1. Windows Server 2012 Security

Windows Server 2012 security actually begins during the planning and designing phases so that every conceivable security aspect is addressed. This can entail physical, logical (Windows Server 2012, applications, and so on), and communications security.

When you’re securing the Windows Server 2012 system with the Web Server (IIS) role, it’s important to keep the server updated and apply the latest service pack and security patches. Keeping up-to-date with service packs and patches ensures that Windows Server 2012 is operating with the greatest amount of protection.

Application security on the Windows Server 2012 system with the Web Server (IIS) role should be carefully reviewed, especially if it’s a custom-built application. If the application is developed by a vendor, make sure that you have an application that is certified to run on Windows Server 2012 and that all vendor recommendations for configuration and security have been reviewed, vetted and if appropriate, implemented.


2. IIS Authentication

Authentication is a process that verifies that users are who they say they are. IIS supports a multitude of authentication methods, including the following:

Anonymous authentication—Users can establish a connection to the website without providing credentials.

Active Directory client certificate authentication—Users can establish a connection by using their Active Directory client certificate for authentication.

ASP.NET impersonation—Users can utilize an impersonation context other than the ASP.NET account.

Windows authentication—This authentication method can be integrated with Active Directory. As users log on, the hash value of the password is sent across the wire instead of the actual password.

Digest authentication—Similar to Integrated Windows authentication, a hash value of the password is transmitted. Digest authentication requires a Windows Server domain controller to validate the hash value.

Basic authentication—Basic authentication sends the username and password over the wire in clear-text format. This authentication method offers little security to protect against unauthorized access by itself and is typically used in conjunction with SSL-based protection of the site or page.

Forms authentication—Users are redirected to a secure page where they enter their credentials. After they have been authenticated, they are redirected back to the page they originally requested.

These authentication methods can be enabled under the Authentication feature page, as illustrated in Figure 1. You can view this window by selecting the feature under the IIS section at the server, site, or virtual directory level.
