Term
FastCGI
Definition
Enables the web server to maintain a pool of processes that new clients can reuse.
Term
Standard CGI
Definition
processing where each client connection causes the OS to create a new process and map the stdin and stdout handles to that client. The server terminates the process when the transaction is completed.
Term
This was designed to an alternative to CGI, enabling a web server to execute applications without spawning a separate process for each request. Primarily Written in C++
Definition
ISAPI (Internet Server Application Programming Interface)
Term
CGI
Definition
Common Gateway Interface - a protocol that enables a web server to run an app specified in client request and pass the request to that app for processing. The web server receives the output from the app and the replies in the form of a web page.
Term
What are the two forms of ISAPI applications?
Definition
-ISAPI extensions
-ISAPI filters
Term
ISAPI Extensions
Definition
Fully realized, in process applications that can generate dynamic HTML pages using info from a database or supplied by the client using a form.
Term
ISAPI Filters
Definition
A routine that operates between the HTTP server and the HTTP listener providing additional functionality, such as application based authentication, encryption and data compression services. IIS6 virtually eliminates the need for ISAPI filters because it can run ISAPI extensions more efficiently in their place.
Term
ASP.NET
Definition
is an upgrade to ASP based on the .NET framework and enable developers to create dynamic web pages, apps and XML web services using a wide variety of programming languages and development tools. Has an .aspx extension and contain HTML or XML
Term
ASP
Definition
Active Server Pages- a server side processing engine to provide better web content, has better performance then CGI and is simpler than ISAPI. Have an .asp extension and use VBscripting language
Term
This is responsible for managing application pools and worker processes. A typical IIS7 config has 7 steps
Definition
WPAS (Windows Process Activation Server)
Term
7 Steps for WPAS
Definition
1. incoming request arrives
2. forwards to appropriate site (IP, port or host header)
3. If it has ASP.NET it goes into the pool for that app
4. Examines the state of the app pool for handling
5. If a worker processess is available, the process goes to that worker process, If not, it spawns a new worker process
6. Worker process executes the code and generates necessary calls
7. packages the results of its activities into a reply and sends it back to the client
Term
What are the 3 ways for configuring application pools?
Definition
1. Isolated process- one (app) to one (worker process)
2. Medium (Pooled) process- one (worker process) to Many (applications)
3. Web Garden- many (apps) to many (worker processes)
Term
The IIS7 wizard creates 2 application pools which are both configured to use a single worker process. What are these called?
Definition
DefaultAppPool and Classic .NET Pool
(All apps that you add to the default web site use DefaultAppPool using a medium pooled config)
Term
Specifies the number of worker processes the application pool can use.
Specifying a value grater than 1 configures the pool as a Web Garden.
Definition
Maximum worker Processes setting
Term
UDDI Service
Definition
Universal Discovery Description and Integration
Term
An XML based directory service that enables businesses to publish listings about their activities and the services they offer
Definition
UDDI Service
Term
This is where the service stores information about Web sites as well as its configuration settings.
Definition
UDDI Services Database
Term
This is known as a "site"
Definition
When UDDI Services Database and UDDI Services Web Application role services share the same configuration.
Term

Definition
Anonymous
Term
Click _________________ (on access tab) to enable basic authentication or integrated windows authentication.
Definition
Authentication
