FrontPage Properties

Use FreeWAIS search engine

Determines whether to use the search engine included with FrontPage 2002 or the IIS Index Server to build the full-text index of the Web site.

Don't list Windows user accounts in FrontPage

Determines whether the user list shows all users or only those users who were either created on this virtual server or are role members in the current Web site.

List System DSNs in FrontPage

Determines whether FrontPage users can view the list of all system DSNs on the server. Enabling this feature can result in a security vulnerability, because it exposes a list of resources on your server.

Don't allow upload of Executable Programs

Determines whether users are allowed to upload executable programs. If this setting is selected, users receive error messages when they attempt to copy executable programs to the Web server. Organization Site users cannot make directories executable, but Web site administrators (organization administrators) can.

  • Note: Organization Site users can make directories executable only if their account has organization site administrator privileges.
