Help Index Windows NT, security Windows 2000, security Help Index Web servers security Using Windows NT or Windows 2000 Security We recommend that you review the security settings for all folders on your server and adjust them appropriately, depending on the files they contain. If your Autodesk MapGuide Server directories are on a drive that uses the file allocation table (FAT) file system, you do not need to set Windows permissions, because all users have access to all files and directories. If these directories are on a drive that uses a Windows NT File System (NTFS), you must set the appropriate permissions on these directories for each account intended to access these directories. In addition to setting security for individual files and directories, you can also set security for all directories controlled by your Web server. The next section discusses this approach. Using Web Server Security When you create a Web publishing directory, you can set access permissions for the defined home directory or virtual directory and all of the directories below it. The World Wide Web (WWW) service provides the access permissions, which are in addition to the permissions provided by the NTFS file system. Note that ColdFusion template files (.cfm files) interact with the Web server in a similar manner to a CGI scripting process, so any directory containing these files must also have Execute access. The security considerations for your Autodesk MapGuide site are the same as those for any other Web site that provides data. With that in mind, we recommend that you create an organized directory structure with permissions that appropriately protect the files on the Web site enabled by Autodesk MapGuide. In addition to the Windows NT/Windows 2000 and Web server security methods just discussed, you can also use a variety of methods in Autodesk MapGuide Server to set up security. Using Autodesk MapGuide Security Autodesk MapGuide Server and Autodesk MapGuide® Author provide you with the following methods for keeping your data resources and maps secure: User IDs and passwords to control access to maps, map layers, and data sources Access keys to control map layer access to data sources and map feature coordinate values Security | 51
