IIS False Logging Weakness

IIS False Logging Weakness

am 29.10.2007 21:10:58 von unknown

Please help,

I've got an IIS machine that is failing PCI compliance due to the 'False
Logging Weakness'. the resolution states to use URLScan to translate hex
codes into characters, but I have no idea how to do this...

Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks.

If you are running IIS5, install and configure URLScan. If you are using
IIS6, this should be taken care of.

I apologize, I wasn't specific enough.

I have instaleld UrlScan, but am still failing PCI due to the False Logging
Weakness....Other than setting AloowHighBitCharacters=0, what other settings
must I apply?

thank you very much for your assistance.

Sounds like a false positive. I would tell them what you have done and
configured. If they have an issue with it, have them provide the exact scan
text so you can configure your INI file. I've seen other scans state they
do not have the latest Service pack when they actually do.
