Security Profiles

In Sybase Control Center, transport security for various communication ports is determined by the security profiles a platform administrator creates.

Security profiles define the security characteristics of a client/server session. Assign a security profile to a listener, which is configured as a port that accepts client connection requests of various protocols. Unwired Server uses multiple listeners. Clients that support the same characteristics can communicate to Unwired Server via the same port defined in the listener.

Before you create a security profile in Sybase Control Center as part of the Unwired Server configuration, you must always create key pair of public and private keys and install that key pair in the keystore used by Unwired Server. You can then complete the security profile setup by specifying the key file, alias (also called a label) and keystore password.

Once you have created the security profile, configure the listener to use a security profile communicating over the encrypted protocol.
