Assigning Providers to a Security Configuration

Assign providers after you have created a security configuration.

1. In the left navigation pane, expand the Security folder.
2. Select the security configuration you want to assign a provider to.
3. In the right administration pane, select the Settings tab to set an authentication cache timeout value.
   The timeout determines how long authentication results should be cached before a user is required to reauthenticate. For details, see Authentication Cache Timeouts. To configure this value:
   1. Set the cache timeout value in seconds. The default is 3600.
   2. Click Save.
4. Select the tab corresponding to the type of security provider you want to configure: Authentication, Authorization, Attribution, or Audit.
5. To edit the properties of a preexisting security provider in the configuration:
   1. Select the provider, and click Properties.
   2. Configure the properties associated with the provider by setting values according to your security requirements. Add properties as documented in the individual reference topics for each provider.
   3. Click Save.
6. To add a new security provider to the configuration:
   1. Click New.
   2. Select the provider you want to add.
   3. Configure the properties associated with the provider by setting values according to your security requirements. Add properties as documented in the individual reference topics for each provider.
   4. Click OK.
      The configuration is saved locally, but not yet committed to the server.
7. Select the General tab, and click Validate to confirm that Unwired Server accepts the new security configuration.
8. Click Apply to save changes to the security configuration, and apply them across Unwired Server.

• Authentication Cache Timeouts
  Set a cache timeout value to cache user or administrator authentication credentials, which improves runtime performance.
• Enabling CRLs
  Identify the certificate revocation lists (CRLs) that define a list of digital certificates which have been revoked. Revoked certificates should not give the Unwired Platform device user access to the Unwired Server runtime.
• 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.
