The only way I'd allow a wireless device access to the back-end ERP is through a VPN. This includes deployments in the Amazon cloud. Separate the backend ERP functions from the public ecommerce/public functions and deploy a minimal ofbiz instance for ports 80 and 443.
Deploy a full ofbiz ERP accessible only from the back-end network and login via a VPN. Allowing 'admin' access, even via port 443 is a silly security risk. Do you think Amazon security would allow this? On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 4:04 AM, Jacques Le Roux <[email protected]> wrote: > I live with that everyday at the moment.
