Network Edge Single Sign-on (SSO) Authentication

Unwired Platform applications can integrate with HTTP-based SSO authentication providers.

Mobile Workflow and Object API applications can connect to reverse proxy servers (agents) at the network edge. These agents perform authentication and return authenticated tokens on behalf of those authentication providers to either Unwired Server or HTTP-based enterprise information system (EIS) systems via session personalization values delivered as HTTP cookies, or HTTP headers. An example of an HTTP-based SSO provider is SiteMinder running inside the enterprise and its SiteMinder agent running at the network edge inside an Apache or IIS reverse proxy server.
