Configure Afaria and Unwired Server to share a common LDAP repository when Afaria and Unwired Platform are not installed at the same time.
Note: Sybase strongly recommends that you use a common authentication provider for
Afaria, Unwired Server, and Sybase Control Center. Otherwise, user names and password used to authenticate users from mobile clients and Unwired Server administration and Afaria may not work seamlessly. Afaria and Unwired Server can share LDAP and NativeOS security; however, only LDAP can be used by all three components. Configuration details between the components must match; otherwise, single sign-on does not work.
Each component implements security mechanisms differently.
- For Unwired Server, use Sybase Control Center to configure the provider by clicking then configuring the information in the Authentication tab.
- For Sybase Control Center, edit the
<UAF-install-dir>\conf\csi.properties file.
- For Afaria, enable authentication and select the appropriate naming attribute. Depending on your system configuration, you might also need to run
<UnwiredPlatform_InstallDir>\Servers\Afaria\bin\XSDirectorySetupWizard.exe to manually set up Afaria and Unwired Server to share the same repository.
When you install Sybase Unwired Platform and Afaria at the same time, the installer configures Afaria to share the same LDAP repository with Sybase Control Center and Unwired Server if the default configuration works in your environment.
- Afaria protocol: HTTP
- Afaria port: 4041
- Authentication: enabled
However, you need to manually set up Afaria to share the LDAP repository if you want to:
- Change your LDAP settings and reconfigure Afaria Server
- Use an existing Afaria installation with Sybase Unwired Platform
- Run Sybase Unwired Platform and Afaria on separate machines
- Install Sybase Unwired Platform and Afaria at different times (on the same machine or different machines)
Verify your Afaria Server configuration by ensuring that the properties you configure in Sybase Control Center for Unwired Server match the corresponding properties configured in Afaria Administrator.
