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.

Note

Access to this Configuration Service Provider is determined by security roles. Because OEMs and mobile operators can selectively disallow access, ask them about the availability of this Configuration Service Provider. For more information about roles, see Security Roles and Default Roles for Configuration Service Providers.

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 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/<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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

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