Re: Publish Solution to AppSource with External Data Source (Azure MSSQL)
Hi @AdamGill1965
I am not sure why you think putting an unmanaged solution protects anything as its just the opposite.
I can tell you this, there is no way to completely protect yourself when it comes to Dynamics and Power Apps. Its just not that kind of platform. Manage, Unmanaged is all irrelevant really as it relates to protection, especially of the data as you cannot lock out everyone no matter how hard you try, its not possible, since customizers, admins etc have to have privs to things.
That being said.. If you really and truly have to do it, then store things behind a secure end point (I would not use SQL, use Blob Storage and then put an API in front of it). You can then create a custom connector which you can register and so on..
But either way, you definitely would need to keep them off the system and make call outs to it. However at some point they have to load them, and at that point, unless you are licensing each piece.. people are going to be able to download them.
Trust me.. this is a wrestling match that ALL ISVS's and Indis have.
If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others
Cheers
Thank You
