Cisco Jabber SIP OAuth Prerequisites
What does Cisco Jabber require before SIP OAuth mode can be enabled?
Community Votes
100% of anonymous learners picked answer C. Votes are pick records left by other test-takers — they are not the verified answer.
Community Insight
This question tests the specific authentication protocol used by Cisco Jabber in SIP OAuth mode, with the trap being the confusion between the technical standard (JWT) and its general cryptographic property (self-contained).
Enabling SIP OAuth mode in Cisco Jabber requires replacing legacy client LSC certificates with JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication. The community consensus confirms JWT as the correct answer, distinguishing it from the generic description of 'self-contained token'.

Why the Answer Is Correct
SIP OAuth mode allows Cisco Jabber to use OAuth-based authentication instead of relying on Locally Significant Certificates (LSCs). The core mechanism for this authentication involves the use of JSON Web Tokens (JWT), which carry the necessary claims and signatures for identity verification.Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A is incorrect because SIP OAuth is specifically designed to eliminate the need for client LSCs. Option D describes a characteristic of JWTs but is too vague; 'self-contained token' could refer to SAML assertions or other formats, whereas JWT is the specific standard required.Community Comment Notes
Users note that while JWTs are self-contained, option C is the precise technical term required by the exam. One comment cites official Cisco documentation stating that SIP OAuth uses 'OAuth self-describing tokens,' leading some to argue for D, but the industry standard implementation relies on JWT.Official Reference
Exam Strategy
When faced with options describing a format versus its properties, always choose the specific technical standard or protocol name over the generic descriptor. In certification exams, specificity usually wins when multiple options are technically related.
