I installed FPSE on my server but it apparently has no security setup.  Ther
e is nothing to stop anyone from connecting
to the website on my server.  How do I get FPSE to restrict access without a
ffecting normal users browsing the site?

Something is not right becaue I have gone in to the site sharepoint site adm
inistration tool and anonymous users are
supposed to be allowed only "Browser" access yet no one that has logged in w
ith FP has had a problem uploading files
without any authentication.  Anonymous authentication is on but it says it's
 only assigned to the "Browser" role, so why
can these users modify documents without having to login?  I don't understan
d.

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,
