Client-Side Incidents
SAP NetWeaver Mobile provides security features that allow client-side incidents to be reported to the Data Orchestration Engine(DOE) administrator. In the DOE, SAP NetWeaver Mobile has classified the client-side incidents into various security codes.
For each security code, you can assign a severity level and a security level. The severity level that you assign enables the DOE to indicate a status for the relevant activity. The administrator can view this status in his or her inbox. The security level that you assign determines the action the DOE should perform on receiving the security level.
Each client-side activity, related to security, is assigned a security code and this code is a three-digit number. The security codes are explained in the table below:
Security Incident
Security Code |
Description |
000 |
Normal operation on the client. No security incident reported. |
100 |
A client device user attempts unsuccessfully to log on to a mobile client |
200 |
A client device user has performed an unauthorized operation on a client. For example, if additional users must access a mobile client, they must first create an account on the client. When you start the client, an existing user must first log on to the client, and then log off. Only then can a new user create an account. Otherwise, the operation performed by the user is considered unauthorized. |
300 |
A client device user attempts to enter invalid parameters at log on. This situation occurs if the client device user forcefully attempts to log on to a mobile client, a typical case of hacking. |
400 |
The data in a mobile client database has been changed without the user having logged on the client. This situation occurs when a client device user has directly accessed the database, which is not allowed. |
500 |
Maximum number of invalid login attempts exceeded.
The number of invalid login attempts is three. If a user attempts to log on a mobile client and is unsuccessful for three consecutive times, the client enters this security code in the log file. On next successful synchronization of the client, this security code is reported to the DOE. |
600 |
A client device user has deleted those files in a mobile client that contain security-related information. |
For each security code, you can set a severity level. The severity level determines the status that must be displayed when the DOE receives the log file from the client. Following are the three severity levels that can be set:
· Fatal (F)– The log display status is set to red.
· Warning (W) –The log display status is set to yellow.
· Information (S) – The log display status is set to green.
For each security code, you can set a security level. The security level determines the action performed by the DOE when a particular security code is reported.
