Welcome to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 Security, where we take you on a journey, starting from the security development concepts that use Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 and ending with practical steps to make the necessary security setups, illustrated with snapshots and figures that will guide you through developing your environmental security system.
Chapter 1, MorphX Security System, gives you a solid introduction to MorphX development tools. You will be able to use each development feature in a smooth and fast way.
Chapter 2, Security Coding, gives you the ability to use the code access security to secure your environment and also teaches you how to debug security coding.
Chapter 3, Developing Extensible Data Security, enables you to secure your sensitive data using the extensible data security features by designing and developing XDS policies.

Chapter 5, Enterprise Portal Security, provides you with an understanding of the architecture of the Enterprise Portal in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012, and ensures that you are able to secure web parts and elements.
You will need to properly understand every section first and then practice the examples covered in this book by moving step by step. You also need to run the Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 virtual machine to move with every step, so you will not have to worry about missing anything.
If you are an AX implementer, an AX developer, a network administrator, or an IT person charged with configuring Dynamics AX 2012 R3 in your company, then this book is for you. The book assumes that you are familiar with basic security terminologies. Also, this book provides you with a good overview and covers details that make it suitable for beginners and intermediate and advanced readers.
In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.
Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Other metadata, such as LayerId, can be debugged if needed."
A block of code is set as follows:
SELECT [PRIMARYTABLEAOTNAME], [QUERYOBJECTAOTNAME], [CONSTRAINEDTABLE], [MODELEDQUERYDEBUGINFO], [CONTEXTTYPE],[CONTEXTSTRING], [ISENABLED], [ISMODELED] FROM [AXDBDEV].[dbo].[ModelSecPolRuntimeEx]
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c runas /savecred /user:mywindowsdomain\axtest3 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics AX\6.0\Client\Bin\Ax32.exe"
New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Right-click on the Constrained Tables node."
