5b) Request Filtering
Question 6 : Explain the difference between “classic mode” and “integrated mode” in Application Pool

Classic mode

It maintains backward compatibility with earlier versions of IIS by using an ISAPI extension to invoke the
ASP.NET rutime.

Integrated Mode

Integrated mode is a new mode in IIS7 where IIS pipeline is tightly integrated (i.e is just the same) as
ASP.NET request pipeline. Because ASP.NET is no longer treated as an external plugin. It is completely
blended and integrated in IIS.

Question 7 : Name the version of SSL

SSL is a standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client. SSL
allows sensitive information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers and login credentials to
be transmitted securely. SSL is a security Protocol and use SSL handshake to establish connection. The last
version of SSL is V3.

Question 8 : Explain the function of Public key and Private key encryption

The public and private key pair comprise of two uniquely related cryptographic keys. The public key is as its
name suggest is made available to everyone. The private key remain confidential to its respective owner.
Both keys are needed to decrypt the encrypted data before use.

Question 9 : Explain the function of a digital certificate

Digital Certificates are a means which consumers and businesses use for security applications of Public Key
Infrastructure (PKI). PKI comprises of the technology to enables secure e-commerce and internet based
communication.

Digital certificates provide security like

identification and authentication : indentification of the person communicating.
Confidentiality : the message is kept confidential.
integrity : the message is not tampered while transmission
non repudiation : the sender and receiver cannot deny acknowledgement of the message
Access Control : Access to the message is only to the intended person.
Question 10 : List the steps for configuring an SSL certificate on a website under IIS6

To install SSL Certificate on IIS6 :

Open IIS 6
Browse to the website you need to install SSL
Right Click and choose properties
Click the tab Directory Security -> select server certificate
run the IIS certificate wizard
select process the pending request and install the certificate
enter the path or location of the pending certificate
Give SSL port : 443
Complete the wizard by clicking finish

Question 11 : List 2 modules on IIS7 and their corresponding configuration on IIS6.

IIS6 Bindings
open IIS6\select the website you want to configure\r/click properties
click the tab website and click advanced (next to ip address)
in the advanced website identification -> click add to add port to the website and ssl settings

IIS7 Bindings
Open IIS7\select the website you want to configure, click on bindings on the right
click add to add port to the website

IIS6 - Application Pool

Open IIS6\choose Application Pool-> R/click New application Pool
In Application Pool ID , type a name
Select use default settings for new application pool and clik ok
R/Click on (created name) and select properties
Go to the identity tab and click predefined
select local system
Click apply and ok

Directing App Pool to use (created name) website

R/click on (created Name) and select properties
Go to Home Directory tab and click remove
Click create and in Application Pool list box, select (created name) and apply
Go to the Directory Security and Under authentication and access, click Edit
change IUSR_username to administrator account and select enable anonymous access
Click ok to re-enter password for admin and click OK and restart web service

IIS7 - Application Pool

Open IIS7\choose Application Pool->R/click and choose add new application Pool
Type name (Created Name), on Managed pipeline field, choose classic
Tick start App Pool immediately, Click OK
In App Pool, select (created Name) and click advanced settings in right pane
Go the proces module section and on the identity field change value from network service to localsystem
and click ok
Using new created App Pool (created Name)
Select the website and locate the virtual directory and advanced setting in right pane
Go to the General section and on App Pool, click browse and select App Pool (created name)
Question 12 : Explain the difference between Native and Managed Module.

Native code

It is written in the "native"machine language of the computer that it is running on and is executed directly
by the processor. Any portability to another OS/instruction set is lost and must be recompiled to execute.
eg. C and C++ are native.

Managed Code

It is written in a special language that requires another program to run it. This other program is often called
an interpreter as it interprets the special language. Eg. Java and C# and .NET are all managed.

Question 13 : With the website “megaservice”, provide an error page “service unavailable”.

The result will be http error 503 service unavailable

Question 14 : Explain the mechanism of recycling of Application Pool.

An Application Pool is a mechanism used by IIS to isolate web applications, allowing you to have different
configurations.

Recycling means the worker process that handles requests for that application pool is terminated and a
new one started. This is generally done to avoid unstable states that can lead to application crashes, hangs,
or memory leaks.

Configure automatic application pool recycling :

open IIS and click on Application Pools

The wizard will first asked for settings and second the log events when they are triggered.
Question 15 : By using the command appcmd :
15a) Create a website “mega-clone2” with the files of the website “megaservice”
15b) The website will response on URL “clone2.mega.com
15c) The boot file will be index.htm
15d) Create an Application Pool “mega-clone2” for this website.
15e) Take a backup for the configuration of IIS
15f) Remove the website “mega-clone2”
15g) Restore the website on IIS

15a) Create a website “mega-clone2” with the files of the website “megaservice”

Appcmd.exe is the single command line tool for managing IIS7 and above. It exposes all key server
management functionality through a set of management objects that can be manipulated from the
command line. It is found in %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\directory.

Appcmd can be used for :

Create and configure sites, apps, application pools and virtual directory
start and stop sites and recycle application pools
list running work process and examine executing requests
search, manipulate, export and import IIS and ASP.NET configuration

To create a website :

appcmd add site /name:mega-clone2 /bindings:http/*:80:clone2.mega.com

/physicalpath:d:\clients\www.megaservice.com\fichiers

15b) The website will response on URL “clone2.mega.com

15c) The boot file will be index.htm
15d) Create an Application Pool “mega-clone2” for this website.

15e) Take a backup for the configuration of IIS

DOS Command :

Cd\
C:\windows\system32\inetsrv
Appcmd add backup“IIS_backup_14-04-2017-2”

15f) Remove the website “mega-clone2”

15g) Restore the website on IIS

1. Close IIS
2. Restore IIS
