3. Web Hosting with Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Greater reliability More secure Better performance Ease of administration Support for.NET technologies Improved diagnostics

4. Basic Shared WES Hosting Architecture

5. Introduction to Single Server Configuration Components: IIS 6.0  WWW  FTP ASP.NET 1.1, 2.0 ASP Windows Server™ 2003 Web Edition

6. Directory Structure Prescription (local) Provides: FTP isolation Ease of migration Security

7. Web Hosting: Application Pools IIS application pools Application Pool is a dedicated process and configuration that one or more web sites can share Security considerations  Dedicated application pool can provide high degree of security Consider grouping sites based on content type (static content, ASP or ASP.NET, data-driven Web – SQL connection) or group per user types or service level agreements (SLAs).  Example:  AppPool-1-ASPSites  AppPool-2-ASP.NET1.1Sites  AppPool-3-ASP2.0Sites  AppPool-4-StaticSites  And so on ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 must be kept in separate Application Pools

8. FTP Isolation Mode Overview FTP Isolation Modes Do not isolate users  Best for download-only sites Isolate users (Local Users)  Authenticates users against local accounts before they can access the home directory that matches their user name  Restricts directory access / folder location based on user accounts Isolate users using Active Directory® directory service  FTP Home Directory configured as attribute on user object in Active Directory Recommended to use either Local or Active Directory Isolation mode  Technical labs use Local Isolation Mode

9. Security Recommendations Web Sites – Security Tuning Windows Server 2003 is “secure by default”  IIS not installed, and if installed default configuration is minimum services Remove unnecessary extensions / capabilities (ASP for example) Application pools — Separate static and dynamic sites into different pools Set quotas for sites – Windows 2003 quota services (and track usage) Configure one unique anonymous user per site (IUSR_...) using ADSUTIL.VBS script Security set on each folder in the tree (mainly using inheritance from the user’s site root) Windows Server 2003 R2 includes Directory-level Quotas (rather than User-level quotas) using File Server Resource Manager

10. Installation Steps for Web Hosting 1. Confirm that your server hardware meets the system requirements of IIS. 2. Determine whether you will deploy IIS in a centralized or locally managed configuration. 3. Decide if you will install IIS manually or if you will use an automated installation. 4. Decide what optional components you will install, such as FTP, ASP.NET, SMTP, and FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE). 5. Install IIS, including any optional components. 6. Verify your IIS installation.
