Setting Up Authorization with Certificate Validation

(Recommended) Before any event is submitted to the Sybase Unwired Platform runtime, the subject of the certificate's CN that is mapped to the logical role must be authorized, and with Certificate Validation, authenticated. Sybase recommends using a CertificateValidationLoginModule for mutual authentication. This solution offers maximum DCN or Push security.

1. Updating an Existing Security Configuration for EIS Event Authorization
   Platform administrators create different security configurations to authenticate packages that are deployed to various domains. You can revise these existing security configurations to also authenticate EIS events.
2. Adding a certificateValidationLoginModule for DCN Mutual Authentication
   For DCN events, you can add a certificateValidationLoginModule to perform mutual authentication, and stack it with other modules that perform the authentication of device users.
3. Mapping Logical Role to the Subject for the Certificate CN
   The certificate used for mutual authentication includes a common name (CN) that is extracted and compared to the physical role mapping you create using this CN.
