Creating a Security Configuration for a Domain

Define a set of security providers in Sybase Control Center to protect domain resources, according to the specific security requirements of the domain. Create a security configuration, then map it to the desired domain.

A security configuration determines the scope of data access and security. A user must be part of the security repository used by the configured security providers to access any resources (that is, either a Sybase Control Center administration feature or a data set from a back-end data source) on a domain. See Security Configurations in the Security guide.

When you create a new security configuration, Sybase Unwired Platform sets the NoSecurity provider by default. Sybase recommends that after you add, configure, and validate your providers, you remove the NoSecurity provider. For more information on the NoSecurity provider, see NoSecurity Configuration Properties inSybase Control Center for Sybase Unwired Platform.

  1. In Sybase Control Center, add a new security configuration using the Security node.
  2. In the left navigation pane, expand the Security folder and select the new configuration.
  3. Use the Authentication, Authorization, Attribution, and Audit tabs to configure the appropriate security providers for each aspect of domain security.
  4. Edit the security provider properties, as required.
  5. Validate the configuration to ensure that Unwired Server accepts the changes.
  6. Go to left navigation pane, select Server -> Domains -> default -> Security folder.
  7. Assign the security configuration to a particular domain.
    Note: If HTTP request with X-SUP-SC header is not sent, then the security configuration is set as default.
  8. Apply the changes to Unwired Server.
