3. HOBCOM Universal Server (HCU)
HOBLink Mobile
One Solution - Two Components
HOBLink Mobile consists of two components:
HOBLink Mobile
application for mobile devices
HOBCOM Universal Server (HCU)
central server component
HOBCOM Universal Server (HCU Server) is the server component of HOBLink Mobile, a solution that provides secure remote access to s, calendar entries, contacts and notes. With HOBLink Mobile, an app for Apple iOS and Android devices, access to centrally stored enterprise resources at any time and from anywhere is easy and secure. Enterprises profit from more effective business processes and employees are able to access their corporate Microsoft Outlook accounts from any mobile device (iOS and Android).

Direct Connection
Direct communication between HCU Server and HOBLink Mobile. This is always encrypted with AES (128-bit) encryption. A dedicated HCU protocol developed by HOB is used for communication between the HOBLink Mobile device and HCU Server. The advantage of using direct communication is that it is easy to use and offers security.

5. HOBCOM Universal Server
HOBCOM Universal Server
Secure Connection
Communication between HCU Server and HOBLink Mobile over the HOB RD VPN WebSecureProxy (HOB WSP). HOB RD VPN is a software solution that is specially designed to give you secure remote access over the Internet to the resources in your corporate network.
HOB WSP is the central server component of HOB RD VPN. The advantage of using communication over the HOB WSP is that it offers an even higher level of security requiring certificates. In addition, it is encrypted with SSL.
NOTE: HOB WSP is not included in the HOBLink Mobile solution – it can be obtained at an additional cost.

Authentication
Authentication for a direct connection to the HCU Server is carried out through a username and password combination. There are two types of authentication:
Local
Users are managed by the HCU Server. A separate password can be chosen for HOBLink Mobile and HCU Server. Login and creating users has to be done on the HCU Server side.
LDAP
HCU Server sends a request to the LDAP server and asks if the domain password is correct.

The *.cfg file: includes all information about the configuration of the SSL-encrypted connection you selected.
The *.cdb file: is a certificate database and contains all public and private keys required for this server or client.
The *.pwd file: contains the password with which *.cfg and *.cdb file are protected. This file is generated only if you expressly specify it. If this file is present, the password prompt for the user during connection setup is omitted.
Every server or client requires an HL Security Unit. The files of the server HL Security Unit must have the name prefix hserver.*, the files of the client HL Security Unit must have the name prefix hclient.*.
