Provisioning Applications Using Afaria

SAP Mobile Platform supports Afaria device management and security functionality. You can use Afaria to provision native and hybrid applications that use the MAF Logon UI component. You can generate certificate requests which in turn are passed through Afaria to the corporate PKI system for CA signature.

When provisioning an application, you must use the provisioning file method to configure the application configuration data, rather than entering application data in the provisioning text box in Afaria. In this method, you create a provisioning file containing a set of parameters.

For information on setting up the Afaria environment, and the format for creating the provisioning file, see:

• SAP Mobile Platform Server > Administrator 3.0 SP02 > Application Administration > Provisioning Applications > Provisioning with Afaria.

• Preparing the Kapsel Application for Afaria Provisioning
