Security settings in the message server, SAP security note 821875

Description

You want to increase the security setting of the message server. To do this, you can make the following settings:

    1. set whether external monitors such as the “msmon” monitoring program are allowed to connect to the message server;
    2. set the separation of the internal and external communication
    3. set the use of an ACL list (Access Control List) for the message server

In the Solution, you can see the details for the points listed above

A further symptom is that no events can be triggered via sapevt. The following trace entries appear in the trace of the message server:

[Thr 3936] *** ERROR => MsSClientHandle: client 212.190.195.45 (212.190.
              0.195.45) is EXTERNAL, access denied [msxxserv.c   4843]
