In a production system, you can set up the LDAP provider as one of your security providers, and change the passwords used by the stock set of server roles.
This configuration is required with the Deployment option, because this option does not include a default LDAP server. The Installer configures LDAP only with a Development Edition install, which includes a working default LDAP server. Instead, an administrator must set up Unwired Server to use a production version of an LDAP server by hand editing this configuration file.
Note: Sybase strongly recommends that you use a common authentication provider for
Afaria, Unwired Server, and Sybase Control Center. Otherwise, user names and password used to authenticate users from mobile clients and Unwired Server administration and Afaria may not work seamlessly. Afaria and Unwired Server can share LDAP and NativeOS security; however, only LDAP can be used by all three components. Configuration details between the components must match; otherwise, single sign-on does not work.
Each component implements security mechanisms differently.
- For Unwired Server, use Sybase Control Center to configure the provider by clicking then configuring the information in the Authentication tab.
- For Sybase Control Center, edit the
<UAF-install-dir>\conf\csi.properties file.
- For Afaria, enable authentication and select the appropriate naming attribute. Depending on your system configuration, you might also need to run
<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\Afaria\bin\XSDirectorySetupWizard.exe to manually set up Afaria and Unwired Server to share the same repository.
