Anonymous Connection Registration

(Recommended only for online applications) In large business-to-customer deployments, application design may support anonymous user connections to Unwired Server.

Anonymous access can be configured for application connections to Unwired Server or for EIS connection pools on the enterprise back-end. They are authenticated using an anonymous security configuration. All anonymous users are identified with an anonymous role when Unwired Server receives the initial connection based on the configuration set for the application.

However, because the connection is not registered with a unique user identity, the connection does not appear in the activated application connection list in Sybase Control Center. The connection is automatically activated once the in-bound connection request is processed by Unwired Server.

Note: If an offline application uses an MBO operation that relies on a SAP BAPI function, the anonymous user may not be sufficient to perform the operation in the EIS. Sybase recommends that you include a fixed user configured inside the SAP endpoint to access backend system. When the developer designs the MBO load operation, the developer must use a non-client credential. This configuration ensures that the MBO uses the credential configured in the endpoint.
