Securing An Application's Configuration Parameters

Typically, an application vendor provides a setup program to install a Web telephony application on the server. This setup program sets the initial configuration parameters for the application. By default, the configuration parameters are accessible through the Windows 2000 Computer Management tool, and an administrator can change an application's configuration parameters at any time. This can create problems if an application requires certain settings in order to work properly.

Your setup program can prevent an administrator from changing many of an application's configuration parameters by setting the WTEApplication.EnableFullConfiguration property to FALSE. When this property is FALSE, the WTE administration tool displays only the General and Addresses tabs in the application's property sheet.
