Securing Backend like webserver database and linking via odbc or roaming user profile (1 Viewer)

[razaqad]

On a webserver certian files are stored above the root directory. Therefor the user of the website can never access those files directly. But he is utlizing that file.

For example:
We use Hotmail to see our mails. but we never download the complete database.

So is there a method that we can secure the backend using roaming profiles or something else so the user has a link to the backend but cant directly access the backend.

Yes, there are several steps however but it is not difficult. Is this a domain user environment? What is the operating system?

We are using WinXp professional throughout the organization. And its a workgroup environment.
But If needed I would switch to domain environment and change the opp system as required.
Please guide me in detail as i know nothing about networking

Thanks and regards
