Hi,

I have a page with documents which should only be available to registered users, one of the users googled his name and got a link directly to the Word document

http://www.jciwestbrabant.be/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=KdIA%2B6GhZuA%3D&tabid=58&mid=406

How can I prevent this document to be accessible or to be indexed?

This is serious security issue.

Thx for you help.

Grtz,

Walter

 Hi Walter,

You might want to check the folder permissions for the folder first.  If the folder security is set to All Users, that's likely the culprit.  I would suggest you create a folder with special permissions where you can set this.  If you set a folder, you can also set a robot.txt file to completely ignore that directory, which will help prevent indexing.

For the time being, you may want to remove the file if it is a security risk.

Walter,

besides, your document stored in an unsecure folder (in Admin :: File manager displaying a folder icon, not a lock) are always accessible by using the file path. Create a secure folder (file system) and store your files inside to provide unauthorized access.
