Configuring Security in SAP Mobile PlatformLocate this document in the navigation structure

To administer security across SAP Mobile Platform, you need to create and configure security profiles, assign authentication providers to the security profiles, map SAP Mobile Platform logical roles to your physical roles, manage the keystores and truststore, ensure strong JVM encryption, and configure virus protection for the landscape. Then you should monitor and validate your security configuration to ensure system health.

Prerequisites

Review Planning your Security Landscape before proceeding with configuring SAP Mobile Platform security.

Procedure


  1. Securing the Server Infrastructure
    Before you can secure platform administration, you must first secure the underlying infrastructure, preventing files on the host from being tampered with and allowing SAP Mobile Platform Server to run with existing security mechanisms.
  2. Securing Platform Administration
    Use Management Cockpit to remotely and securely administer SAP Mobile Platform.
  3. Configuring Security Profiles and Authentication Providers
    Use Management Cockpit to configure security profiles and corresponding authentication providers to define the security access and scope for users mapped to logical roles in SAP Mobile Platform.
  4. Role Mapping
    Map SAP Mobile Platform logical roles to users' physical roles that are defined in your identity management system.
  5. Certificates and Keys
    The SAP Mobile Platform shared keystore and truststore manage certificates, and private and public keys.
  6. Configuring Strong Encryption for JVM Security
    Enable strong encryption in your environment to ensure adequate security by modifying the default encryption on your Java virtual machine (JVM).
  7. Configuring Virus Scan
    Configure and perform virus scanning to ensure the security and integrity of your landscape.
  8. Monitoring and Validating SAP Mobile Platform Security
    Use multiple diagnostic sources, such as security logs and debugging tools, to troubleshoot and ensure the health of your system. Monitoring data can effectively supplement obscure and abbreviated debug/syslog output.
  9. End-to-End Security Configuration
    In an SAP Mobile Platform landscape, secure communications between applications running on mobile devices and back-end systems.
