Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 4 ACCESS CONTROL LISTS (ACL) Lab: Properties for root of a drive Windows Explorer Right-click Properties Access Control Entries ACL has ACEs Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 5 PERMISSIONS Permissions are keys to unlock access to resources. Full Control permission is the master key. Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 6 INHERITANCE Allows permissions assigned at one folder to flow down to subsequent files and folders Can be overridden by explicit permission assignment or inheritance blocking Useful in reducing the number of permission assignments required 2

Require: Client for Microsoft Networks File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 11 ADMINISTRATIVE SHARES Administrative shares are hidden. Appending a share with a $ creates a hidden share. Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 12 RESTRICTIONS ON CREATING FILE SYSTEM SHARES On a domain controller: Administrators, Server Operators, Enterprise Admins, Domain Admins groups On a domain member server or workstation: Administrators, Server Operators, Power Users groups On a workgroup or standalone computer: Administrators or Power Users groups 4

Lack of flexibility Permissions applied to the share apply to all levels below. No replication Share permissions are not replicated. No resiliency Share permissions cannot be backed up or restored. 7

Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 22 USING SHARE PERMISSIONS (continued) Fragility Shares (and therefore share permissions) are lost when a folder is moved or renamed. No auditing Share permissions do not facilitate auditing. Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 23 SHARE PERMISSION DEFAULTS When a new share is created, the following permissions are granted: Everyone special identity: Read Administrators: Full Control Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 24 CREATING A FILE SYSTEM SHARING STRATEGY Create logically named shares. Use nesting where necessary to reduce users need to navigate the directory structure. Share removable drives from the root to keep the share available when media are removed and reconnected or changed. 8

Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 25 NESTING SHARES A share can be created on any folder in the file system. Multiple shares on the same folder can have different permissions. Permissions are applied at the share entry point. Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 26 USING NTFS PERMISSIONS Scope NTFS permissions apply no matter how the file is accessed. Flexibility Wide range of permissions allows assignments to be tailored. Replication NTFS permissions are included when a file is replicated. Resilience NTFS permissions are retained when objects are backed up. Less fragile NTFS permissions are not lost if a file is moved or renamed. Auditing NTFS permissions support auditing.

Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 31 RESOURCE OWNERSHIP Each file and folder is assigned an owner. Ownership of a file makes the security principle a member of the Creator/Owner special identity. Files that are owned go toward disk quota calculations. Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 32 ADMINISTERING IIS Web server platform included with all editions of Windows Server 2003. Version 6 has improved security over previous versions. Allows files to be published through a browser interface. Supports HTTP and FTP. Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 33 INSTALLING IIS Not installed during operating system installation Installed through the Windows Components Wizard (select Add Or Remove Programs in Control Panel, and click Add/Remove Windows Components) or through the Manage Your Server wizard 11

Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 43 CONFIGURING SECURE COMMUNICATIONS Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 44 SUMMARY Windows Server 2003 controls access to resources using a number of mechanisms, including share permissions and NTFS permissions. Every object protected by permissions has an ACL, which is a list of ACEs assigned to that object. Each ACE contains a security principal and indicates the level of access they are permitted or denied to the object. File system shares enable network users to access files and folders on other computers. Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 45 SUMMARY (continued) Share permissions provide basic protection for file system shares, but they lack the granularity and flexibility of NTFS permissions. NTFS permissions can be allowed or denied, and explicit or inherited. A Deny permission takes precedence over an Allow permission, and an explicit permission takes precedence over an inherited permission. 15

Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 46 SUMMARY (continued) Access granted by NTFS permissions can be restricted by share permissions and other factors, such as IIS permissions on Web sites. Whenever two permission types are assigned to a resource, you must evaluate each set of permissions and then determine which of the two is more restrictive. Every NTFS file and folder has an owner. The owner of a file or folder is always permitted to modify the file or folder s ACL. Chapter 9: SHARING FILE SYSTEM RESOURCES 47 SUMMARY (continued) Any user with the Allow Take Ownership permission or the Take Ownership Of Files Or Other Objects user right can take ownership of an object. IIS is a Windows Server 2003 application that allows you to share files and folders using Web and FTP server services. 16
