Article ID: 174811 - Last Review: June 23, 2005 - Revision: 5.4 Authentication and Security White Paper for Internet DevelopersThis article was previously published under Q174811 We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security.

SUMMARY
This article is a pointer to a white paper available for download. The
white paper discusses Windows NT security as it relates to Internet
Information Server (IIS) so that you can effectively troubleshoot security-
related problems. It covers the three forms of authentication, how they
differ, several ways of controlling access to key areas on your Web
server,
and the important, but almost universally misunderstood, concept of
"delegation." Understanding delegation is mandatory for anyone building a
data driven Web site using IIS. Understanding how Windows NT handles
different "users" will potentially save you days or weeks of
troubleshooting.
