Setting Up Security After Installation

Once you have installed all components of your environment you can start securing the infrastructure components and enabling encrypted communications between them.

1. Securing the Data Infrastructure
   Secure data by first protecting the infrastructure on which it resides, then securing runtime databases.
2. Securing Data Tier Databases
   Secure all databases installed as the Unwired Platform data tier. You can change DBA passwords, grant DBA permissions to other users, and encrypt data and logs.
3. Enabling Authentication and RBAC for Administrator Logins
   Administrators are authenticated both by Sybase Control Center and by Unwired Server. To make first-time installs easier, the Unwired Platform installer collects a single password that is used to configure and enable a security provider called PreconfiguredUser login module.
4. Securing the Server Infrastructure
   Before you can secure the runtime, you must first secure the underlying infrastructure. This activity prevents files from being tampered with on the host, also allows the Unwired Server to run with existing security mechanisms.
5. Enabling Authentication and RBAC for User Logins
   Enable authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) for device user logins by creating a new security configuration (that is, one that is distinct from the "admin" security configuration on the "default" domain), and mapping roles, then assigning it.
6. Securing Data Change Notifications
   If you use data change notifications (DCN) to notify Unwired Server of EIS changes, secure the communication stream to avoid packet sniffing or data tampering. Use Sybase Control Center to configure the DCN stream after you have created SSL certificates.
