Before you can secure platform administration, you must first secure the underlying
infrastructure, preventing files from being tampered with on the host and allowing the
SAP Mobile Platform Server to run with existing security mechanisms.
Managing Firewalls and Intrusion Prevention
A personal firewall, or intrusion detection and prevention software (IPS or IDPS), can cause SAP Mobile Platform components to malfunction or not function at all. SAP Mobile Platform uses regular IP communication between components on the primary network interface of a computer, even when all components are installed on the same host.
Setting File System Permissions
After installation, you can restrict access by removing most users and groups from the SAP Mobile Platform installation directory.
