Connection PropertiesLocate this document in the navigation structure

Connection properties define the connection information for a client application so it can locate the appropriate SAP Mobile Server synchronization service.

Typically, production client applications connect to the synchronization server via Relay Server or some other third-party intermediary reverse proxy server. In those cases, the settings for the synchronization host, port, and protocol need to use Relay Server property values. For more information on how these properties are used in a synchronization environment, see Replication in System Administration.
  • Activation Code (not applicable to replication clients) the original code sent to the user in the activation e-mail. Can contain only letters A – Z (uppercase or lowercase), numbers 0 – 9, or a combination of both. Acceptable range: 1 to 10 characters.
  • Farm ID a string associated with the Relay Server farm ID. Can contain only letters A – Z (uppercase or lowercase), numbers 0 – 9, or a combination of both. Default: 0.
  • Server Name the DNS name or IP address of the SAP Mobile Server, such as "myserver.mycompany.com". If using Relay Server, the server name is the IP address or fully qualified name of the Relay Server host.
  • Server Port the port used for messaging connections between the device and SAP Mobile Server. If using Relay Server, this is the Relay Server port. Default: 5001.
  • Synchronization Server Host the server host name used for synchronization.
  • Synchronization Server Port the port used for synchronization.
  • Synchronization Server Protocol the synchronization protocol - HTTP or HTTPS.
  • Synchronization Server Stream Parameters the synchronization server stream parameters that are used to explicitly set client-specific values. After the client application successfully registers with the SAP Mobile Server, it receives the trusted certificate configured in the Server configuration (either the Secure Sync Port Public Certificate or Trusted Relay Server Certificate). If you are using Relay Server, ensure the Trusted Relay Server Certificate property is configured to point to a file that has the server's public certificate.
    You can configure these parameters as one or more<name>=<value> entries.
    • trusted_certificates the file containing trusted root certificate file.
    • certificate_name the name of the certificate, which is used to verify certificate.
    • certificate_unit the unit, which is used to verify certificate.
    • certificate_company the name of the company issuing the certificate, which is used to verify certificate.

    For more information about certificates, see Security.
  • Synchronization Server URL Suffix the server URL suffix. For Relay Server, suffixes vary depending on the Web Server used. For example, /cli/iarelayserver/<FarmName> for Apache, or ias_relay_server/client/rs_client.dll/<FarmName> for IIS.
  • Use HTTPS forces clients to use HTTPS protocol for the connection.
