You can use either dynamic or static credentials in a mobile workflow form.
See the Developer Guide for Mobile Workflow Packages and System Administration for more detailed information about implementing security and certificates.
The user name and password values are required when the mobile workflow application invokes a mobile business object operation. These authentication values can be provided statically (at design time), or dynamically (by the user at runtime).
Dynamic credentials mean that the user sets the user name and password on a screen that is pointed to by the credential request starting point. The text fields must have the corresponding Credential Cache User Name and Password checkbox checked to indicate the value is to be used to provide the user name and password on the client. When the user logs in, the credentials are authenticated using the stored credentials.
Static credentials mean that everyone who has access to the resource uses the same user name and password. By default, static credentials are used. The static credential user name and password for the mobile workflow application can be extracted from the selected Sybase Unwired Platform profile user name and password when the mobile workflow application is generated, or they can be hard-coded using the Properties view. After deployment, you can change static credentials in the Sybase Control Center.
The application can also have a credential screen (Credential Request) that appears if the mobile workflow application detects that the cached credentials are empty or incorrect.
