Like most configuration options in Windows Mobile 5.0, security settings are set via XML provisioning. For
example, to enforce the “trusted” model and only allow applications signed with a privileged certificate to run,
use the following provisioning document:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type=”SecurityPolicy”>
<!-- Disallow unsigned apps -->
<parm name="4102" value="0"/>
<!-- No Prompt -->
<parm name=”4122" value=”1”/>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
For more information on various security options, refer to the Security Policy Settings topic in the latest
Windows Mobile documentation.
