Re: IIS Anonymous Security Issue



It sounds to me that this is entirely a failure in the design of
your provider's hosting and services model. IIS 6 is completely
capable of safely/securely hosting content without opening it up
to problems that, as you note, do arise from allowing the accounts
used on the IIS backside to have write permissions on the content,
and yet also allow you to have accounts (different) that do have
that ability. They are just passing the buck saying that they are
waiting for Windows to solve their poor service model.

Hi,

We're using content editor (as a backend) to update our website frontend
contents (WYSIWYG). The problem is that when we try to update the contents
through this backend, the server is denied and gives us the following
message:

" r.a.d.editor5.6.0 Another process is using the resource (ascx/aspx file)
you are trying to update or the ASPNET user (IIS5) / NETWORK SERVICE
account
(IIS6) has no write privileges for this file. The changes were not
applied"

When we contacted the hosting company, they replied that we have to give
write privileges to the IIS Anonymous user on our server so we can solve
this
issue, but this will cause another problem, is that this action will
effect
negatively on the server security, and therefore the hackers can hacking
our
website easier. They said that this is a Windows Server bug and no
solution
for it yet. Kindly, reply to me with what we should do and are the above
info
are correct that it can't be solved in right way?

We're using Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and the page that we're
trying to update through the content editor is an ASPX.

Regards,


.
