Authentication Against the Local Database

A Mobile Web Client user is typically authenticated before connecting to the local database.

The Mobile Web Client only supports database authentication through the database security adapter on the Mobile client.

CAUTION:  The Mobile Web Client does not support third-party or customer proprietary authentication methods.

The password in the local database is set in one of the following ways:

• During client initialization, the password assigned to the local database is the same as the password assigned by an administrator at the server level for synchronizing the local database.
• The user may assign a different password for local database access.

  For information about changing the local database password, see Configuring the Mobile Web Client for Local Database Password Encryption.

An administrator can opt for the local database password to be encrypted before being sent to the database for authentication. For information about RSA SHA-1 encryption of the local database password, see Configuring the Mobile Web Client for Local Database Password Encryption and Configuring the Remote Server for Local Database Password Encryption.
