How do I configure the built-in URLscan to IIS 6?
Hello All,
There's all this talk about IIS 6 being more secure, and having many of the URLscan functionality built-in. A good thing. BUT, I've noticed I can't download *.log even though they have permission to download. How can I configure what can and cannot be changed? This server does not have IIS Lockdown 2.5 or a directory for URLscan under C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsr v . The directory and files have the IUSR account with read permissions.
The general error received:
HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.

Thanks,

Hello Dave,
Thanks for the reply (I'll try it), but I'm really looking to know what other files are blocked. Under URLscan, the ini file listed what extensions were blocked, does this exist for IIS 6?

by default, all unknown mime types are blocked.
what version of URL scan? the built in (2.0) or the latest (2.5)?

Hello af500,
Oh... unknown mime types are blocked. That's a pain since I let users upload files and then enable directory browsing for downloading. This makes it difficult. Maybe, I should install URLscan 2.5 and then only block what I specify. Anyway to disable that feature in IIS 6, blocking of unkown mime file types?
As per what version is built-in to IIS 6, not sure.

Hello Dave,
Awesome, it's perfect, down to the exact directory I want to allow all unknown files, but maintain security for my Exchange directories. Perfect.
Thanks and you (Dave_Dietz) get all the point,

I believe this would be under the HTTP Headers tab of the site properties.
Add an entry of log with a type of application/octet-stream and you should be good to go.
