Built-in Security Providers

Unwired Server supports a variety of built-in security providers. Administrators define one or more security providers when they create security configurations using Sybase Control Center.

You can configure a provider of a given type only if that provider is available on the enterprise network.

If you are using Unwired Platform in an Online Data Proxy deployment, not all providers are applicable in this environment.

• No Security Provider
  A NoSec provider offers pass-through security for Unwired Server, and is intended for use in development environments or for deployments that require no security control. Do not use this provider in production environments— either for administration, or device user authentication.
• LDAP Security Provider
  (Not applicable to Online Data Proxy) The LDAP security provider includes authentication, attribution, and authorization providers.
• NTProxy Security Provider
  (Not applicable to Online Data Proxy) NTProxy (sometimes known as native Windows login) integrates with existing Windows login security. Users can authenticate with their native Windows user name and password, which gives them access to roles that are based on their existing Windows memberships.
• SAP SSO Token Security Provider
  The SAPSSOTokenLoginModule has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use HttpAuthenticationLoginModule for SAP SSO2 token authentication.
• Certificate Security Provider
  Use the Unwired Server CertificateAuthenticationLoginModule authentication provider to implement SSO with an SAP enterprise information system (EIS) with X.509 certificates.
• HTTP Basic Security Provider
  Use an HTTP Basic provider to enable automatic application registration. This provider is required when registration is set to automatic, and will be used for integrating with third-party security providers like SiteMinder.
• Preconfigured User Login Security Provider
  If you are accessing Sybase Control Center for the first time you are authenticated as the Unwired Platform administrator with the PreconfiguredLoginModule. You must supply the password defined during the installation of Unwired Platform.
