ADOBE CONTRIBUTE CS3 13 User Guide If you're not sure how to edit the Apache httpd.conf file or don't have permission to do so, ask your system administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) to do it for you. To learn more about limiting access to files and folders, and other security issues relevant to the Apache web server, see the documentation supplied with your Apache distribution. Microsoft IIS web servers To prevent unauthorized users from accessing Contribute administrative folders under Microsoft IIS, use access control lists (ACLs) to prevent read access by unauthenticated users of the operating system as well as by clients connecting to IIS. When you use ACLs to restrict access, only properly authenticated users can view the contents of the Contribute administrative folder. Anonymous web clients, or other users with access to the server, cannot view the administrative folder and its contents. Note: When setting permissions for Contribute administrative folders, ensure that Contribute has read/write access to the administrative folders and the files they contain. Contribute uses the settings in these files to enforce role settings of users connecting to the site. In addition to securing the administrative folders using the operating system's permissions and access control lists, consider using UrlScan to further secure IIS web servers. UrlScan is a security tool provided by Microsoft that screens incoming requests to the server by filtering the requests based on rules that you create. Filtering requests helps secure the server by ensuring that only valid requests are processed. To learn more about the UrlScan utility, see the Microsoft website at www.microsoft.com. Other web servers If you are using another vendor's web server, refer to the documentation supplied with your web server software to learn how to prevent users from accessing specific folders and files. Special files created by the draft review process The draft review process enables you to send drafts to users for final approval before publishing pages to your site. When you enable the draft review process, Contribute creates a series of folders and files used in tracking pages as they make their way through the collaborative approval workflow. Although there are no site maintenance or planning tasks involved in enabling approvals for your website, be aware of the additional files and folders that Contribute creates to manage the workflow.

If you’re not sure how to edit the Apache httpd.conf file or don’t have permission to do so, ask your system admin-
istrator or Internet service provider (ISP) to do it for you. To learn more about limiting access to files and folders,
and other security issues relevant to the Apache web server, see the documentation supplied with your Apache distri-
bution.
Microsoft IIS web servers
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing Contribute administrative folders under Microsoft IIS, use access
control lists (ACLs) to prevent read access by unauthenticated users of the operating system as well as by clients
connecting to IIS. When you use ACLs to restrict access, only properly authenticated users can view the contents of
the Contribute administrative folder. Anonymous web clients, or other users with access to the server, cannot view
the administrative folder and its contents.
Note:
When setting permissions for Contribute administrative folders, ensure that Contribute has read/write access to
the administrative folders and the files they contain. Contribute uses the settings in these files to enforce role settings of
users connecting to the site.
In addition to securing the administrative folders using the operating system’s permissions and access control lists,
consider using UrlScan to further secure IIS web servers. UrlScan is a security tool provided by Microsoft that
screens incoming requests to the server by filtering the requests based on rules that you create. Filtering requests
helps secure the server by ensuring that only valid requests are processed.

learn how to prevent users from accessing specific folders and files.
