Rule files
You must create one or more rule files for EMSS when it is deployed as an Internet-facing application. These rule files define exactly which securable objects (database tables or program forms) EMSS is allowed to access from the Internet.
Note: Rule files do not control which bookmarks are accessible externally, only the
underlying objects for each bookmark. If you are running EMSS inside the Lawson Portal or
Infor Lawson for Infor Lawson for Infor Ming.le™, then you must define a custom role file that
controls which bookmarks are accessible from these containers.
This EMSS version provides some templates that you can use to create rule files for your system. Applied together, these templates define full access to all EMSS products outside the firewall. Each template file defines access to a subset of the product.
| File name | Description |
|---|---|
| emss_gen.xml | Access rules for the GEN data source. This is needed for access to any EMSS task or module. Run this rule file if you are enabling any subset of EMSS to the Internet. This file is assigned to the GEN data source in Infor Security Services Administration. |
