Client security configurations

This topic describes recommended practices for using the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Configuration utility in a secure manner.
Do not install the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Configuration utility on the client computers in a production environment. Instead, create a client configuration file, and store the file in a network shared folder. To install Microsoft Dynamics AX clients that do not include the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Configuration utility, you must perform a silent installation. For more information, see Mass deployment of the Microsoft Dynamics AX Windows client.
Configure the network shared folder that contains the client configuration file so that all Microsoft Dynamics AX users who are not system administrators have read-only permission. By storing the configuration file in a network shared folder that is configured for read-only permission, you can help prevent accidental changes to the configuration file.
