Chapter 3 Designing Your System
Security
Security is an important consideration when setting up any kind of server
application. With Autodesk MapGuide, you can implement security for your
server computer at a number of different levels. There are three main
methods for setting up security:
Use the Windows NT or Windows 2000 Administrator tools to set security
for files and directories on the server computer.
Use your web server to set security for virtual directories. Plan your direc-
tory structure so that files requiring security are above the web root.
Use Autodesk MapGuide to set up user IDs and passwords, access keys, and
passkeys to protect resources (such as SDFs and databases), maps, and map
layers.
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 permis-
sions, because all users have access to all files and directories. If these direc-
tories 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 permis-
sions, 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.
