From APACHE 2.2 Site for Windows Security Implementation Guide
Part of WG255
A major tool in exploring the web site use, attempted use, unusual conditions and problems are the access and error logs. In the event of a security incident, these logs can provide the SA and Web Manager with valuable information. Because of the information that is captured in the logs, it is critical that only authorized individuals have access to the logs.
Determine permissions for log files Find the httpd.conf configuration file to determine the location of the log files. The location is indicated at the "ServerRoot" directive. The log directory is a sub-directory under the ServerRoot. ex. :\Apache Group\Apache2\logs or :\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\logs After locating the logs, use the Explorer to move to these files and examine their properties: Properties >> Security >> Permissions. Administrators: Read Auditors: Full Control Web Managers: Read WebServer Account: Read/Write/Execute If anyone other than the Auditors, Administrators, Web Managers, or the account that runs the web server has access to the log files, this is a finding.
To ensure the integrity of the data that is being captured in the log files, ensure that only the members of the Auditors group, Administrators, and the user assigned to run the web server software is granted permissions to read the log files.
Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS
class id, if you view the page source) point to
globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the
link location and paste anywhere you need to talk
unambiguously about these things.
You can obtain data about documents and items in other
formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept:
text/turtle or
Accept: application/rdf+xml.
