Intrusion Detection and Protection Requirements

To accommodate SAP Mobile Platform internal communications, you may need to reconfigure hardware or software intrusion detection/prevention systems.

Configure "personal firewall" applications, or host-based intrusion prevention software (HIPS) to allow all communications between SAP Mobile Platform server components.
To prevent required internal component communication ports from being blocked, configure an intrusion prevention system (IPS), or intrusion detection and prevention system (IDPS) appliances to allow connections to the ports SAP Mobile Platform uses.
When you install any new intrusion detection/prevention system on an SAP Mobile Platform server host, or on a local network that services an SAP Mobile Platform server host, configure that new system to accommodate all SAP Mobile Platform internal communications.
