Built-in Security Providers for User Authentication and Authorization

Unwired Server supports a variety of built-in security providers use to authenticate device users. 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. Add an LDAP provider to a security configuration to authenticate administrator logins (on the "admin' security configuration on the "default" domain) or device user logins (any custom security configuration for that purpose).
• NTProxy Security Provider
  (Not applicable to Online Data Proxy) NTProxy — sometimes known as native Windows login — is an Unwired Server provider that integrates with existing Windows login security mechanisms. Add an LDAP provider to a security configuration to authenticate administrator logins (on the "admin" security configuration on the "default" domain) or device user logins (any custom security configuration for that purpose).
• 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.
