As a result, the error message confirmed the existence of this directory. Tomcat response HTTP Status 404, while isapi_redirect.dll redirector responses Access forbidden!...., which is HTTP Status 403. Example: http://localhost:8080/WEB-INF/ Return: HTTP Status 404 - /WEB-INF/ This is correct. http://localhost:80/WEB-INF/ Return: Access forbidden! You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read- protected or not readable by the server. This should be 404, not 403. I have checked the code, jakarta-tomcat-connectors-1.2.8- src\jk\native\isapi\jk_isapi_plugin.c, at line 713, and it does response 403 HTTP Status. I cannot find the place to change it from configuration file except re-compile this redirector. While directory listing is not strictly considered vulnerability, I suggest to response 404 HTTP Status to hide the directory, like Tomcat does now. I found a link http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/connectors-doc/howto/iis.html mentions something like this: Protecting the WEB-INF Directory ...., this directory contains sensitive configurations data and Java classes and must be kept hidden from web users. Using the IIS management console it is possible to protect the WEB-INF directory from user access,..... To avoid this need the redirector plugin automatically protects your WEB-INF directories by rejecting any request that contains WEB-INF in its URL-Path. I tried to configure IIS, but it looks like jk_isapi gets higher priority to handle the request and always returns 403 status. Without re-compile the program, how can I make IIS return 404 status? Or maybe next release will do? Recommendation from Cert: When an unauthorized user attempts to access a directory, they should receive an error message that doesn't confirm the existence of the directory. Whether a user is trying to access a valid or invalid directory, they should receive the same error message.
