Mapping Roles for a Domain

Configure role mapping in Sybase Control Center to manage logical roles and authorize client requests to access domain resources.

Prerequisites
Unwired Platform cannot query all enterprise security servers directly; to perform authentication successfully know the physical roles that are required.
Task

Typically, the endpoint and role mapping used by developers are not the same as for a production system. Administrators must reset these configurations accordingly. When you map domain-level roles, these roles are automatically applied to the packages that use the same security configuration.

  1. Expand the domain-level Security node and select the security configuration to map roles for.
  2. Set an appropriate mapping state for each logical role:
    • NONE – disable logical roles.
    • AUTO – allow logical roles to be dynamically mapped.
    • Map Roles – manually map required physical roles for a logical role when physical and logical role names do not match. If names do not match, the AUTO mapping state does not work; mappings cannot occur dynamically.

    The states of AUTO or NONE require the least administration.

  3. To manually map roles, use the Role Mappings dialog to map a logical role to one or more physical roles. You can also map multiple logical roles to the same physical role. Add or delete available roles as needed.
    Once a logical role is manually mapped, the mapping state changes to MAPPED. Mapped roles appear in the active Physical Roles cell in the domain-wide role mappings table.
