Customizing Authentication in MicroStrategy Mobile for Android

As a component of the MicroStrategy platform, the MicroStrategy Mobile application has access to all the data and functionality the platform offers. Like other platform components, MicroStrategy Mobile must be authenticated to the MicroStrategy environment, at each level that is configured in a given environment, to gain access to MicroStrategy data and functionality. This can include server authentication and project authentication.

The MicroStrategy SDK lets you customize authentication on both the server side and client side. For example, you can customize the look and feel of the authentication prompts (login and change password screens) on mobile devices, or add trusted server support. You can also customize the credentials validation process on the MicroStrategy Mobile Server by creating a custom mobile login task.
