Windows:
There are a few precautions you can take in order to secure your connection:
Zend Server Best Practices
Be secured using SSL connection - a certificate is needed by 3rd party vendors to enable
encryption between client and server.
All IIS versions (5,6,7) use this surf-safe mode.
Use https connection which enables encryption.
Configure your Username and Password using 7-12 alpha-numeric numerals. Set your Password
immediately after first-time installation.
Protect your connection using Anti-Virus.
Windows users should update their Microsoft Installation packs with the provided updates to
avoid back-doors and loop-holes.
To limit IP access:
Enter your Web server's configuration and define the IP addresses that should be enabled.
Apache users should refer to the Apache documentation -
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/access.html - Access control by host
