Domain Administrator

The domain administrator is granted access on a per-domain basis by the platform administrator. The domain administrator can only administer the domain to which he or she is assigned.

To set up a user as a domain administrator, ensure that the user's login is assigned the physical role mapped to the "SUP Domain Administrator" logical role in the security provider of 'admin' security configuration in the 'default' domain. Once completed, if the login is successfully authenticated and authorized, it is granted domain administrator privileges to the domains assigned by Unwired Platform administrator.

When logging in to the developer edition of Sybase Control Center for the first time, domain administrators can use the default ID and password of supDomainAdmin and s3pDomainAdmin, respectively. When logging in to the deployment edition, use the ID and password that are associated with the domain administrator role defined in the "admin" security configuration.

The domain administrator sees a scaled down view of assigned domains in the left navigation pane in Sybase Control Center. This administration role has access only to packages, connections, security configurations, and role mappings in their assigned domain.

Domain Administration Assignments

Only a platform administrator can assign domain administrator access, and only to users that are registered with Unwired Server. Click the Security node in the Sybase Control Center navigation pane to see a list of registered domain administrators.

The number of users assigned this role can vary:
Ratio Used when
1 administrator:1 domain Used by small deployments. In this case, the platform administrator is the only administrator. No domain administrator is required.
1 administrator:N domains Used when multiple domains are required.
N administrators:N domains Used in most large-scale deployments, or where different domains may be created to support different organizations. In this case, each domain has its own administrator.
