The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Port Fowarding Security Issues

Asked by gerryjc in Miscellaneous Security, IPSec Security Protocol

Tags: iis, cert, dummy, fowarding, port

OK Gents,

I have only allocated this question as 50 points because to experts this may be a very easy question.
If it proves otherwise I will up the points.

The Scenario:
I am running an number applications on IIS on my server.
I want to access these applications from the internet.
I opened a port on my firewall, eg: 2770 and set my IIS to listen to that port.
When I connect to my server from home using the IP address and port no I can connect no problem.

I have also read a bit about setting up SSL on IIS and am fairly confident I can set it up on my server, using either a genuine cert or dummy/internal cert (Does not need to be trusted as only  staff members will be accessing it)

As well as this the individual applications all have a log on feature and use cookies and sessions for security.

So the plan as it stands is to create a main page in the IIS Home Directory Containing links to each application.

The security I plan to have is:
1. SSL
2. Log In/Cookies
3. IIS Configuration

But I am worried about opening up the port like this, are there any blatant security issues I am not taking into consideration here?
