Our latest Vordel Screencast describes how you can protect a Rich Internet Application (RIA) with our XML Gateways, using:
- Content Threat Detection
- SSL
- Certificate Authentication
- Selective Rate Limiting
The last one, Selective Rate Limiting, is important because it allows you to setup the "Freemium" scenario, whereby users can use the service up to a certain limit, but once they reach that limit they need a token (an X.509 Certificate in this case) to use it beyond that limit. Generally, the token indicates that the client has paid a premium (hence the name "freemium": free up to a point, then you pay a premium).
