WG040 IIS6 - Public web server resources must not be shared with private assets.

Information

It is important to segregate public web server resources from private resources located behind the DoD DMZ in order to protect private assets. When folders, drives or other resources are directly shared between the public web server and private servers the intent of data and resource segregation can be compromised. Resources such as printers, files, and folders/directories must not be shared between public web servers and assets located within the internal network.

Solution

Configure the public web server to not have a trusted relationship with any system resource that is not accessible to the public.
