Summary :
SAP Note addresses enhancing the security of message servers. It provides guidelines for configuring external monitors, differentiating internal and external communication, and utilizing ACLs for secure access. Three configurations are crucial: 1) Adjusting 'ms/monitor' parameter settings to restrict or allow external monitoring operations. 2) Specifying 'rdisp/msserv_internal' to segregate internal and external data channels effectively. 3) Setting 'ms/acl_info' to manage access with a focus on specifying allowed IPs or domains. These configurations help safeguard systems from unauthorized access and ensure communication integrity within application servers. Additionally, adjustments in sapevt program connections are highlighted to prevent unauthorized event triggers.
