Security Provider Configuration Properties

Security providers implement different properties, depending on whether or not they support authentication, authorization, audit, or attributionauthentication or authorization.

Platform administrators can configure application security properties in the Sybase Control Center for Unwired Platform console. These properties are then transcribed to an XML file in the <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\UnwiredServer\Repository\CSI\ directory. A new section is created for each provider you add.

• LDAP Configuration Properties
  (Not applicable to Online Data Proxy) Use these properties to configure the LDAP provider used to authenticate SCC administration logins or to configure the LDAP provider used to authenticate device application logins. If you are creating a provider for device application logins, then Unwired Platform administrators use Sybase Control Center to write these properties to the <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\UnwiredServer\Repository\CSI\default.xml file.Use these properties to configure the LDAP provider used to authenticate SCC administration logins or to configure the LDAP provider used to authenticate device application logins. If you are creating a provider for device application logins, then Unwired Platform administrators use Sybase Control Center to write these properties to the <UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\UnwiredServer\Repository\CSI\default.xml file.
• NTProxy Configuration Properties
  (Not applicable to Online Data Proxy) Configure these properties to allow the operating system's security mechanisms to validate user credentials using NTProxy (Windows Native OS). Access these properties from the Authentication tab of the Security node in Sybase Control Center.
• NoSec Configuration Properties
  A NoSec provider offers pass-through security for Unwired Server. In development environments, you can apply a NoSec security provider for authentication, authorization, and attribution authentication and authorization modules. However, never use this provider in production environments — either for administration, or device user authentication.
• Certificate Authentication Properties
  Add and configure authentication provider properties for CertificateAuthenticationLoginModule, or accept the default settings.
• Certificate Validation Properties
  Add and configure provider properties for CertificateValidationLoginModule, or accept the default settings. CertificateValidationLoginModule  can be used in conjunction with other login modules that support certificate authentication (for example, LDAPLoginModule) by configuring CertificateValidationLoginModule before the login modules that support certificate authentication.
• SAP SSO Token Authentication Properties
  The SAPSSOTokenLoginModule has been deprecated, Use the HttpAuthenticationLoginModule when SAP SSO2 token authentication is required. This authentication module will be removed in a future release.
• Preconfigured User Authentication Properties
  The PreConfiguredUserLoginModule authenticates the Unwired Platform Administrator user whose credentials are specified during installations.
• HTTP Basic Authentication Properties
  The HttpAuthenticationLoginModule provider authenticates the user with given credentials (user name and password) against the secured Web server (SWS) using a GET against a URL that requires basic authentication, and can be configured to retrieve a cookie with the configured name and add it to the JAAS subject to facilitate single sign-on (SSO) or network edge authentication.
• Auditor Filter Properties Reference
  (Not applicable to Online Data Proxy) Configure multiple resource classes when defining an auditor for a named security configuration.
