Enabling Authentication and RBAC for Administrator Logins

Role based access control (RBAC) for administrators is always performed by Unwired Server: Sybase Control Center automatically delegates administrator authentication to the providers configured for the "admin" security configuration on the "default" domain. When you install Unwired Platform, only the PreconfiguredUserLogin module is used, so you must initially log in with the administrator credentials defined with the installer.

1. Logging Into Sybase Control Center with an Installer-Defined Password
   The person acting as platform administrator logs in to Sybase Control Center for the first time after installation.
2. Making "Admin" Security Configuration Production-Ready
   Replace the default PreconfiguredUserlogin module with new production-ready providers.
3. Disabling Authentication Caching and Increasing Log Levels
   Temporarily disable administrator authentication, so the new provider can be validated. Also increase log levels to capture more detailed events in case you need to troubleshoot problems.
4. Validating the Production "Admin" Security Configuration
   Once LDAP has been added as a provider to both the "admin" security configuration for Unwired Server and the CSI property file for Sybase Control Center you can test the login before removing the PreconfiguredUser login module from both components' configurations.
5. Enabling Authentication Caching and Reducing Log Levels
   Re-enable administrator authentication as required by your environment, and reduce log levels to a value more appropriate for normal security operations.
