Sybase Unwired Platform applications can integrate with HTTP-based single sign-on (SSO) authentication providers.
Sybase Unwired Platform supports Network Edge authentication by allowing the administrator to configure which client values set in the connection to Sybase Unwired Platform using Network Edge authentication are to be used for authentication into Sybase Unwired Platform server.
Hybrid App and Object API applications can connect to reverse proxy servers or agents at the Network Edge. These agents perform authentication and return authenticated tokens on behalf of those authentication providers to either Unwired Server or HTTP-based enterprise information system (EIS) systems via session personalization values delivered as HTTP cookies, or HTTP headers. An example of an HTTP-based SSO provider is SiteMinder running inside the enterprise and its SiteMinder agent running at the Network Edge inside an Apache or IIS reverse proxy server.
