Purpose
Liquid UI for Android now supports the most advanced secure authentication process with the Security Lock feature. This feature authenticates your users' identity before they edit or connect to your SAP Server, thus protecting data from any unauthorized access. Once configured, this feature allows your users to connect to your SAP either using their face or their fingerprint in the application.
The security lock provides you with a two-factor authentication process, where users confirm their identity by either of the following options:
- Touch ID
- Face ID
The Security Lock feature is implemented at the SAP connection level, so by enabling this feature, users can’t connect to their SAP server or even see their SAP connection details without confirming their identity.
Prerequisites
- Check the device hardware for the security lock authentication support for fingerprint or facial recognition.
- Make sure to register with a fingerprint recognition system or facial recognition system on your device to use the Security lock feature.
User Interface
In this scenario, you will learn how to enable the security lock feature for an SAP connection in your Liquid UI for Android App.
- On the Server Connections screen, click ADD CONNECTION or EDIT CONNECTION to open the connection details screen. In this article, we will be editing the existing connection details.
- Enter your SAP server connection details on the screen.
- You will see the Biometric Lock option on the top. Slide the control ON to enable the security lock. Once you turn on the Security lock, it will display a green color line, as shown below.
- After enabling a Security Lock, you either need to use the fingerprint sensor or face detection sensor, or the device passcode to authorize the Liquid UI for Android to use your identity.
Note: Credentials to authorize the Security lock will be similar to the screen lock credentials.
- Click CONNECT TO MY SAP to save your SAP server connection details.
