Securing Platform Administration

Use the Web-based console called Sybase Control Center to remotely and securely administer Unwired Platform.

Sybase Control Center relies on a Windows service called Sybase Control Center X.X that runs on each Unwired Server on the cluster. The service handles communication between Sybase Control Center and Unwired Server runtime components.

1. Enabling Authentication and RBAC for Administrator Logins
   Role based access control (RBAC) for administrators is always performed by Unwired Server: Sybase Control Center automatically delegates administrator authentication to the providers configured for the "admin" security configuration on the "default" domain. When you install Unwired Platform, only the PreconfiguredUserLogin module is used for the "admin" security configuration. To make the "admin" security configuration production-ready, you must initially log in using the administrator credentials defined with the installer, and replace the PreconfiguredUserLogin module with production-ready providers.
2. Resetting the supAdmin Password
   You can manually reset the current platform administration password.
3. Preparing SSL for HTTPS Listeners
   SSL requires that two self-signed certificates installed by default need to be replaced: one for Unwired Server, and one for Sybase Control Center. Once the certificates have been imported, you can configure the security profile for these components in Sybase Control Center.
4. Securing Multiple Domains
   To prevent role mapping leaks between multiple tenant domains, configure domains and assign shared security configurations.
5. Configuring Unwired Server to Securely Communicate With an HTTP Proxy
   If you want Unwired Server connect to an HTTP Proxy, you can set connection properties for it when you optimize Unwired Server performance.
