Notification users interact with SAP Mobile Platform to enable
and configure push notifications.
In SAP Mobile Platform, administrators configure the Notification
security profile to determine the authentication credentials required to send Push
Notifications. The administrator can update the Notification security profile to include
any combination of login modules as needed.
Administrators can configure the back end with a user x.509 certificate and connect to
SAP Mobile Platform on its HTTPS listener configured to use
mutual authentication (port 8082 by default). Once the Notification security profile is
configured, you must edit the
Notification-role-mapping.xml to map
the Notification User logical role to the appropriate physical roles:
<DefaultMapping>
<LogicalName>Notification User</LogicalName>
<MappedName>user:subjectDN from the certificate</MappedName>
</DefaultMapping>
Note: The logical role for the notification user is Notification User.
The term "notification user" is used in all documentation to refer to the user with
Notification User role.
