CHAPTER 4

Understanding Flash Communication

Server Security

Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX will typically be used in a network environment

where many users will have access to it; by changing its configuration, you can make the server

accessible from within a private network, from the public Internet, or both. When deploying any

server technology, you will want to consider the implications to both the security of your internal

network and the accessibility of the server’s host computer.

Flash Communication Server incorporates security features that take these kinds of concerns into

account. As a server administrator, you can provide additional security. This chapter describes the

security features built into Flash Communication Server as well as additional measures you can

take to protect your server.

Additional information about server security can be found in Macromedia’s Flash Support Center

(http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/).

Managing server security

Flash Communication Server uses a high-speed TCP/IP protocol called Real-Time Messaging

Protocol (RTMP), which is binary and unencrypted. Because the protocol is unencrypted, you

must carefully consider the security of your server configuration and the sensitivity of the data

you send to and from the server.

Flash Communication Server’s default settings at installation provide good security, but as a server

administrator, you provide additional settings as you work with the configuration files and

manage ongoing file deployment.

Edit the security tags in the XML files. Utilize the limits that can be set in the server’s

configuration files. Use the following tags in the XML files to enhance the server’s security:

1 2 ... 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 ... 368 369
