I got this in a newsletter today...He says IIS6 may be out by 1Q 2002. IIS 6.0 is a complete paradigm shift; it provides an infrastructure that installs security hotfixes by default. IIS 6.0 also lets you download hotfixes and apply them automatically as they become available. IIS 6.0 includes these security enhancements: - Configurable Worker Process Identities, which let you start services under the security context of LocalSystem, LocalService, NetworkService, or a configurable account. - Selectable Crypto Service Provider, which lets you use hardware- based Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Hardware-based SSL is lightning-fast compared with the SSL latency we have to deal with today in IIS 5.0 and older releases. - Remotable Certificate installation and removal, which lets you install and remove certificates on remote computers. - Publishing, which you can disable. - Delegation for all protocols so you can securely distribute a Kerberos ticket when you use Digest, Basic, NT LAN Manager (NTLM), or Passport. - Sand-boxed FTP, which lets you configure FTP sites so only specific users can upload content. http://www.iisadministrator.com jon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
