Limiting Application Access

Application access to SAP Mobile Platform runtime is tightly controlled: before a user can access a mobile application, he or she must provide a passcode; before the application can access the runtime, the application must be registered and provisioned with required connections and security profiles.

Applications that do not require tight security can use anonymous access. Anonymous access applications can be run without a specific combination of user name and authorization code or a combination of code and password.

• Device Data Security
  Securing all data on the device client requires multiple techniques employed by both the developer and the administrator.
• Application, Device, and User Registration
  Before any application can access the runtime, the user, device, and application must be identified by first registering with SAP Mobile Platform Server and pairing them with a device and user entry. Subscriptions can be made only when all three entities are known.
• Application Recognition
  Applications are recognized by SAP Mobile Platform Server by the properties that define them. Administrators define applications with a unique application ID and other key application properties, such as security configuration.
