Web Server SecurityThe web server uses a role-based access control (RBAC) architecture:
There are three main functional components to this architecture:
Privileges are used to secure access to various server objects like databases, dataset commands, server applications, and native server modules. Each of these server objects can be assigned a privilege that determines whether the object is accessible to the user.
If a server object is not assigned a privilege, then it is assumed to be globally accessible to any user. Also, server applications have access to all databases and datasets, regardless of the authenticated user that is making the request to the server application. This makes it very important to monitor and audit who is designated as being able to install/uninstall server applications in the web server.
Privileges can also provide access control within server applications. Server applications can check to see if the user executing a server application request has been granted a given role or privilege using one of the following methods of the incoming web server request instance:
HasRole
HasPrivilege
Please see the Server Applications topic for more information on how to access the properties and methods of incoming web server requests in server applications.
The web server is automatically configured with a set of pre-defined privileges, roles, and users that are primarily used for securing administrative access to the web server. They provide fine-grained control over what administrative functionality is granted to any given role.
Privileges
The following is the list of pre-defined privileges in the web server, separated by functional group:
Privilege Management
Role Management
User Management
Database Management
Native Server Module Management
Server Application Management
Server Status
Deployment and Folder/File Management
Roles
The following is the list of pre-defined roles in the web server and their assigned privileges:
Users
The following is the list of pre-defined users in the web server and their assigned roles:
Default Authentication Information
The pre-defined Administrator user uses the following password (case-sensitive):
You should not deploy instances of the web server into production without first ensuring that such instances have been properly configured so that the default Administrator password has been changed. For both the 32-bit and 64-bit web server services, but not the console version of the web server included for development purposes, the web server will log a warning into the system log if the default password is still set for the pre-defined Administrator user. Please see the Web Server Logging topic for more information.
The pre-defined Anonymous user does not have a password.
