Re: FPSE Security

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Check the NTFS permissions then. FP simply gets it's setting from the file
permissions that are on the files and directories. It could be that there is
an error in the actual security permissions on the files/directory but FP is
unable to effectively change them due to the permissions error. It sounds
like the IUSR account either has to much access, or the Everyone group has
also been designated access and has too high a permission level. Typically,
you don't need the Everyone group to have access but give read/write access
to the IUSR group. FP may only be focusing on the IUSR group and not be
picking up the Everyone group. With security issues, it's good to start by
looking directly at the security descriptors on the files themselves because
FP just asks the OS to get or set permissions and doesn't exactly keep it's
own specific set of permissions.

Hope this helps,
