In SAP Control Center, Platform administrators set up an
application connection template for applications. Part of this template includes a
property that enables automatic registration.
- When automatic registration is enabled, a device user need
only provide valid SAP Mobile Platform credentials that are
defined as part of the security configuration. If the application connection
template specifies a logical role, the user must have a physical role that
maps to the logical role in order to access the application.
- When automatic registration is disabled, the platform
administrator must provide the user a user name and passcode out-of-band.
This is the passcode initially required by login screens to access the
application for the first time, and expires within a predetermined time
period (72 hours, by default).
Note: Choose to use automatic registrations carefully,
especially if there are multiple application connection templates for the same
application. The combined criteria of the application ID and security
configuration used by the device application trigger a search for a matching
template that is used to complete the automatic registration. However, if the
security configuration is not sent by the device application, and the server
finds multiple templates, registration fails.
