We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

SUMMARY

The Internet Information Server (IIS) contains four registry keys. They are FTP, Gopher, WWW (World Wide Web) and the Internet Information Server.

The Internet Information Server registry key provides registry parameters and values that are global for the InetInfo process and the server. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

143180 : IIS Common Registry Parameters

This article lists specific registry parameters and values that are used by the IIS Gopher service only.

MORE INFORMATION

The following is a list of registry parameters and values that are used specifically for the IIS Gopher service.

The parameter location is under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE subtree under the following subkeys:

   \System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GOPHERSVC\Parameters

CheckForWAISDB                                  REG_DWORD
Range:  0 or 1                                  Default:0
Description:                                    CONFIGURABLE

The Gopher Service uses the WAIS toolkit to support Gopher-based searches. However, Microsoft does not ship the WAIS toolkit with the Internet Information Server. This value name is used to specify if the search is supported and if the service should check for the WAIS toolkit. If this value name is set to 0, the service does not support searches and does not look for the WAIS toolkit. If it is set to 1, then the service supports the search and looks for the WAIS toolkit (if WAISLOOK.EXE is installed).

DebugFlags                                      REG_DWORD
Range:  0 - 0xFFFFFFFF                          Default:0
Description:                                    INTERNAL ANALYSIS

This value specifies bit mask for selectively enabling different checks in a debug binary of the Gopher service (GOPHERD.DLL). The output is sent to the debug terminal by default. This bit mask applies to the Gopher service DLL only.
