A global authorization rule to restrict access must exist on the web server.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-26006	WA000-WI6120	SV-32657r2_rule		Low

Description
Authorization rules can be configured at the server, web site, folder (including Virtual Directories), or file level. It is recommended that URL Authorization be configured to only grant access to the necessary security principals. Configuring a global Authorization rule that restricts access ensures inheritance of the settings down through the hierarchy of web directories. This will ensure access to current and future content is only granted to the appropriate principals, mitigating risk of unauthorized access.
