Are there any links, diagrams, PDF's, etc. that describe the security model
for CMS?

Thanks

Hi Tom,

information about the security model of MCMS are in the MCMS documentation.
What additional information do you need?

Cheers,
Stefan

Stefan:

We used MCMS for an Extranet site for the Executives. It works great. But
internal audit along with SOX compliance are asking me questions reagrding
the security model for MCMS. I need to document how the MCMS securtiy model
and describe how MCMS helps prevent attackers from getting through.

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...in/SecAuth.mspx

is a good overview and still totally relevant to 2002 - especially the
workflow diagram.

if you are interested in more general platform security - this is non MCMS
specific and either IIS and Windows security (see the IIS docs online) or
web application security (see the improving web app security PAG)

Hi Tom,

MCMS relies on the authentication provided by IIS and ASP.NET.
MCMS itself then does authorization based on the AD/NT account impersonated
by IIS/ASP.NET.

With other words: MCMS relies on the fact that IIS and ASP.NET is configured
to target such attacks.

Cheers,
Stefan
