Hi, I want to run a dotnetnuke installation where couple of people(let's assume I don't trust them), are going create their portals. I want to allow them upload a skin through admin interface and use it. Is allowing them to upload a skin, which contains server code in ASCX files going to be secure enough? I guess it might be enough if it doesn't contain any IM A L4M3 H4X0R> tag in it. But, does the skin parsing test the skin files for it? Could anybody help me figure out how to achieve this functionality. Thanks, Chirag

Allowing skin uploads by untrusted users is NOT secure.  If the server is configured ocrrectly though, you can limit the damage to just their portals.  :)

Hey Jeff,

Thanks for the reply. Could you elaborate more on "if the server is configured properly though, you can limit the damage to just their portals" ??

I just want to make sure that by allowing skins(ASCX) upload, I'm not exposing entire(other portals') dotnetnuke database data.
