Before you can secure the runtime, you must first secure the
underlying infrastructure. This activity prevents files from being tampered with on the
host, also allows the Unwired Server to run with existing security
mechanisms.
Handling Intrusion Detection/Prevention Software
A personal firewall, or intrusion detection/prevention software (IPS or IDPS), can cause Unwired Platform components to malfunction or not function at all. Unwired 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
Unwired Platform runs as a collection of Windows services. During installation, you are prompted with a Logon as request. The credentials collected are then used to run the service under that account. In a cluster installation, the same Windows user would be configured for all installations and respective Window services that are subsequently installed.
