Remarks
IsSecurityEnabled has a Default value of OFF.
This switch does NOT affect
- any methods called on IServerObjectAdmin, IServerObjectAdmin2 or IServerObjectAdmin3
- any methods called on IServerObjectManager, IServerObjectManager2, IServerObjectManager3 or IServerObjectManager4 obtained from IGISServerConnection.ServerObjectManager..
This swtich DOES affect the following IServerObjectManager methods only when the interfaces are accessed through IGISServerConnection2.ServerObjectManager:
IServerObjectManager.CreateServerContext
IServerObjectManager.GetConfigurationInfo
IServerObjectManager.GetConfigurationInfos
IServerObjectManager2.GetConfigurationInfosEx
IServerObjectManager2.GetFolders
IServerObjectManager2.FolderInfo
IServerObjectManager2.GetConfigurationStatus
IServerObjectManager3.GetConfigurationInfosEx2
In the case that a user does not have permissions to access a particular resource (e.g configuration or folder ), each of the methods above will return ACCESSDENIED errors and produce the following error message:
"User X does not have sufficient permissions to access Y."
When a user obtains a list of configurations, configurationInfos or Folders it will NOT contain resources to which the user does not have access.
VERY IMPORTANT - If you disable security through the API with a call to IPermissionsAdmin.IsSecurityEnabled = false, you will have exposed all of your web services to the public internet and security will be defeated. Disable security at your own risk!
