Problems setting up a web server with Win XP and IIS 5.1...??? OpenID Ελλάς. OpenID. OpenID is an open standard and decentralized authentication protocol. Promoted by the non-profit OpenID Foundation, it allows users to be authenticated by co-operating sites (known as Relying Parties or RP) using a third party service, eliminating the need for webmasters to provide their own ad hoc login systems, and allowing users to login to multiple unrelated websites without having to have a separate identity and password for each.[1] Users create accounts by selecting an OpenID identity provider, and then use those accounts to sign onto any website which accepts OpenID authentication.

The OpenID protocol does not rely on a central authority to authenticate a user's identity. Moreover, neither services nor the OpenID standard may mandate a specific means by which to authenticate users, allowing for approaches ranging from the common (such as passwords) to the novel (such as smart cards or biometrics).

David Chou Microsoft Corporation August 2008 Summary: Focusing on methods that are used to implement strong user authentication for online-consumer identities, this article aims to distill a comprehensive view of strong user authentication by examining its concepts, implementation approaches, and challenges/additional concerns at the architectural level.

It discusses effective solution approaches, overall architecture design, and emerging developments.

One of the more exploited methods today is the gaining of account access by stealing reusable credentials for Web sites that have not yet implemented "strong" user authentication.

The Internet protocol suite is the computer networking model and set of communications protocols used on the Internet and similar computer networks.

It is commonly known as TCP/IP, because its most important protocols, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), were the first networking protocols defined in this standard. Often also called the Internet model, it was originally also known as the DoD model, because the development of the networking model was funded by DARPA, an agency of the United States Department of Defense. TCP/IP provides end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. The TCP/IP model and related protocol models are maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

Demilitarized zone (computing) In computer security, a DMZ or Demilitarized Zone (sometimes referred to as a perimeter network) is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes an organization's external-facing services to a larger and untrusted network, usually the Internet. The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization's local area network (LAN); an external attacker only has direct access to equipment in the DMZ, rather than any other part of the network. The name is derived from the term "demilitarized zone", an area between nation states in which military operation is not permitted. In the military sense, a DMZ is not seen as belonging to either party bordering it. This concept applies to the computing use of the metaphor in that a DMZ which is, for example, acting as a gateway to the public Internet, is neither as secure as the internal network, nor as insecure as the public Internet.

The System Volume (Sysvol) is a shared directory that stores the server copy of the domain's public files that must be shared for common access and replication throughout a domain. The Sysvol folder on a domain controller contains the following items: Net Logon shares. These typically host logon scripts and policy objects for network client computers. User logon scripts for domains where the administrator uses Active Directory Users and Computers.Windows Group Policy. File replication service (FRS) staging folder and files that must be available and synchronized between domain controllers.File system junctions. Sysvol uses junction points to manage a single instance store. In a single instance store, the physical files only exist one time on the file system. Collapse this tableExpand this table This configuration maintains data consistency by making sure that a single instance of the data set exists.

Microsoft recommends that you do not modify the Sysvol structure. Windows Server TechCenter. Managed Services VPN eTour. Home Network Security.

The .NET Framework version 2.0 and ASP.NET version 2.0 introduce many new security features. Use Windows authentication when you can because it provides secure credential management, password policies, and user account management tools. If your user accounts are in Active Directory or are local accounts, use Windows authentication if you can.

If you cannot use Windows authentication to your Active Directory store, use forms authentication to Active Directory, and use the . A typical configuration is shown here.

Working at the intersection of Web technology and public policy, the Technology and Society Domain's goal is to augment existing Web infrastructure with building blocks that assist in addressing critical public policy issues affecting the Web. Our expectation is not to solve policy problems entirely with technology, but we do believe that well-designed technical tools can lead to policy approaches that are more consistent with the way the Web should operate.

The Semantic Web is an important component in this endeavor, as it provides the means for various entities to instrument their interactions through formal specifications of vocabularies describing relevant policies, rules and resources. Semantic Web technologies will enable our machines to assist users in exercising more control over their online environment and interactions.
