Provisioning - Authenticate
The principle of OTT is to enable customers to order and view an event directly, using their selected device. The signals required for streaming the video come directly from the provider and are authenticated through CRM.COM once an order is placed.
For example, when a user orders a movie on a tablet, CRM.COM authenticates the user through an account and subscription number and sends the user a token for viewing the movie on the tablet.
This is required when a VOD or PPV order is executed from a third-party system such as a portal. Further implementation from the third-party is required, to call CRM.COM authentication WEB API and provide subscriber details (subscription number and account).
The subscriber is authenticated in CRM.COM and subsequently in the provider. The token is sent back to the third-party so that the subscriber can start viewing the movie.
