Configuring Security Fundamentals in SAP Mobile Platform

To configure and manage security across SAP Mobile Platform, you need to understand security profiles and how to configure them, logical roles and how they map to your physical roles, and authentication providers and how they are configured in security profiles. You can also configure reverse proxies if needed in your landscape.

• Security Profiles in SAP Mobile Platform
  SAP Mobile Platform does not provide proprietary security systems for storing and maintaining users and access control rules, but delegates these functions to the enterprise’s existing security solutions.
• Role Mapping
  All users, passwords, and access control information is managed in the your identity management systems using the administrative tools you normally use for these systems.
• Authentication in SAP Mobile Platform
  A security provider verifies the identities of application users and administrators who request access via one or more configured login modules.
• Adding Reverse Proxies
  Once the installation of SAP Mobile Platform Server is complete, install and configure a reverse proxy if you need it.
