Adding a Production-Grade Provider

Modify the "admin" security configuration to add a production-grade provider, typically an LDAPLoginModule. Most companies use an LDAP directory to maintain internal user accounts. This module integrates with most LDAP servers including Active Directory.

1. In the navigation pane of Sybase Control Center, expand the Security folder, then click the security configuration named admin.
2. In the administration pane, click the Authentication tab.
3. Add an LDAPLoginModule, configuring the providerURL, serverType, bind user, bind password, search base, and other properties determined by you and the LDAP administrator.
4. Add a ControlFlag attribute for the configured LDAP login module, and set the value to sufficient.
5. Make the LDAP module the first module in the list.
   Note: Do not remove the PreConfiguredUser login module from the list of login modules used by the "admin" security configuration until the LDAP login module has been tested.
6. Select the General tab, select Validate, then Apply.
7. Click OK.

• Gathering Provider Information
  Production environments rely on a production-grade security provider (commonly an LDAP directory) to authenticate administrators. To identify the changes you may need to effect for Unwired Platform use, first understand how the provider is structured and organized.
• Built-in Security Providers for "Admin" Security Configuration
  Unwired Server supports a variety of built-in security providers that authenticate administrators users using the "admin" security configuration on the "default" domain. Administrators define one or more security providers to replace the default Preconfigured User login module.
