Luis Cabrera of the Windows Mobile Team Blog has pointed us to a PowerToy for Windows Mobile 5 devices that helps monitor the security configuration on a device. The Device Security Manager PowerToy allows you to:
- See the current security configuration on your connected device (including certificates)
- See the policies and certificates for standard security configurations.
- Check the signature on a file.
- Provision the development certificates or a standard security configuration to your connected device. (If you have the rights to do so)
You can download the free PowerToy here.
Here’s an overview from the PowerToy download site:
Device Security Manager helps developers test various security policies for Windows Mobile devices. It is designed as a desktop application that ships with a preset list of “security configurations”. A security configuration can be thought of as a template, which contains a collection of individual policies and settings. For example, a security configuration could define policies such as whether unsigned applications are allowed to execute, whether RAPI is disabled etc. Using this tool, the developer can provision a Windows Mobile device with different configurations, and then test the application’s behavior under these configurations. This tool can be used either on an emulator or an unlocked Windows Mobile device.
