Enabling a Multitenancy Environment with Domains

Platform administrators can add new domains to the Unwired Platform environment to facilitate tenants' administration of their own components.

By default, Unwired Platform uses the Default domain. A single domain does not offer a logical partioning of the mobility environment, which is crucial if you need to support multiple tenants. The number of domains you need to add is determined by the strategy you employ.

Once the setup is complete, domain administrators can manage domain artifacts.

  1. Determining a Tenancy Strategy
    Determine how many domains to create and how to distribute domain components. A strategic multitenant structure for the cluster balances system-availability considerations with administrative concerns.
  2. Creating and Enabling a New Domain
    Create and configure multiple domains within a single Unwired Platform installation. A domain must be enabled for application users to access the packages deployed in the domain. Enabling a domain also triggers synchronization of the domain changes to the secondary nodes in the cluster. Application users who attempt to access a disabled domain receive an error message.
  3. 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. A security configuration can either be created first and then mapped to the desired domain.
  4. Activating a Domain Administrator
    A platform administrator must create and register domain administrators, before this individual can access a domain.
  5. Assigning Domain Administrators to a Domain
    Assign domain administration privileges to a domain administrator. You must be a platform administrator to assign and unassign domain administrators.
  6. Mapping Roles for a Domain
    Configure role mapping in Sybase Control Center to manage logical roles and authorize client requests to access domain resources.
  7. Creating Data Source Connections for a Domain
    A connection is required to send queries to mobile business objects and receive data. Configure the properties required to connect to EIS datasources.
