Prerequisites for Provisioning an Application Using Afaria

(Applies only to Online Data Proxy and Hybrid Web Container) Verify that these prerequisites for provisioning an application using Afaria are completed by the IT admin and application developer.

  1. Verify that the application developer includes API calls in the application to retrieve the provisioning data and certificate, and design the application user interface to prompt the user for any missing configuration information.
    Note: For the Hybrid Web Container, the certificate is retrieved through an API, but the provisioning file is automatically retrieved from Afaria or from a local file.

    For Online Data Proxy, see topics in the Developer Guide: OData SDK.

    • Provisioning Connection Settings from Afaria
    • Provisioning Certificates using Afaria
    • Prompting User for Required Configuration Information

    For Hybrid Web Container, see this topic in the Developer Guide: Mobile Workflow Package Development.

    • Certificate.js
  2. Verify that the application developer provides the application ID or package name of the application to the Sybase Unwired Platform administrator for use in naming the provisioning file.
  3. Verify that the IT administrator has configured a Certificate Authority server for use with the Afaria portal package, and has created the public and private keys, and configuration parameters.
