IIS Permissions Wizard Template Maker assists in the creation of new permissions templates for use with Microsoft® Internet Information Services (IIS), version 5.0 and greater. Permissions Templates are a collection of Access Control permissions, Authentication Methods, and IP Address Restrictions properties that can be applied to an internet site. Stored in the metabase with other IIS settings, templates make it easy to change the security configuration of a site without editing individual properties.
The Permissions Wizard takes a scenario-driven approach in setting up Web and FTP permissions, NTFS access permissions, and authentication schemes. Rather than setting each area with a separate user interface, you select the scenario that most closely resembles your site's needs and the wizard sets all of the access permissions and authentication schemes for you.
One of the great advantages of this is that the wizard will ensure that Web (or FTP) and NTFS permissions are properly coordinated and that the correct authentication scheme is used. All of the settings can later be changed in the IIS snap-in.
The IIS Permissions Wizard is not installed during Windows 2000 Resource Kit installation. To install it, use the following procedure:
