Hi,

The SQLMembershipProvider does include that functionality to lockout a user 
after a number of failed login attempts.

Hi Jeremy

That is correct if they can find out the admin username and password the
damage will be much more significant. Is SSL enough to protect public
facing sharepoint site? Is there anyway we can implement something similar
to windows AD when user has attempted to login for 3 times the account will
be automatically locked out?

Regards,

Christian

The end users may have access to the web services, but unless their user
account has access to update the list item in SharePoint they will not be
able to update it.

"providing they can find out the username and password" -> if they can get
the admin username and password, they can do significantly more damage via
the web user interface.

You can lock down the web services using firewall/ISA rules to just simply
block them. Just be wary that SharePoint Designer consumes these to talk to
SharePoint.

Cheers,
Jeremy

Subject: Sharepoint security concern


Hi All,

I am currently working on a public facing Sharepoint site project and are
facing abit of problem in determining the best way to achieve one of the
requirement from the client.

The site will be implementing SSL and form based authentication and the
client has no issue over that proposal however they are concerned about web
services in Sharepoint as everybody will be able to access the web services
and update the list item, providing they can find out the username and
password.

Is there anyway we can lock down the web services, for example only allow
one IP to update the list items or is there any better way in doing this
type of restriction?

Regards,

Chris
