Use the Security API to develop a custom provider. The audience is advanced developers who are experienced in working with APIs, but who may be new to SAP Mobile Platform.
SAP Mobile Platform delegates the functions of storing and maintaining users and access control rules to the enterprise’s existing security solutions. It uses a plug-in model to delegate the security checks to the configured providers using the CSI component.
CSI has a service provider plug-in model that integrates with the customer’s existing security infrastructure. If none of the default providers shipped with SAP Mobile Platform meet the security needs, you can use the Security API to implement a custom login module, authorizer, or attributer that interfaces with a security back-end of your choice and plug it into SAP Mobile Platform.
