Integrity stamping a product configuration
You can prevent unauthorized changes to the installed product by using integrity
management. If pcAnywhere detects that a pcAnywhere executable, registry, or
configuration file has been changed in an installed, integrity-stamped package,
pcAnywhere will not run.
If you use integrity management, you must exclude the pcAnywhere Manager
and LiveUpdate features. Once an integrity-stamped package is installed, users
are restricted from changing or updating pcAnywhere in any way, including
installation of software upgrades using LiveUpdate. When updates are needed,
you must create and deploy a new package.
Breaches to integrity, including changes to the registry or adding or deleting files,
can result in denial of service. Use integrity management in conjunction with
policy management and overall strong security practices, such as hardening the
operating system.
See “Implementing policy-based administration” on page 98.
