Configuring application security-check properties
Learn how to customize the security-check configurations for a specific application version.
About this task
You can make application-specific changes to the default values of any predefined or custom security-check property that is exposed on the same MobileFirst Server instance as your application. The documentation of the predefined security checks lists the properties that are supported for each check, and their default values. See Predefined MobileFirst security checks. For custom security checks, the basic configuration is defined in the adapter descriptor file, and can be overridden for a specific server instance in the adapter runtime-configuration file. See Security-checks configuration. In addition, for the custom security checks the MobileFirst security framework provides an application-specific property for enabling device SSO. See Configuring device single sign-on (SSO). The IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Operations Console for your MobileFirst Server instance displays the available security checks and their properties, including the property values, default values, and descriptions (if provided in the definition). Follow the outlined procedure to customize the property values for your application.
