Logon Plugin

The Logon plugin helps register the application/user with the SAP Mobile Platform Server, and integrates with Afaria for provisioning X.509 settings and Client Hub.

Note Before implementing the Logon plugin, you should thoroughly understand the Client Hub service with which the plugin is integrated to enable onboarding. If you are using an iOS device, you must add the "clienthubEntitlements" to the Keychain Groups in the Entitlement section in Xcode.

In this section:

Logon Plugin Overview

The Logon plugin manages the application registration and authentication processes either through SAP Mobile Platform Server, or through SAP Gateway server. The plugin is supported for use with applications on the Android, iOS, and Windows 8.1 platforms.

Adding the Logon Plugin

To install the Logon plugin, use the Cordova command line interface.

Configuring Default Values

Add JavaScript to configure default logon settings.

Running the Logon Application on iOS

Deploy and run the Logon project on iOS.

Removing Fields From the Registration Screen

If your application does not use a relay server, a reverse proxy server, or connect to an SAP Mobile Platform 2.x server, you can remove some of the fields from the registration screen, such as the URL Suffix, Company ID, and Security Config.

Using the X.509 Certificate Provider Interface to Integrate with Third-Party Certificate Providers

Use the X.509 certificate provider interface to integrate third-party certificate provider solutions into native and hybrid applications.

Enabling Secure Onboarding Using SAML

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based open standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data. Both SAP HANA Cloud Platform mobile services and SAP Mobile Platform Server support SAML authentication. The Logon plugin can use SAML authentication with or without Mobile Place.

User Registration Using the AuthProxy Plugin

While the previous section described using the Logon plugin to manage registration and authentication processes, an alternative is to use the AuthProxy plugin.
