3 Administering MicroStrategy Mobile Mobile Design and Administration Guide You must make sure that IIS uses anonymous authentication to access all directories at the Mobile Server application level. In addition, you must enable integrated Windows authentication for all directories except the following image directories: • MicroStrategyMobile/asp/images • MicroStrategyMobile/images Integrated Windows authentication must be disabled for these directories. For instructions on how to configure the authentication settings in your version of IIS, see the IIS documentation. Privileges and permissions Reports viewed in Mobile are subject to the same security restrictions as reports viewed in any other MicroStrategy client. In particular, access control lists (ACLs) and security filters are applied to reports viewed in Mobile in the same way as in MicroStrategy Web or Desktop. To view reports in Mobile, users must have the Use MicroStrategy Mobile privilege for all projects containing reports they want to view. In addition, to view Report Services documents in Mobile, users must have the Mobile View Documents privilege for all projects containing documents they want to view. Both these privileges can be found in the MicroStrategy Mobile privilege group. It is the responsibility of the system administrator to ensure that MicroStrategy Mobile users have the privileges and permissions necessary to view reports and documents. In general, this means that users should have the Execute permission for any reports they are subscribed to, and for any objects contained in those reports. For information on setting user privileges and object permissions, see the Setting Up User Security chapter in the System Administration Guide, or see the Help for MicroStrategy Desktop. For a complete list of user privileges, see the List of Privileges chapter in the Supplemental Reference for System Administration. 116 Installing and configuring Mobile Server © 2012 MicroStrategy, Inc.
Mobile Design and Administration Guide Administering MicroStrategy Mobile 3 SSL encryption MicroStrategy Mobile is equipped to take advantage of Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, to ensure that your data remain secure at all stages of transmission. SSL transmissions can be identified by the https:// prefix, instead of the standard http:// prefix. For detailed instructions on configuring Mobile Server to use SSL, see the Enabling Secure Communications chapter in the MicroStrategy System Administration Guide. If you are using MicroStrategy Mobile for Android devices, you can specify a location for trusted certificates in the Connectivity Settings tab in the Mobile Configuration. If you are using MicroStrategy Mobile for the BlackBerry, all communication between the BlackBerry and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) is encrypted. Communication between the BES and Mobile Server is only encrypted if you are using an SSL connection. The use of SSL is necessary for security if the BES and Mobile Server are not behind the same firewall, or if your configuration does not include a BES. Client authentication with a certificate server MicroStrategy Mobile Server can use a certificate server to authenticate the identity of all mobile clients. This certificate server can run on the same application server as the Mobile Server, or on a different one. When client authentication is enabled and a certificate server is configured, a valid certificate must be issued to mobile clients that allows them to gain access to the Mobile Server. This process ensures that each mobile device is authorized to access the system, and allows you to deny authentication requests from devices which may have been compromised. To set up the client certificate server 1 Set up SSL between mobile devices and MicroStrategy Mobile using the procedure in the Administering MicroStrategy Web and Mobile chapter in the MicroStrategy System Administration Guide. 2 Install the certificate server using the ASP or JSP installation file from your MicroStrategy installation folder.
