Abstract
This chapter focuses on the Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 authentication methods. Microsoft has made radical changes to its Web server in Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 supports an operation mode that is known as worker process isolation mode that enables different Web sites and their worker processes that are running on the same physical server to operate completely independent of one another—much like, a logical firewall has been set up between them. This enables a per Web site configuration of security parameters, for example, the security identity used by a Web site, and performance parameters, for example, the amount of system resources that can be consumed by a Web site. By default, IIS 6.0 is only capable of providing static Web page support. In IIS 6.0, Microsoft also provides separate processes for the administration and housekeeping of the Web server and the treatment of incoming and outgoing hypertext transport protocol messages.
