Provisioning with Unwired Server

If you are not using Afaria, you can install the client application then connect to corporate LAN using WIFI or any other method of your choosing in order to provision devices with required files.

Sybase recommends you follow this method when you are not using Afaria. This method ensures that the public RSA key required for future secure communication is correctly and reliably installed.

  1. Install the device client application to the device.
  2. Connect to the corporate LAN upon which Unwired Platform is installed.
  3. Use a device connection that connects directly to Unwired Server. Alternatively, you can also connect using the Relay Server settings, but only if it is accessible from the corporate LAN.
  4. The messaging service on Unwired Server seeds the client with the public key.
    The client uses this public key for all subsequent connections.
  5. Provide the user with instructions to re-configure the connection properties on the device to use Relay Server from the Internet for subsequent connections.
