Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Application Server:
Developing AppServer Applications

Operating system

In any application environment, access to directories and files can pose a security risk. To provide a tightly secured environment in which to run the AppServer, do not allow client access (using remote log ins, shells, copying, or file sharing) to directories that contain:

AppServer startup/shutdown scripts.
AppServer log files.
Application code to be executed by AppServer agents.
