Though the Device Security Manager PowerToy for Windows Mobile 5.0 has been available since June 6th, 2006, it's such an important application that it deserves mention even a year after its release. For one thing, it allows developers to easily bypass the incessant prompting that occurs every time a binary is changed and loaded on the device. And for two, it allows you as a developer to test different security policies on one device.
The website says:
Device Security Manager helps developers test various security policies for Windows Mobile devices. It is designed as a desktop application that ships w ith a preset list of “security configurations”. A security configuration can be thought of as a template, which contains a collection of individual policies and settings. For example, a security configuration could define policies such as whether unsigned applications are allowed to execute, whether RAPI is disabled etc. Using this tool, the developer can provision a Windows Mobile device with different configurations, and then test the application’s behavior under these configurations. This tool can be used either on an emulator or an unlocked Windows Mobile device.
