  2. Windows 2003 Overview Internet Information Services (IIS) Web Sites Isolated FTP SMTP Relay File Permissions NTFS Shares Windows Firewall / IPSEC 2

  3. Internet Information Services • Not installed by default on a typical installation. Installed through the Windows Component Manager. • Listens on all IP’s. You can use ‘httpcfg’ from the Support Tools to change listener configuration. • Supports main configuration for installed Web, FTP, SMTP, NNTP, and Internet Printing services. • Command ‘iisreset’ can be used to stop, start, restart, and check the status of IIS services. • Metabase for IIS is stored in: “C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\MetaBase.xml” 3

  4. Httpcfg.exe Example • Example shows: • IIS listening on all IP’s. • Httpcfg setting listen only IP. • Restarting services for change to take effect. • Verifying config change. 4

  5. Internet Information Services - Web Host Headers / Web Site Identifcation Used to specify the host header values that a site should respond to. Can be an IP/hostname and port combination. Application Settings Contains configuration for application extensions. Required to tell IIS how to process different extensions, such as PHP. Directory Security / ACLs / SSL Configures a web site or directory access should be anonymous or secured. Can restrict IP access as well. Allows the generation/application of an SSL certificate. Default Documents Specifies loading order of index pages for the web site. 5

  6. Host Headers Designates the IP/Hostname/Port combination that an IIS Web Site should receive requests for. A static IP/Port combination without a host header value will receive requests for any hostname resolving to the static IP. Static IP/Port combinations can only be specified for 1 Web Site without receiving a port conflict. 6

  7. Host Headers Site Accessed by: http://theplanet-pspub.com http://www.theplanet-pspub.com http://app.theplanet.com-pspub.com:6254 Also Accessed by: Any hostname resolving to 64.5.44.188 on across the HTTP and HTTPS protocols 7

  8. Application Settings Tells the web server what handler to use when processing specific application extensions when requested (.php .asp .aspx). Accessing undefined extension will display 404 error. Web site must be linked with an application pool in order to configure the application handlers. Most application extension handlers will require either “Scripts Only” or “Scripts and Executables” permissions to run. Option to cache extensions for better performance. 8

  9. Application Settings

  10. Directory Security / ACLs / SSL Ability to configure anonymous access. Simplistic ACL capability based on IP addresses. Utilizes NTFS permissions for user permissions. Specify web site’s authentication method. Configuration site to require SSL channel. SSL certificate wizard can be used to generate certificate signing requests (CSR). SSL certificate wizards can be used to import/export certificates. Makes migrating certificates easy. 10

  11. Directory Security / ACLs / SSL

  12. Default Documents Specifies the order of “index” pages to try and load when accessing a directory link on the web site. Ability to not specify an index page, which is good if you are running a web based file server. Will receive a 403 error if none of the listed “index” files cannot be found in the directory. 12

  13. Isolated FTP Authenticates users against local or domain accounts before they can access the home directory that matches their user name. All user home directories are in a directory structure under a single FTP root directory where each user is placed and restricted to their home directory. Users are not permitted to navigate out of their home directory. Requires specific directory structure in order to properly authenticate and associated directories. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555018 13

  14. SMTP Relay The following slide shows a sample configuration of the access and relay settings to apply to the SMTP server to only allow local relay for web scripts. 14

  15. SMTP Relay 15

  16. Share Permissions Only associated with the folder that is being shared. Only provide Full Control, Change, and Read. Deny permissions take precedence over allow permissions. Used for folder shares only, not file permissions. 16

  17. NTFS Permissions Deny permissions take precedence over allow permissions. If a user/group has both share and NTFS permissions to a location, the stricter of the two takes precedence. Provides Full Control, Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, and Write. File permissions override folder permissions. 17
