Security FAQs


Why can't I reference documents outside the document directory ?

For security reasons, only documents within the documents directory can be referenced by users of the Sambar Server, unless document aliases are used. With document aliases, you redirect requests to documents outside the document directory.

What security holes should be plugged prior to putting up the demo server ?

The Sambar Server ships with the following security breaches:
  • security.ini Make sure the proxy accept/deny and directory security are tailored to your needs.
  • users Delete the sample users (anonymous and guest).
  • admin user Put a password on the admin user account.
