Platform Security Settings

Describes the platform security setting in the variant project header file

This setting can be useful if you port Symbian platform from a version previous to 9.1.

A number of global platform security configuration settings apply when you build a ROM image. By default, the settings are ON and no capabilities are specified for removal.

If you change the settings and specify capabilities for removal, you must first define the macro __PLATSEC_UNLOCKED__ in the variant.mmh file of your target device and rebuild the kernel. In the template port, you can find this file in ...\template\template_variant\variant.mmh.

Define the macro:

#define __PLATSEC_UNLOCKED__

If you do not define this macro, changes to the settings when you build a ROM image are ignored.

Use of this macro can be good for migration, but remove the macro and rebuild the kernel on production devices.
