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!
