How to protect SharedProperty from prying eyes and use it on AFCS for logic?

[Mickey79]

Hello,

I would like to store some SharedProperty values for the application logic on the server side. As I udnerstand SharedProperty is suitable for that.

Does it get distributed to clients as well and if yes can they easily see it or hack it?

Can I perhaps encode it with the encoding public method to hide it from them? (http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/acrobatcom/com/adobe/rtc/util/ISO9075.html)

Also is there any way I could check user input against this shared property and take appropriate action or this can be only done by passing user input to my server via HTTP?

Hi,

Clients would not get SharedProperty until they subscribe to it. So you can write your client logic so that they wouldnt subscribe.

Also you can enforce permissions on the SharedProperty so that only the owner of the room can see the SharedProperty. (SharedProperty.accessModel = UserRoles.OWNER & SharedProperty.publishModel=UserRoles.OWNER)

Hope I understood your question right and the solution addresses your issue.

Thanks
