Modify the "admin" security configuration to add a production-grade provider, typically an LDAPLoginModule. Most companies use an LDAP directory to maintain internal user accounts. This module integrates with most LDAP servers including Active Directory.
Prerequisites
Determine what values are needed for the login module properties in
Unwired Platform by gathering this information from the security
provider you will be using. For example, for an LDAP login module you need values for the
providerURL, serverType, bind user, bind password, search base and so on.
Task
Configure the "admin" security configuration on the "default" domain to
authenticate only platform and domain administrators, and help desk operators. All
Sybase Control Center users must belong to the
"admin" security configuration. It is recommended that you create custom security
configurations for Sybase Unwired Platform application users
and assign these security configurations to domains and MBO packages.
- In the navigation pane of Sybase Control Center,
expand the Security folder, then click the
security configuration named admin.
- In the administration pane, click the Authentication tab.
- Add an LDAPLoginModule, configuring the providerURL, serverType, bind user, bind password, search base, and other properties determined by you and the LDAP administrator.
- Add a ControlFlag attribute for the configured LDAP login module, and set the value to sufficient.
- Make the LDAP module the first module in the list.
Note: Do not remove the PreConfiguredUser login module from the list of login modules used by the "admin" security configuration until the LDAP login module has been tested.
- Select the General tab, select Validate, then Apply.
- Click OK.
