Why Micros~1 loses the security war, or vendor lock-in
WTF, Bill?
None of your tools seem to support any kind of security in the web tier.
WebDAV over HTTPS (to secure BASIC auth)? I can mount a Web Folder, but does Expression Web, a.k.a FrontPage v12, support it? No! or at least in not any appreciable manner, i.e., when WebDAV is served by Apache. God damn you Bill Gates!
FTP over SSL/TLS? Apparently not. Again, the tool support is shitty! Expression Web, a.k.a. FrontPage v12? No. The asinine encouragement of clear text passwords over FTP is mind boggling! And you wonder why IIS gets a shitty reputation!
Micros~1, you suck.
I’m going to bed.
