction. OAuth uses access tokens to prove your identity to another service, and should this other service suffer a breach, your original credentials on the first service will remain safe. The access tokens also contain the data sharing rules between the services that can reduce the risk of unauthorized data access.
How Do You Use It?
Setting up OAuth is simple and can be done directly within Striim’s user interface. Striim has introduced a new feature called Connection Profiles that securely stores the information about the connections to an external service. Whether you’re configuring it through the adapter itself or managing all your connections from the “Manage Striim” > “Connection Profiles” screen, the process is seamless. The introduction of a “Sign In Using OAuth” button makes it easier than ever to authenticate once and then authorize Striim to use your connection profiles across different adapters.

How Does Striim Add Value?
Striim’s OAuth streamlines user configuration with minimal overhead. Once the Connection Profile is set up, Striim connects you to the external service and ensures that you remain connected by regularly reauthenticating to the external service in accordance with their rules. You can use the Connection Profiles across multiple adapters to connect to the same external service, smooth and secure communication with endpoints with minimum overhead. The use of OAuth in Connection Profiles simplifies the authentication and authorization process process, saving time and reducing the complexity typically involved with maintaining OAuth credentials.
