DMAcc Configuration Service Provider

4/8/2010

This configuration service provider handles the OMA DM DMAcc management object that stores the OMA DM server-specific settings. These settings are collectively referred to as an OMA DM account. The DMAcc node is the parent to all OMA DM account nodes.

The following image shows the management object used by OMA DM.

The following table shows the default settings for DMAcc. The default security role maps to each subnode unless specific permission is granted to the subnode.

Security Note:
Security roles for the DMAcc Configuration Service Provider and the DMS Configuration Service Provider should be synchronized. Because they share the same data store, having different roles could result in elevated privileges.

• DMAcc
  The root node for the DMAcc object. The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	node
  Access Type	Get
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Permanent

• DMAcc/<x>
  A placeholder for one or more SyncML DM account nodes. The <x> is a unique identifier for the OMA DM account settings, making each DMAcc/<x> node the unique parent node for an account. This node name is assigned by the server at bootstrap. If the device is bootstrapped with the w7 Application Configuration Service Provider, then the value for <x> is a hash of the server ID.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	node
  Access Type	Add, Get, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	ZeroOrMore
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/Addr
  Stores various addresses. The type of address stored is specified by the value of the AddrType node.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	chr
  Access Type	Add, Get, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/AddrType
  Specifies the format and interpretation of the <x>/Addr node value. The value is encoded as an inline string, as specified in the following table:

  Address Type	Value	Description
  HTTP	1	URL (See RFC2396)

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	chr
  Access Type	Add, Get, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/PortNbr
  Specifies the port number to use for the current bearer, if applicable. This must be a decimal number and must fit within the range of a 16-bit unsigned integer.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	chr
  Access Type	Add, Get, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	ZeroOrOne
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/ConRef
  Points to connectivity information that is stored elsewhere in the device. This is used to locate connectivity information that is stored separately from the SyncML DM management object.

  This should provide a logical link to an existing connectivity object anywhere in the device.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	chr
  Access Type	Add, Get, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/ServerId
  The server identifier for the current OMA DM account. This value is set during bootstrap.

  Note

  After the ServerId is set, it cannot be changed in a regular OMA DM session.

  Note

  In a server trigger, the client treats ServerID as UTF-8 encoding, instead of US-ASCII character. UTF-8 is the super set of US-ASCII.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	chr
  Access Type	Add, Get, Delete
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/ServerPW
  Holds the password or secret that the server uses to authenticate itself to the client.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	chr
  Access Type	Add, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/ServerNonce
  Stores the next nonce that the server will use to authenticate itself to the client. Nonce refers to a number used once. It is often a random or pseudo-random number issued in an authentication protocol to ensure that old communications cannot be reused in repeat attacks.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	bin
  Access Type	Add, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/UserName
  Stores the name of the user or device. This information is used in OMA DM authentication.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	chr
  Access Type	Add, Get, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/ClientPW
  Holds the password or secret that the client uses to authenticate itself to the server.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	chr
  Access Type	Add, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/ClientNonce
  Stores the next nonce that the client will use to authenticate itself to the server. Nonce refers to a number used once. It is often a random or pseudo-random number issued in an authentication protocol to ensure that old communications cannot be reused in repeat attacks.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	bin
  Access Type	Add, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/AuthPref
  (Optional) A string-valued parameter whose possible values are the names of the various SyncML authentication types. For example, syncml:auth-md5. If this node is present, the client uses this authentication type when connecting to the server. The use of this node reduces the number of round trips between client and server that would be caused by authentication challenges.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	chr
  Access Type	Add, Get, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	ZeroOrOne
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/Name
  (Optional) Stores the name for the current SyncML DM account.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	chr
  Access Type	Add, Get, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	ZeroOrOne
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/Ext
  Stores extended parameters.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	Node
  Access Type	Get
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/Ext/Microsoft
  Stores Microsoft-specific parameters.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	node
  Access Type	Get
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/Ext/Microsoft/Role
  Specifies the role mask that the DM session runs with when it communicates with the server.

  If this parameter is not present, the DM session is given the role mask of the DM session that the server is created.

  Note

  The acceptable access roles for this node cannot be more than the roles assigned to the DMS object.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	chr
  Access Type	Get, Replace
  Occurs	One
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/Ext/Microsoft/DefaultEncoding
  Specifies whether the DM client will use WBXML or XML for the DM package when communicating with the server.

  The following list shows the possible values:

  • application/vnd.syncml.dm+xml (Default)
  • application/vnd.syncml.dm+wbxml

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	Chr
  Access type	Get, Replace, Add, Delete
  Occurs	ZeroOrOne
  Scope	Dynamic

• DMAcc/<x>/Ext/Microsoft/UseHwDevID
  Specifies whether to use the hardware ID for the ./DevInfo/DevID node in the DM accoung to identify the device.

  The following list shows the possible values:

  • If the value is True, the hardware device ID will be provided at the ./DevInfo/DevID node and Source LocURI for the DM package that is sent to the server: IMEI is returned for a GSM device, the ESN for a CDMA device, and a GUID for a non-radio device. These values and their formats are described in the DevInfo Configuration Service Provider.
  • If the value is False or absent, an application-specific GUID is returned rather than the hardware device ID. This is the default behavior.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Note

  Parent node roles for security permissions do not apply to this node.

  The following table shows the default settings.

  Data type	bool
  Access Type	Add, Get, Delete, Replace
  Occurs	ZeroOrOne
  Scope	Dynamic
  Roles allowed to query and update	Manager Operator TPS

• DMAcc/<x>/Ext/Microsoft/BackCompatRetryDisabled
  Specifies whether to retry resending a package with an older protocol version (for example, 1.1) in the SyncHdr (not including the first time).

  Valid values are:

  FALSE: back compat retry is enabled

  TRUE: back compat retry is disabled

  Data type	bool
  Access type	Add, Get, Replace, Delete
  Occurs	ZeroOrOne
